COMMENTS - Anshutz wrote “The following letter, by Dr.
J.
Herbert
Knapp to the Homeopathic Recorder, was publishedin 1896: ‘After treating many cases of exophthalmic goiter,
I have come to the conclusion that I have found a specific for that disease in Fucus vesiculosus, (sea-wrack).
I might record one case.
“ ‘Mrs.
Mary B., age 24 years, German, came into my clinic at the Brooklyn E.
D.
Homeopathic Dispensary to
be treated for swelling of the neck of several years duration.
I gave her the tincture of Fucus ves., thirty drops
three times a day.
The treatment began December 1, 1895 and patient was discharged cured, on October 2,
1896.
Would be pleased to hear from any others who have had any experience with Fucus vesiculosus.'
“So far as I now remember, this is the only hint I ever receive which led me to try in goiter.
At the same time, I
do not feel sure of this.
I had met in some medical journal
a statement respecting the relation of this drug to goiter, which fact led me to look it up in the ‘Eclectic
Dispensatory.' But if so, I cannot recall the authority.
“At all events, I was led to try the remedy in a pronounced case of goiter with such goods results that I have
never since given any other remedy for that disease either in the exophthalmic or in the uncomplicated form.
“What is more, I have never known it to fail to cure when the patient was under thirty years of age.
After that
time of life or about that period, it seems to be no longer efficacious.
“I have now used it on more than twenty - four cases with the same unvarying result and never with any other
result-that is, no unpleasant consequences have ever accompanied or followed its use.
“I published this fact in the medical investigator after I had used it in a few case and again announced it in the
Chicago Homeopathic Medical Society still later and again have frequently repeated it with growing confidence
and of greater numbers of cases in medical societies in colleges and in private conversation with physicians.
“And yet the fact is so utterly unknown that your journal published Dr.
Knapp’s inquiry respecting it, which
shows how easily a good thing may be forgotten.
Also how readily a genuine specific may be superseded by
a host of abortive procedures right under the eyes of the profession.
It is most probable that more real good
remedies have been forgotten or cast aside in medicine.
“Respecting this Fucus vesiculosus and its use in goiter, I would like to add a few words.
The drug is of variable
quality.
If one specimen fails to give satisfaction it ought to be discarded and another tried.
The pharmacist
must be importuned to make special efforts to give us an article that is not inert, but contains all the activity
that belongs to the drug.
“Time is required for effecting a cure.
This varies according to the age and size of the goiter.
Thre e months
may suffice for a small goiter of one year's growth.
Six months may be required for one twice as
large and of longer standing.
A year and a half is the longest period during which I have had to continue the
medicine.
But during all that time the goiter was manifestly diminishing.” Flatulency diminished and then
disappears.
