SCIRRHINUM
IDEA: Cancer nosode from Scirrhus Ca
Scirrhinum is a homeopathic sub-remedy of Carcinosinum, used for treating cancer, enlarged
glands, hemorrhages, varicose veins and worms.
Breast, cancer. M. Hodgkin etc.
Cancer diathesis: “There is no cancer case where Carcinosinum is not of advantage
sooner or later,” R.M. Cooper
Scirrhinum is typically given in 200c dosage that is "plussed," which means shaken and
dissolved in water, alcohol or another liquid. Potency, or the strength of the dosage, is
determined by how much it was diluted and plussed.
Plussing Method
The Plussing Method consists of diluting three pellets or globules of the remedy in eleven
teaspoons of spring water. The patient sips one teaspoon every fifteen minutes. Between
each dose, the water is gently stirred or, if in a bottle, shaken once. The patient takes ten
teaspoonfuls over the course of approximately two and a half hours and reserves the last
teaspoon for the next day.
The next day ten teaspoons of fresh water are added to the original mixture (but not any
fresh medicine) and the process is repeated. The procedure continues for seven days –
after which the remedy is changed and the same procedure is repeated with the new
medicine. In weeks 3 and 4 (and every subsequent week), the patient starts with a
mixture of fresh water and fresh medicine.
HISTORY - Burnett is the authority for this nosode. He proved it on himself and produced “a
tremendous sinking at the navel,” which he regarded as a keynote for its use. Scirrh. has aided
the cure of many cases of breast tumor in Burnett’s hands.
With Scirrhinum, Burnett cured a man of hard glands which appeared on the left side of the
neck after other glands had been removed by the patient’s brother, a surgeon. Hemorrhages
and varicose veins of legs and feet with purple points, have also been cured by Burnett with
Scirrh.
COMMENTS - A patient to whom Burnett had given Scirrh. mentioned to him that it had
caused the passage of an enormous number of thread worms. On this hint Burnett gave it with
great success in many cases of this troublesome complaint. In inveterate cases where Cina and
Teucr. have given little relief, Scirrh. has wrought a great change for the better.
