Kreosotum 446 is followed by vomiting. Hot food makes the patient feel better, while cold food aggravates the discomfort. The stomach feels tense and cold. Kreosotum is also of used in preventing against the tendency to develop cancer. It offers significant relief when given with Conium in the early stage of cancer of the stomach. Once the symptoms of Kreosotum become evident it must be started immediately, otherwise, once the cancer has set in, it is impossible to control it. Appropriate treatment can make the patient somewhat more comfortable but does not cure him of the cancer. It makes the life of the patient comfortable to the limit destined by God. Some physicians say that the proper treatment may add years to the patient’s life. We know that we cannot prolong anyone’s life. However, he may be permitted to live as much as possible, limited by the final time decreed by Allah, the Almighty. This is the gist of the philosophy of sickness and cure. Sickness shortens the life span of a person, while health prolongs it to the limit destined by God. The patient of Kreosotum also suffers from summer diarrhoea in severely hot weather. Similarly, Kreosotum has the capability to completely cure diabetes. Kreosotum is extremely useful in the treatment of teething problems in children , especially when the teeth become dark coloured or tend to decay and rot with the formation of cavities, and if the gums become black. Then Kreosotum proves curative. In Kreosotum, there is a deposit of white crust over the tongue. The lips are red and tend to bleed. The taste is bitter. The symptoms become aggravated in the open air, cold weather, from drinking cold water or on taking a shower or by lying down, while heat commonly relieves the symptoms, except for the diarrhoea caused by extremely hot weather.
