If the patient becomes gravely ill after surgery and feels
very weak, the administration of Acetic acid may be very helpful in restoring
his condition. In such cases, Strontium Carb and Carbo Veg are also very
useful. It is stated that the Acetic acid 1X applied on the stomach can
dissolve the cancerous mass of the stomach. Acetic acid 1X has the capability
of softening the tumour and converting it into pus. Dr. Owens is of the opinion that in epithelial
cancers, Acetic acid should be administered internally as well as externally.
Typically, severe burning in the stomach and the chest, followed by cold sweats
on the forehead, are salient features of Acetic acid.
The Acetic acid patient suffers from debilitating diarrhoea. Acetic acid is
considered useful in diabetes
also. If there is marked weakness associated with frequent fainting
fits due to lack of blood (anaemia) and there is difficulty in breathing, Acetic
acid will be found very effective to relieve these symptoms.
Specifically, in Acetic acid, the patient sweats during high fever, red spots
appear on the left cheek, but there is no thirst. Another special
characteristic of the Acetic acid is backache which gets better only by lying
on the stomach (prone position).
