Kalium bromatum — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
Bromide of potassium “Bromides ”—practically always “ Pot. brom.”, that powerful inhibiter, that grand suppresser, in almost universal use for the treatment of epilepsy, sleeplessness, " nerves “, and yet which, as commonly administered, has never cured the chronic conditions for which it is prescribed, and never can. How do we know this ? Simply by the fact that the dose has to be always increased, as through the months or years the patient gradually asserts himself, and gets the better of the drug. You see there are two ways of prescribing. You may give a drug in order to do something to a patient, to “ depress his nervous system and more or less paralyse the higher functions of his brain “ ; but this does not recommend itself as an ideal form of treatment to the homoeopath, whose concern is, always, the vital stimulation of the patient, according to definite laws. whereby he is roused to cure himself. Drugs do not cure, popular opinion notwithstanding. Cure must come from within ; or there is no cure. We will detail, presently, the joys, mental and physical, of the condition termed Bromism, from the pen of one of the best known teachers of Old School medicine in his textbook for the use of students. No wonder that one of them, years ago, preparing for her “ finals “ exclaimed, “ Medicine is all pop. I shall never give medicine to my patients ! ” We will also give extracts from the poisoning of men and animals by Potassium bromide ; our authority being the Cyclofcedia of Drug Pathogenesy. We will also see how Homoeopathy applies the drug, in non-poisonous but gently stimulating doses, to elevate and rouse latent qualities, inhibited by disease, and to relieve the sufferings of those whose health, or rather ill-health-picture resembles, but is not caused by.
