Homeopathic

Cadmium met. comes between zinc and mercury with an atomic weight of 48. The toxicology indicates vomiting, loss of appetite, emaciation. Sneezing and coughing with profuse secretion from the respiratory and ocular mucus membranes.

Cadmium met. and other chemical combinations of cadmium have proved curative in many cases of stomach and intestinal cancer.

Many of these cases were caused by irritative actions of alumina toxin resulting from aluminum cooking utensils. The water supply of many cities and towns has been treated with aluminum fluoride, exposing the public to a potent carcinogenic agent that has the potential to activate the disease in all those with inherited tendencies to it.

Cadm-mel. and Cadm-o. are the most effective antidotes against the alumina toxins. The blood changes, anemia, and the gastrointestinal tracts are especially affected by the alumina poison. When absorbed by the lungs and intestines, cadmium causes lesions on the pulmonary and digestive epithelium. Fatigue, with lassitude like influenza, dull aching all over. State of indifference, desire to be alone, improved by the appearance of a skin eruption. Anemia. Nausea and vomiting.

Comments

The first proving was carried out by Burdach in 1827 with a half gram, and later by Petro. The proving was undertaken again at the instigation of the International League of Homeopathy in 1947 and a report was created by Gutman in 1951. The proving was made on thirty-eight provers, using the 2c, 1c, 6x, 12x, and 30c potencies.

In another connection, Mac Farland made a proving on four female provers using the Skinner potencies, 10m and 50m. Templeton experimented on nine provers with 2c. Pahud on sixteen provers with 2c, 3c, 6x, 12x, and 30x.

Violent vomiting attack with headache alternating of heat and coldness. Some pressing pain in the liver and spleen. Vomiting of bile and acid. More frequent urination discoloring the toilet bowl brownish or a deep lemon color, very difficult to wash from the bowl.

Hemorrhage of the bladder and rectum was cured many times by Dr. Grimmer, especially when dark-colored blood with small clots was present. Bright red hemorrhages have also been observed.

Grimmer had a case: "Severe neuralgic pains in the face with plugged sinus, followed by facial paralysis, after large doses of quinine and aspirin, cured with one dose of Cadm-met. 10,000c."
