This is a case illustrating the effective and powerful action that SANUM Remedies provided to a female patient who arrived at my office in Glendale, AZ in April of 2003.

A 75 yo female presented to my office with a pre-diagnosed condition by her M.D., Primary Care Physician (PCP) of pulmonary pneumonia.  The diagnosis was via thoracic radiograph and his clinical assessment.  The radiograph showed a positive mass of the left lower lobe.  As far as I was informed there was no sputum sample assessed for microbial growth.  Her PCP prescribed antibiotics and instructed her to check into the hospital due to the severity of her condition and her age.  The patient refused and decided to look for a physician who practiced medicine using natural therapeutics as her former physician had. 

The patient consulted this long-time family doctor who had provided natural therapeutics in the past, including SANUM Remedies.  He had moved out of the state and obviously being unavailable, referred the patient to me because of my experience with SANUM. 

In taking the case, the patient stated that the condition began as an upper respiratory, allergy-like response that moved down into her thoracic area to the left lung.  The patient stated that she was expectorating green phlegm, urinating brownish-colored urine with a strong odor and coughing throughout the entire 24 hour day: waking and sleeping hours.  She had been experiencing increased cough with pleural congestion over the last 12 days.  The patient had presented to her general primary care physician one day prior to arriving to my office. 

The patient had obvious respiratory congestion that was audible during the intake without auscultation.  Her cough exacerbated the gurgling rales and she indeed, expectorated this phlegm from the cough.

The patient, besides the present condition, was in generally good health.  She had a very good, primarily vegetarian diet.  She stated that she did not consume meat as it made her nauseated.  She had a past history of allergies and had pneumonia 30 years ago; 16 amalgams removed in 1980, no root canals and no cavitations in which she was aware.  She had a complete hysterectomy in 1975, appendectomy in the 1960’s, and a right breast lumpectomy that was a benign neoplasm.

Regarding the present condition, the patient denied dyspnea, although deep breathing would sometimes bring on the cough.  Lung sounds ironically revealed no crackles or wheezing.  Bronchophony was positive; heart rate 88bpm, strong and regular; respiratory rate 20bpm and slightly labored.

I also, for the record, recommended that the patient go to the hospital, but again she refused.

The patient appeared to have a bacterial condition of the lung.  As the lung, being an eliminatory organ, is associated with the GI tract, I felt there was much disharmony with the lung/large intestine association.  Therefore, my objective goals were to treat the presenting lung condition, but also the likely source of the imbalance, the GI tract.

I recommended the following protocol:

Diet:                         primarily steamed vegetables, broths, soups. 

Water intake:             1/2 weight in ounces, minimum.

No grains, dairy, or other associated allergenic foods.

 

On Day 1

To treat the higher pathological/opportunistic microbes:

Pleo Not (fungal remedy to affect the bacterial inflammation) 5 gtt BID X 2 days.

Increase to TID on the third day.

Pleo Fort  (fungal remedy to affect the GI tract) same dosage as the Pleo Not

To treat the milieu:

Pleo Citro (lungs are associated with the TUBERCULINIC Miasm and

T.B. is part of the Aspergillus fungi cyclode.  Aspergillus produces citric acid, therefore one aspect of the Pleo Citro correlation is the connection with the T.B./Aspergillus cyclode.  Also, Pleo Citro affects cellular respiration in a positive manner stimulating an anabolic state over that of

the catabolic tuberculinic condition presented.

Pleo Sanuvis 1 teaspoon BID (Sanuvis has been shown to stimulate mitochondrial

respiration and the removal of lactic acid.  In this catabolic condition of

pneumonia with likely decreased respiratory intake and perfusion of RBC’s, it is indicated to support the removal of lactic acid and stimulate the cellular respiration.

            Pleo Alkala 1/2 scoop in warm water between meals BID.  Alkala is beneficial to

offset the likely respiratory and metabolic acidosis from the decrease in

perfusion and as a general acid/alkaline regulation in GI support.

 

Recommended for her to start on Day 3

            Pleo Rec 3 drops topically applied to the inner bend of the elbow and 2 drops

topically applied to lower left lung area QD.  Pleo Rec is a

immunomodulating bacterial remedy.  I typically would use it at about 10 to 14 days into a therapy, but with an acute case, I brought it in earlier.  Pleo Rec has general indications for the mucous membranes of the body.

 

Biotics brand- GSH-Plus- 1 cap BID. Reduced Glutathione, N-Acetyl-Cysteine,

Glycine- general mucous membrane support and NAC has shown to help

break up mucous.

 

When I called the patient on day three she stated that she had only had mild relief.  I decided to increase the Pleo Rec to 5 gtt to the inner elbow and maintain the 2 drops to the lung area.  I was still concerned and wanted to be sure there was a positive reaction to the therapy as I was going out of town for over a week on the coming Tuesday.

 

On April 4^th, Friday, I asked the patient to return to the office for a follow-up visit.  The patient stated that on a scale of 1 – 10, 10 being the best, she was feeling a 6/10 on that day as compared to a 2/10 on the day she first saw me.

 

The patient’s vital signs and physical assessment were near the same as the first visit two days prior, although as she had stated, there was improvement in her overall affect.  I took this a positive sign, but obviously there was still improvement of the condition desired.

 

I prescribe the following remedies/treatments on this day:

            Pleo Thym, Pleo Cerivi and Pleo Reb sips: Administered that day and a second

dose for the next day.  Pleo Thym and Pleo Reb are glandular remedies.  Thym is

thymus gland, while Reb is glandular of aggregated lymphoid nodules of the small intestine. Cerivi is a botanical remedy made from Cetraria islandica.  It is indicated for: diseases of the respiratory system, sinusitis, laryngitis, bronchitis,

dry cough, lack of appetite.

            Pleo Ut “S”- immunomodulating bacterial remedy associated with the

tuberculinic condition with specificity to the lungs

Hydrotherapy: Alternating hot/cold footbath.  Hydrotherapy is a powerful

immune modulator.  In this application the idea is to not only stimulate the autonomic nervous system, but also to create a circulatory pumping action in the body.  This would promote elimination at the cellular level by decreasing stasis of circulation, which is prevalent when people are ill and immobile.  Also, Warming Socks Treatment.  This hydrotherapy technique has been shown to stimulate the immune system and improve sleep, and thus support the healing response of the parasympathetic nervous system.  One uses a pair of cotton socks, wets them thoroughly, wring them out and place in the refrigerator.  Just before bedtime, put on the socks and then place a pair of dry, wool socks over them.  The cold wet socks stimulate the autonomic nervous system with an association with the sacral plexus, which relays a response to the spinal cord.  There is an additional stimulus to the circulatory system to bring warm blood to the cold area of the body.  The wet socks will be dry by morning if there is a good response present.  If they are still damp, frequent use will sharpen the two regulatory responses previously described.

 

On Monday the patient returned to the office for a follow-up assessment.  The patient stated that she feels a 7/10 today.  On Saturday she had a hard time staying warm.  Still coughing up the green phlegm.  She said she has been doing very light exercise- walking, and during the day time, sitting in the hot car, heated by the sun.  The cough is no longer sporadic.  Lung sounds were clear.  The patient was instructed to stay with the protocol as improvement was obviously noted.  She was given a B12 injection IM as she stated that B12 had seemed to help her in the past.

On Tuesday I left for my trip out of state.  I called the patient on Wednesday evening.  She stated that she felt significantly better, the cough was gone and her energy was up.  She said for all practical purposes she felt fine considering what she felt like the previous week.  I called the patient a couple of days later and she stated that she still felt great!  She had just slight fatigue on occasion and rarely a mild cough.

 

Upon my return one week later, I made contact with the patient and found no further treatment was needed.  She had recovered completely and stated that she was back to her normal routine.

 

I found this to be a significant example of the power of the SANUM Remedies and basic nature cure, immune modulating processes.  Had she taken the antibiotics, she would have had a further disrupted GI tract, modulated microbes to become more pathogenic and likely promoted the cell-wall deficient forms or mycoplasma, and suppressed her natural immune response to the presenting condition. 

 

Understanding the various roles of the SANUM remedies in the treatment sequence is very beneficial for promoting down regulation of the offending microbes, a clearing of the milieu and modulation of the immune response.  I encourage all practitioners of the SANUM Remedies to seek understanding of the various categories of remedies and the individual indications of the remedies within each category.  This applies specifically to the Isopathic/homeopathic fungals and the immunomodulating bacterial remedies.

 

 

In respect to the influenza process that is being spread throughout the U.S., the greatest advantage one can have is to lead a healthy lifestyle.  This offers the year-round immune regulation for general optimal body performance.  However, even the healthy have their days, so there are a number of SANUM Remedies that may provide benefit if a virus sets up shop in your house.

 

Milieu Regulation

A healthy diet and lifestyle with nutritious, untainted food, pure water with trace minerals, moderate and proportionately vigorous exercise is paramount to optimal body function and milieu regulation.  Other factors that can contribute to stress and thus, tax our reserves should also be reviewed and evaluated.

 

Supportive SANUM Remedies include:

            Pleo Alkala, Pleo Citro and Pleo Sanuvis for the purposes mentioned in the

previous article.  Pleo Quent and Pleo Grif are the initial remedies to reach for if a

virus is suspected.  Grif is Grifola frondosa, a.k.a. Maitake mushroom, but prepared through a process similar as with the other Isopathic/homeopathic fungal remedies.  It is beneficial for general viruses, but also has shown effectiveness in treating Herpes.

 

Immune modulation would be very helpful of course, and may be supported through the use of Pleo Rec and Pleo Ut “S”, again as previously described.  But also Pleo Ut and Lat may be helpful.  Pleo Ut is a general overall immune modulator with respect to mild to moderate conditions of the tuberculinic miasm.  Pleo Lat is somewhat in the category of immune response of Pleo Ut “S”, however with its indications being the more severe, or chronic conditions of the tubercular miasm, whereas Pleo Ut ”S”, has specificity to the lungs. 

 

In many respects it may be advisable to alternate these four bacterial remedies weekly to modulate the immune system in a broad manner.  This may be accomplished through the use of a single dose of a single remedy 1X/week.  For example, one might take a single Pleo Rec capsule one week, the next week use a Pleo Ut capsule, followed by the third week with Pleo Lat and the fourth week being Pleo Ut “S”. 

 

Another method would be to use a proportionate amount of drops, depending upon the age, vital force, type of illness, chronicity, etc. on a daily basis and possibly alternating days or weeks.  For example, one might use Pleo Rec 4 – 5 drops topically applied to the inner bend of the elbow one day followed by Pleo Ut then next.  These remedies would then be used in this alternating manner for a specified duration.  I will often use the bacterials for immune modulation Monday through Friday, along with the Pleo Sancom, when I use the remedies in a sequential format over some weeks.

 

Another remedy that may be helpful is the Polysan “G”.  The “G” stands for Grippe, which is the term used from the middle of the last century and back for many years to describe the flu. It consists of: 1 ml Spengler colloid G 9X according to Dr. Carl Spengler, with antigens from Virus influenzae Spengler, Bacillus influenzae Pfeiffer, Bacterium pneumoniae as well as with the respective antitoxins from the blood of highly immunized rabbit.

 

The Polysans, based upon the work of the 19^th century physician Dr. Carl Spengler, are used topically to stimulate an immune response to the respective antigens in the homeopathic remedy.  They are what one might call a homeopathic vaccination of sorts, although clearly not like the modern in vivo vaccinations.  However, I would think the Polysan “G” in particular to be of possible benefit for general immune modulation to influenza.
