This is the nosode prepared from

B.
Dysenterić and the keynote
for its use is nervous tension
of a peculiar type and best
described as “anticipatory”,
since it is that sense of
nerve tension which a student might feel immediately before facing his
examiners, or a business man before attending an important engagement.

Mentals.

Nervous tension, mental
uneasiness in anticipation of some event ;
hypersensitive to criticism ;
shyness and uneasiness among
strangers ;
mental uneasiness shows itself by physical restlessness, cannot keep
still, fidgets, choreic movements of facial muscles, or limbs. Headache,
frontal over the eyes, or in vertex, brought on by excitement ;
often occurs at regular time periods of ₇ or 14 days’ cycle.

Digestive System.

B. Dysenterić has been shown
to have selective action on the pylorus causing spasm and retention of
digested contents ;
dilatation of stomach ;
wakened at 12 midnight to I a. m. with acute pain in stomach, relieved
by vomiting of a large quantity of mucous material.

In some children, diagnosed as- suffering from

congenital
pyloric stenosis considerable
success has followed the use of Dys.
Co. (Bach), which would
suggest that in these cases the condition had been due to pyloric spasm
rather than to congenital malformation, of the pylorus.

Duodenal ulcer often calls for the use of the nosode

Dys.
Co. (Bach) but there must
always be present also evidence of nervous tension, which always
precedes the physical symptom and which the patient feels and refers to
his “stomach and heart area”. This is in contrast to the type
of duodenal ulcer found associated with the B.
Proteus, where the nerve
tension is insidious in action, unperceived by the patient, and the
physical condition-the ulcer-tends to come on as a “crisis”
without previous warning.

Cardio-vascular.

Functional disturbance of
heart action, associated with nerve tension ;
palpitation before important events ;
anticipatory discomfort in the cardiac area.

These are the outstanding symptoms found in the
clinical proving of the nosode

Dys.
Co. (Bach),
and you will find in them something of each of the associated remedies, Arsen.
Alb. ;
Argent. Nit. ;
Kalmia.
