Silicea 630 body is very intricate and individually designed to combat hundreds of thousands of illnesses. The system is like a great powerful factory beyond the comprehension of not only ordinary people but also the expert scientists. Silicea, despite appearing wideranging and powerful, has yet to overwhelm the natural defence system or even match it. Generally speaking, Silicea is very effective against contagious disease, boils and abscesses. Similarly, it provokes a surprisingly strong reaction against inanimate foreign objects entering the body. For example, Silicea is extremely effective in the expulsion of a retained nail, fishbone or shotgun pellets in the body. Here, it works in two ways. When given in low potency, it gradually increases the local blood flow, kills the germs and produces pus. The process of healing of the boils and abscesses , which normally takes seven to ten days to get ready to burst open, may be completed in two to three days. Moreover, the pain is relatively less and much less pus is formed. The hole through which the pus exudes is also small and insignificant. On the same lines, Silicea helps the expulsion of a needle, piece of metal or stone retained in the body. The process is very intricate and yet to be understood but the practical examples are so obviously true. Once, an eminent surgeon told me that one of his patients had swallowed a needle, which became stuck in his intestines. Obviously, it was dangerous to remove it surgically. The surgeon had heard about the efficacy of Silicea and decided to use it. After a while, the needle showed up on the surface of the skin, without injuring the internal organs. The path adopted by the needle was the shortest towards the skin surface. There was no damage inflicted to the linings of the intestines, or the fat inside the abdomen. The method by which Silicea performs this harmless function cannot be conjectured by human intellect and imagination, but the observation is too weighty and hard to be denied. Once when I was in Rabwah, a large irregular piece of glass got stuck in the foot of a child, deep to the bone. The foot became extremely swollen and the doctor refused to remove it surgically. The child was treated with Silicea 6X for a month. At first, the swelling started getting less and then the large piece of glass started to gradually emerge from the skin. It was then safely removed with forceps. Due to the use of contaminated water in Africa and Sindh province of Pakistan, quite commonly a worm enters the body , which can be
