Bacillinum, a Nosode for the 21st Century - Sadhana Thakkar

Sun, Apr 02, 2006

Bacillinum has been one of the more under-described and under-prescribed homeopathic remedies until recently. Although Farrington and other homeopaths in the past made several references for its efficacy over Tuberculinum, it still remained obscure. In the past few years, having treated many cases successfully with Bacillinum, the clinical presentation of Bacillinum has clearly emerged to me as a distinctly different remedy. Bacillinum is prepared from the macerated lung tissue containing not just bacillus but also lung tissue in all phases including the tubercle phase whereas Tuberculinum is prepared from the glycerin extract of a pure cultivation of tubercular bacillus. Just by the nature of the preparation, one can imagine the difference between the two. While Tuberculinum reflects the perspective of the bacillus, Bacillinum is the manifestation of the intense struggle between the bacillus and the immune response of the host.
