Baryta Carb 113 Dr. Kent has written in his book that Baryta Carb is effective in fatty lumps, tumours and enlarged glands, Lupus and tuberculous abscesses. I personally have no such experience. I have used Baryta Carb in patients who had ugly bumps and lumps on their body to no avail, maybe their lumps were not of fatty nature. Baryta Carb does, however, specifically cure the tumours of fatty origin. I have also found Baryta Carb ineffective in the treatment of Lupus. Dr. Kent is of the opinion that when indicated, Baryta Carb must be used in all potencies. Some deep-seated illnesses do not respond to low potencies. Therefore, Baryta Carb must be used in increasing potencies of 1000, 10,000, 50,000 and CM with suitable intervals. When Baryta Carb is found effective at the outset of the illness, it may well cure the condition for good. The Baryta Carb patient has a constant fear of unknown dangers. On that basis, Baryta Carb is specifically helpful in alleviating certain kinds of hallucinations and delusions. Some patients feel as if their brain is also vibrating along with the movement of their head. This is a typical symptom of Baryta Carb. Epilepsy resulting from temporary blockage of circulation to the brain, as happens in Meningitis, can be cured by prolonged, regular use of Baryta Carb. In case of bleeding, which is red in colour (from ruptured arteries), Baryta Carb may be used besides Phosphorus. In certain eye ailments particular to Baryta Carb, the eyelids become swollen and stay swollen due to the retention of their internal secretions. The same kind of obstinate swelling also affects the lymph glands of the upper part of the neck i. e. they do not diminish in size. Baryta Carb is also a treatment for falling hair, as well as the the dryness and baldness of the scalp. Dryness of the skin and eczema is also found in other drugs. In Baryta Carb, the weakness of the hair may possibly be due to the accumulation of waste materials in the hair follicles (causing weakness of the hair). Baryta Carb is also useful in correcting failing eyesight. The long-term, regular use of Baryta Carb is not only safe but in fact may improve the eyesight of advancing age. Sometimes, the eyesight becomes weak due to high cholesterol in the blood (causing arteriosclerosis of the artery to the eye). Combined use of Cholestrinum 30, Phytolacca 30 and Phosphorus 30 will benefit this condition. Phosphorus 30, however, should not be used continuously
