Kali Phos. 432 Tox, there is a tingling and numbness of the hands and feet as well as the flaccidity of the muscles. All kinds of body excretions have a foul odour in Kali Phos. In Rhus Tox, however, there is no such foul odour. Rhus glaba and foul odour are very deeply related. Many antipsoric medicines are used for treating the foul smelling secretions of the armpits (due to the infected sebaceous glands in the axilla). But Rhus Glabra in potency 3X or 6X and Kali Phos in 6X are extremely effective when given together. Kali Phos is also deeply related to foul smell. Kali Phos is also very useful in the treatment of gangrene. In the allopathic system, the treatment of infected indolent ulcers that become necrotic and gangrenous is amputation. But amputation is usually performed through a healthy area of good circulation, well above the gangrenous area. In many such patients, I have successfully obviated the need for amputation with the use of Kali Phos and Silicea. Allah, the Almighty has created a very elaborate immune system in our body against diseases. The cure is not obtainable without these antibodies. When a disease has knocked down the body defence to the extent that it cannot react any more, any amount of antibiotics given will be ineffective because body can no longer react. Similarly, in the case of gangrene, the immune system of the body is completely damaged. Kali Phos revives the immune system and empowers the tissues to defend. Consequently, the body starts defending itself against the gangrenous process. Silicea also works well once the tissues become strong again. Kali Phos is also useful in the treatment of inflamed lymph glands. Sometimes the glands become inflamed on both sides of the neck. This also happens in the case of tuberculosis and cancer. In these patients, Silicea alone can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, many other medicines are given before or along with Silicea. One of them is definitely Kali Phos. Kali Phos streamlines the reaction of the body towards Silicea. In my opinion, this method is very effective. It is also possible to give Kali Phos before Silicea and prepare the patient for proper reaction. In this situation, it is better to give Kali Phos 1000 and wait for a few days. Sometimes this alone produces miraculous results, and a single dose starts decreasing the size of the lymph nodes. At this time, we do not even need to give Silicea.
