Aurum Metallicum (HMT)

characteristic of Aurum Metallicum is that the patient loses self-

The Aurum Metallicum patient is apparently calm, quiet, depressed

and withdrawn, but when provoked, may rather jump to kill somebody

syphilis baldness, the combination of Natrum Mur 200 and Bacilinium

200 has also been found to be e ffective. In the books, Aurum

Metallicum has also been quoted to be effective in baldness,

secondary to suppressed syphilis. To augment the useful affect of

In homoeopathic literature, Aurum ha s been mentioned in relation to

the treatment of suppressed syphilis. Recent studies of AIDS patients

in America have shown that severely sick patients of AIDS exhibited

symptoms of syphilis also. This is attributed to have been acquired

from their ancestors who had syphilis, were treated and apparently
