Diphtherinum is prepared from the toxin of Diphtheria. All
such remedies prepared from the toxic material obtained from diseases are called
Nosode. In general, the Nosode is not used to treat the sickness from which it
has been derived; but rather for the treatment of similar types of ailments.
Yet, the administration of Diphtherinum affects conspicuously on Diphtheria. In
this way, it is a very important treatment for Diphtheria. So far no better
medicine or remedy has been found as effective for Diphtheria.
he traditional
anti-Diphtheria vaccination is no match to it regarding prevention. During the epidemic
of Diphtheria, a few doses in 200 potency not only dispel the immediate danger
of contracting Diphtheria, but also may not be required for another eight
years. The traditional vaccination is effective for three years at the most. A
few doses of Diphtherinum 200 should be followed a few months later with
Diphtherinum CM. This will offer
protection against Diphtheria for life. Diphtherinum has been compared to the
formal vaccination. It was found that some of the children who were given the
vaccination still contracted Diphtheria or developed some ailment as a reaction
to the vaccination itself, while in the case of Diphtherinum, not one child
contracted Diphtheria nor were there any other complications or side effects. Diphtherinum has also been found useful in
the prevention of influenza. During an influenza epidemic, the combination of Influenzinum,
Bacillinum and Diphtherinum is a potent preventive treatment. Diphtherinum has
also been found very effective in weak and paralysed
muscles of swallowing. Diphtherinum will also be useful in the
treatment of the affliction of the heart due to influenza. Diphtherinum is also of use in all those
diseases which exhibit Diphtheria like symptoms. It is extremely beneficial in
the treatment of enlarged tonsils, a thick red tongue, foul smelling
excretions, difficulty in swallowing or, regurgitation of the food and water through
the nose.
