The inflammations cantharis produces (bladder, kidneys, ovaries, meninges, pleuritic and pericardial membranes)are usually associated with bladder irritation.

Mind.--Furious delirium. Anxious restlessness, ending in rage. Crying, barking; worse touching larynx or drinking water. Constantly attempts to do something, but accomplishes nothing.

Head.--Burning in brain. Sensation as if boiling water in brain. Vertigo; worse in open air.

Eyes.--Yellow vision (Santon). Fiery, sparkling, staring look. Burning in eyes.

Modalities.--Worse, from touch, or approach, urinating, drinking cold water or coffee. Better, rubbing.

Relationship.--Antidotes: Acon; Camph; Puls.

Compare: Cantharidin--(Glomerular nephritis). The immediate pharmacological action of Cantharidin is irritability of the capillaries, rendering the passage of nutritive fluids through them less difficult.

Answer 2

"the water in homeopathic remedies is "different" from the water you get out of the sink. When the homeopathic process is done to it, the structure of the water changes, which allows it can affect the body"-Alex F what about all the other substances that it touches. Why is not affected by other homeopathic remedies that it's touched before. WATER is NOT intelligent. ADDED Oh and by the way soul"doctor" (ha) Great anecdote. Thanks for that. perhaps you should perform a clinical story trail with double blinded stories. Stories are all you have. For every person that gets a good result how many people get no result. That's kinda what a trial is. If it doesn't work for you your less likely to rave on about it. The good results are coincidences and false correlations. They would have happened anyway. If homeopathy didn't know this it would perform large double-blinded clinical trials and prove it once and for all. But the they know it's all crap so they make excuses. There is no excuse. a large blinded clinical trial that was then independantly repeated would prove it one way or the other. It would show if it did anything at all.
