Manganum Vergleich
[David Wember]
Speaking of the skin, psoriasis is a deep-seated illness that is
difficult to treat both allopathically and homeopathically. Here is a remedy
that has recently caught my attention . Manganum aceticum. I have used this
remedy in the past mainly for the keynote symptom of cough, better lying. I use
the phosphate of Manganum, in this instance, something I learned from Dr. Rood
when she taught us years ago. The skin symptoms of Manganum are definitely not
well repertorized in Kent:
Chronic eczema and psoriasis especially about
the joints.
Cracked skin and suppurations that are
difficult to heal.
Deep-seated pains in the bones, worse night.
Shin pains: very sensitive to touch.
Ankles which get sore without explanation.
Migrating and diagonal symptoms or crosswise
pains
Classic symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.
Listed in Kent in the third degree under the Menopause rubric. So, when
I saw a woman, in her late forties, who was under extreme marital stress, who
went into sudden menopause and at the same time developed psoriasis about the
elbows and knees, I gave Manganum 200C. The psoriasis disappeared in two weeks.
She's still under stress, but mentally, she said she felt more positive and
better able to cope with her situation. Remember Manganum has anemia and has
been reported to bring back the menstrual flow. The association of anemia,
scanty menstruation, amenorrhea or flow between the menses and eczema are prime
indications of Manganum.
