Homeopathic Remedies are Often Made from Diseased Tissues and Discharges (Dr. Jennifer Gunter’s blog The Vagenda)

While homeopathy remedies do sometimes start with a plant (for example, arnica, which apparently treats everything), many are nosodes, meaning their origin is diseased human or animal tissues or drainage from diseased tissues. Apparently, 95% of homeopaths think nosodes are important medical care. Here are some examples:

Luesinum (also called syphilinum) — made from syphilis, likely from an ulcer. According to the website abc homeopathy, its use is for “utter prostration and debility in the morning” as well as shifting rheumatic pains, hereditary tendency for alcoholism, and ulcers in the mouth, nose, and on the genitals.

Personally, I use coffee for my morning utter prostration and debility.

And then there is….

Lyssinum (also called lyssin or hydrophobium) — from the saliva of a rabid dog.

Lachesis — made from venom from a pit viper. This one is used for hot flushes (or hot flashes) in menopause. I’m not exactly sure how to frame a woman having hot flushes as being like a pit viper, it feels a tad misogynistic.

Tuberculinum — from a tuberculosis abscess.

Meningococcinum — apparently from tissue infected with Neisseria meningitidis. The tragic thing is homeopaths recommend this to parents instead of the vaccine.
