NOSOS = DISEASE (pathos=suffering)
First nosode used by Hahnemann : Psorinum, but
not for scabies. It was proven as a general remedy.
Nosodes have been called “oral vaccines”. Hering
introduced Lyssin in 1833, long before Pasteur’s
work on rabies.
Influenzinum a big help in treating the 1919 flu
pandemic.
My interest in nosodes
• Prof Francisco
Eizayaga
• 1928 - 2001
Dr F.Eizayaga
► Prof
of homeopathic medicine at the
University of Buenos Aires. Full time
homeopathic practice from 1952. Taught all
over the world. Came to England to lecture
in 1984. The Midlands Branch has a copy of
the tapes. Particularly interested in
homeopathic treatment of epidemics.
(meningitis)
Eizayaga said
► Likelihood
of getting a good prescribing
match ie a constitutional remedy (especially
in a G.P.setting) is low.
► To
improve the outcome possibilities add in
a nosode.
► The
remedy and nosode seem to work on
different parts of the immune system.
NOSODE
• Medicine derived from pathological
material. May be of plant, animal or human
origin. Includes micro-organisms, diseased

causative agent of the disease itself, or
from a product of the disease process, to
