Lac Defloratum (HMT)

Lac Defloratum is said to have be en prepared from skimmed milk. I

do not agree with this statement. I be lieve that the milk will still have

some fat particles in spite of being apparently skimmed. The milk

definitely becomes dilute after the removal of fat, but, a little bit of fat

must remain. Based on the homoeopa thic view, if the medicine is

prepared from ordinary milk, it should have the same features as that

prepared from skimmed milk because of the residual amount of fat in

it.

Lac Defloratum is very us eful in children who are allergic to milk .

often, one dose of Lac Defloratum CM may prove effective, so much

so that they will not get the allergy again. Sometimes, the allergy may

partially remain, or it may not re spond to the treatment after some

time.

continuous treatment for every patient. A suitable homoeopathic

treatment can cure the diabetes comp letely, but in some patients the

treatment may have to be continued. Some symptoms of diabetes may

be present in a patient of Lac De floratum even if he is not an

established diabetic i.e. the frequent passage of thick urine and intense

thirst.

two such doses, one after the other, do not benefit, it should be

abandoned. If it is going to be effective, it is effective immediately, or

not at all. When the first dos e has offered some relief but the

symptoms have recurred, a second dose may be tried but no more.

The symptom complex of Lac Defloratum also includes the

aftereffects of malaria, such as lack of blood (anaemia), swelling

Defloratum will most probably be f ound more useful in the treatment

of all these diseases as well.

I have no personal experience of using Lac Defloratum for the

treatment should be started in low potencies. If the patient starts

way to die without much trouble. Pe rhaps the poet Ghalib was also of

Lac Defloratum disposition. He said: “I wish somebody would sing to

me in such a beautiful and enchanting way, with the voice having the

speed and radiance of lightning so that I may die without any

discomfort”. What a lovely death! Alas, he did not get such a singer

to solve his problem.

His dizziness is like that of Conium. In Conium, the patient feels

him. In Lac Defloratum too, the si tuation is somewhat similar, while

the entire world swinging around him. He finds himself in a

fantasyland. Similarily a patient of Cannabis has his own imaginary

world, in which he feels like he is flying or floating in the air. Its

prominent sign is that perception of the passage of time is affected.

Sometimes the passage of time seems to flow rapidly, while in the

strange situation in Lac Defloratum time is prolonged with the feeling

of a Lac Defloratum patient is not focused on something in particular

but goes astray. He trusts nothing.
