the deep muscles of the back.

Die Märchen der Medizin: Die 20 wichtigsten Medizin-Mythen und 5 Mythen, an die sogar Ärzte glauben
[Jan Schweitzer]
Gesundheit
Bei Rückenschmerzen hilft Bettruhe
Mehr als 70% aller Menschen in den Industrienationen leiden irgendwann im Leben einmal an Rückenschmerzen. Einige von ihnen gehen damit zum Arzt, und der hat, neben viel Mitgefühl natürlich, oft auch den Rat parat, sich zu schonen und am besten mal ins Bett zu legen. Das aber ist grundfalsch, es macht die Beschwerden oft nur noch schlimmer. Richtig wäre das genaue Gegenteil: aktiv bleiben, Gymnastik machen, joggen oder spazieren gehen. Dabei kann man sich immer wieder zwei Zahlen aufsagen, die die Schmerzen vielleicht eine Zeit lang vergessen lassen: 90 und 6. Sie bedeuten, dass bei 90% der Betroffenen akute Rückenschmerzen innerhalb von sechs Wochen ganz von allein verschwinden.
Acute pain down the sciatic nerve < any
movement, very sensitive to cold, more comfortable if kept quiet
Mag-p.: r. sided
Coloc.: l. sided
Sciatica: Ars. ↔ Mag-p. ↔ Coloc.
Some sciatica patients are frightfully
uncomfortable the longer they keep still, they have got to start moving, and 2
drugs which seem to cover the majority of these cases.
Kali-i.: warm-blooded, and the
sciatic pains tend to be more troublesome when warm (of bed)/rather > moving
about.
Rhus-t.: the same modalities
with a chilly patient, particularly if he is sensitive to damp as well as cold,
and again more comfortable when moving about.

[Douglas Morris Borland]
Another type of neuralgia-the sciaticas. In cases of sciatica, pure
sciatica, in which I can get no indications at all but the ordinary classical
symptoms of sciatica, that
is to say, acute pain down the sciatic nerve < any movement, very
sensitive to cold, more comfortable if kept quite and warm, then it depends
which leg is involved.
R. sided sciatica Mag-p.,
L. sided Coloc.
Frightfully uncomfortable the longer they keep still:
warm blooded: Kali-i.
Chilly, sensitive to damp as well as cold, and again more comfortable when
moving about: Rhus-t.
Odd indications:
marked numbness + pain/tenderness: Gnaph.
Numbness + pain and tenderness of the sciatic nerve Plb-met. (extreme,
constipation as well as the pain and numbness)
Less frequently used:
Calc.: (psora/sciatica after working in
water). In the antecedents gonorrhoea/vaccination/serological injections.
Med.: < Psoric ground of arthritis is very
favourable for sciatica:
If there is doubt that tuberculosis is closely connected with psora,
Marmoreck and Tub-r. should be used in oxygenoids and Tub-r. in hydrogenoids.
These will be
the remedies. For syphilitic ground Luesinum is to be used. The cancer
ground, with its deep intoxication, its eliminations or its fixations along a
nerve is also a cause
of sciatica.
The ground remedies such as Lyc., Ars. etc. should be carefully
individualized because of the morbid transfer. The most recommendable nosode is
heterogeneous
or autogenous sanguine therapy (isopathy). Finally we should recommend
not to omit in the interrogatory an enquiry on possible traumatism.
Ground remedies
Following remedies of the basis of sciatica but, if they cover well the
cause, may also be used as symptomatic remedies.
Used as ground remedies, in high dilutions (C 200/C 1000).
Most important:
Sulph.: Psora. L.
Graph.: psora/chilly,
Nat-m.: tuberculin, < sea side.
Sil.: tuberculin. SENsitive to cold
2 nosodes: Medorrhinum and Luesinum.
Med.: < thinking about symptoms. > at
night/sea side. Changing character, impatient, anxious. Time passes slowLY.
Fear of becoming mad. Sensation of heat; burning pains in the brain; sweating palms.
Conscious of her uterus. Skin/secretions smell bad.
Syph.: < at night/sea side. > on mountains.
NERvous/anxious for his health, diminution of memory. Continually washes hands,
desires alcohol. Pains increase and decrease gradually. Bone pains. Headache.
Deep longitudinal crack on the tongue. Limbs restless, must move continually.
In sciatica > movement/walking. As ground remedies should be used in high
dilutions (C 200/C 1000) and repeated at long intervals (3 weeks - 1 month).
Two remedies may be repeated alternately, at interval of 1- 3 hours,
when more than one remedy is chosen. In chronic cases, C 6 or C 30 once or
twice.
When there is the possibility of finding a single remedy it is then the
triumph of unicism and in that case the medicine may be used according to the
Kentian fashion,
in high dilution and waiting for the results.
We have classified the remedies in 3 groups:
1.
most
important remedies,
2.

in alphabetical order frequently used,
