Medorrhinum 491 MEDORRHINUM Medorrhinum is prepared from the toxic substances of Gonorrhoea. It has proved to be very useful in the treatment of inherited Gonorrhoeal diseases. The role of Syphilinum in the treatment of hereditary Syphilis is similar to that of Medorrhinum in hereditary Gonorrhoea. If these remedies are not used, then these diseases become a permanent part of the person’s life, flaring up every now and then and become difficult to get rid off. Some eminent doctors are of the opinion that syphilis and gonorrhoea have been present in human society since ancient times and their toxins have been passed on from generation to generation. The sufferer does not have to contract the disease personally. His/her symptoms of syphilis and gonorrhoea may very well be hereditary in nature. Previously, the treatment of syphilis was considered to be very difficult. It consisted of mercury compounds. Nowadays, penicillin given continuously for a month is considered to offer a complete cure. According to , syphilis is incurable. It simply disguises itself in different forms. It becomes dormant, only to reappear when the conditions become favourable. Modern research in allopathy is also supportive of this homoeopathic view. During research on AIDS in America, it came to be known that many AIDS patients suddenly showed signs of syphilis, although previously they had no trace of it. On retracing their family history, it was observed without a shadow of doubt, that the ancestors of at least some of them suffered from syphilis, which was treated with Mercury compounds. However the Syphilis was only suppressed and persisted in dormant form. Similar is the case with gonorrhoea. This also gets passed on from generation to generation. Unless completely uprooted, the treatment of gonorrhoea and resultant diseases would only prove superficial. The diseases of the reproductive organs in men as well as in women , due to the result of gonorrhoea having been suppressed, may present in two different forms i. e. over-excitement or total palliation. There may be complete loss of libido. In short, the sexual behaviour of the patient is extreme, either one way or the other, but nothing in between. Medorrhinum is considered to be the most highly valued treatment of suppressed gonorrhoea (latent gonorrhoea). In fact, most of the doctors advise using it first and foremost. Medorrhinum in high potency will surface the symptoms of latent gonorrhoea, which can
