BACILLUS No. “7” (Paterson)

This is so named because it was the 7th non-lactose
fermenting type of bacillus to be observed in the laboratory, and as it
did not conform to any of the previously known groups, it was given the
numeral “7”.

As a keynote for the use of this nosode I suggest

“Mental
and Physical Fatigue”. The
“proving” of Bacillus
No. “7” is not
unlike that of Proteus
(Bach) as it has similar
relationship ;
Proteus (Bach)
is related to Chlorine
whereas Bacillus
No. “7” seems to
have a closer relationship to the two halogens, Bromine
and iodine,
often in combination with Potassium.

Mentals.

The outstanding symptom is
mental fatigue, a feeling of unfitness for any mental effort, which
produces a sense of extreme physical exhaustion.

Digestive System.

All the symptoms can be
related to general lack of nerve and muscle tone ;
a sense of fullness after food ;
flatulence and distension of the stomach ;
enteroptosis.

Genito-urinary System.

Feeble urinary flow ;
loss of sexual function, premature senility.

Respiratory System.

Asthma ;
bronchial catarrh ;
tough sticky mucus, difficult to raise.

(Compare the symptom picture of

Kali
carb., which is one of the
associated remedies.)

Circulation.

Slow pulse rate, often with
lowered blood pressure ;
myocardial weakness.

(Potassium

has
a specific action on cardiac muscle.)

Neuro-muscular System.

Relaxed fibrous tissue, with
tendency to the formation of “rheumatic nodules” ;
backache, cannot stand long without feeling of faintness ;
tendency to syncope after sudden exertion.

Skin.

Nothing
outstanding ;
sensitive to cold, to draughts and cold damp air.
