Case (own observation): Tongue-pain of a 67 year old lady. Sudden burning and sore pain on left part of
the tongue. White-greyish, scalded membrane with marked edges of bean size. The membrane
disappeared later that day leaving a raw, red area of same size without epithelium. The patient
remembered the pain first time after eating a special brand of oranges. Oleander D4 every time when pain
re-started brought instant relief and healing. For some time she complained about a painful, scaling off
eczema same size in the middle of her scalp. Her records showed sporadic idiopathic tachycardia (130)
with high blood pressure crises (180/100).
