Arnica, which may be found anywhere in Switzerland up to a height of about 2800 m (8,500 feet), has been recognised as an aid to healing wounds for thousands of years and is acclaimed as such in the oldest herbal records. Contusions with extravasation of the blood into the adjoining tissues are also cured by means of an extract from the root. Arnica will encourage proper capillary circulation, which makes it an important ingredient that enhances the effectiveness of the other plant remedies.

Besides these six ingredients making up Symphosan, there is yet one more. It is houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum), a plant that used to be found growing on the roofs of old houses in Switzerland, especially on thatched ones. It may not have been a good thing for the roofs, but the householders certainly knew how to take advantage of the fresh plant to treat inflamed eyes, burns, scalds, ulcers or sores and wounds, for which it is a cooling and healing medicine.

All these outstanding herbs are combined to make Symphosan a truly remarkable remedy that should be kept in every medicine chest and rucksack.

To establish the effects of a natural plant medicine one must first of all be capable of observing accurately and interpreting correctly. In every age there have been people endowed with intuitive insight which enabled them, by personal experience and observation of others, to determine what plants are most suitable for curing a given condition or illness.

The effect of various substances on the human organism can be observed with greater accuracy after two or three days of fasting. Needless to say, one would only experiment with plants and substances known to be nonpoisonous. After taking one plant or another, it is possible to judge the relative merits – how it affects the bowels, the kidney, the stomach or the appetite, or whether it stimulates the functions of the body in some other way. If the body is in good condition, certain important effects can be easily perceived. In homoeopathy this is the so-called ‘proving’ of remedies on healthy people.

With regular exposure to sunlight, the way we look and feel will both improve, giving us a better physical appearance than we had before. It has been found that exposing the skin to sunlight increases, in a manner of speaking, the voltage of the nerve system so that the whole body will experience greater vitality. The skin is like an antenna that absorbs and emits rays. For this reason some people appear to refresh us and others sap our strength; when in the presence of the latter if feels as if all our energy were being drained, tiring us very quickly.

It is interesting to note that sunlight on the skin also heightens the efficiency of our sensory organs. We are able to hear and see better when we let the sun recharge us.

The syndrome observed in the patient matched the symptoms attributed to the cytomegalovirus. However, as I wanted to be absolutely certain I sent the lady to a hospital where the laboratory was headed by a virologist I knew personally. I explained to him that I suspected the cause of her problem to be the cytomegalovirus. He did not think so, however, especially as the symptoms were not so obvious to him that he could confirm my opinion there and then. Nevertheless, he agreed to do a blood test. To his great astonishment what I had suspected proved to be true.

I then asked him what he would recommend to help the patient, and he suggested building up and improving her general condition of health since there was no specific remedy to combat the virus.

Comfrey {Symphytum officinale) is a fine pain-reliever in cases of cancer of the stomach and intestines. For this reason it is usually prescribed for diseases of these organs.

In more recent times research has shown that lactic acid is also beneficial in caring for cancer patients and should be considered for this purpose. Molkosan, sauerkraut juice and vegetable juices taken alternately will improve the patient’s condition and quench his thirst, however great it may be.

The cell’s metabolism is yet another miracle at work, one whose workings scientists rack their brains to puzzle out. Although we do have some knowledge of the internal processes, this represents only a fraction of what actually goes on in the cell. We know, for example, that the cell takes in proteins, sugar and salt solutions together with various minerals and that it releases some substances, in a sense, waste material. But why is it that one kind of cell selects this or that substance for itself, while another kind attracts different substances? In other words, what enables the cells to make this selection? No one has yet been able to discover the answer to this question.
