A Pharmacy Review on Source and Preparation of Sarcodes and Imponderabilia

A Pharmacy Review on Source and Preparation of Sarcodes and Imponderabilia

“Sarcodes contain the information of the biological structure of an organ. By resonating the organ structure energetically, like plucking a string or ringing a crystal chime, the organ’s natural healing energy is stimulated; this not only supports optimal organ function, but also tends to throw off toxins (namely inorganic heavy metals) at the same time.” 

– David Lowenfeld

Sarcodes are preparations from physiological, healthy tissues and secretions. They may be considered to belong to the animal kingdom. They belong to the branch of homeopathy called ORGANOPATHY – developed in France, used for generations and even the highly esteemed C. Hering advocated their use as early as 1834. 

Most sarcodes have not been proved and are prescribed clinically rather than homeopathically, but there are some exceptions.

Homeopathically, these remedies restore targeted glands or organs by producing the healthy template of the tissue from which the body can be rebuilt, restored, and restimulated. 

Michel M. Bouke Levy stated, “Healthy organ extracts or organ secretions prepared according to the general rules of homeopathic remedies, which will help to slow down the natural and pathological deterioration of the organ.” 

Source: 

  1. Healthy Endocrine gland as a whole
  2. Healthy secretions of endocrine glands
  3. Normal secretions of animals or humans
  4. Products of animal glands and tissues (except secretions from poisonous animals and venoms)
  5. Healthy organs of animals

Collection:

  1. The animal must be perfectly healthy.
  2. The animals should be kept under observation on a restricted diet before the drug substance is collected from them. 
  3. The product or parts that are to be used must be treated first. 
  4. The products and parts should be collected from standard serological laboratories who deal with the manufacturing of culture of organisms.
  5. The ‘endocrine’ products and few ‘enzymes’ may be collected from cattle, sheep, etc. from the slaughterhouse. 

Preparation: 

Decimal Scale 

Fresh source material is coarsely ground. 1 part of it is combined with 9 parts of glycerin (85%) and homogeneously dispersed and sucssed with ten equal and uniform downward strokes to produce 1X potency. It may be filtered if necessary. 

1 part of 1X and 9 parts of glycerin (85%) with ten strokes, gives 2X potency and so on.

Centesimal Scale

Fresh source material is coarsely ground. 1 part of it is combined with 99 parts of glycerin (85%) and homogeneously dispersed and sucssed with ten equal and uniform downward strokes to produce 1C potency. It may be filtered if necessary. 

1 part of 1C and 99 parts of glycerin (85%) with ten strokes, gives 2C potency and so on.

IMPONDERABILIA 

Imponderabilia are immaterial ‘dynamic’ energies that are utilized as potentized homeopathic medicines. These energies have been tapped into potential homeopathic medicines for the cure of the sick and is unique to homeopathic pharmacy. 

Samuel Hahnemann (§286, 6th edition, Organon of Medicine); “The dynamic force of mineral magnets, electricity, and galvanism act no less powerfully upon our life principal and they are not less homeopathic than the properly so-called medicines which neutralize disease by taking them through the mouth, or by rubbing them on the skin or by olfaction. There may be diseases, especially disease of sensibility, and irritability, abnormal sensations and involuntary muscular movements which may be cured by those means. But the more certain way of applying the last two as well as that of the so-called electro-magnetic machine lies very much in the dark to make homeopathic use of them. So far both electricity and galvanism have been used only for palliation to the great damage of the sick. The positive, pure action of both upon the healthy human body have until the present time been but little tested.”

Collection:

  1. Respective magnets can be had from some physical laboratory. 
  2. In case of ‘Luna’, full moon is suggested to be considered. 
  3. For X-ray, respective chemical testing laboratory may be considered. 
  4. Potentization of imponderabilia should be done carefully.
  5. Preparation:
  6. Luna: Moon’s Rays
  7. Sugar of milk is exposed on a glass plate to the full moon’s rays and stirred with a glass rod meanwhile. The sugar of milk so charged is then dynamized. Higgins made a preparation by exposing pure water to the moon’s rays for three or four hours in South America and then dynamizing the water so charged.

  26. distilled water similarly be exposed. 
  • Magnetis Polus Articus: North pole of the magnet

Attenuations of saccharum lactis or water charged with the influence of this pole.

  • Magnetis Polus Australis: South pole of the magnet

Attenuations of saccharum lactis or water charged with the influence of this pole.

  • X-ray: Xray radiation

A drachm vial filled with absolute alcohol was exposed to a Crook’s tube in operation for half an hour, 

and then brought up to the sixth centesimal potency. Fincke used it in potency as “Absolute alcohol in a 

the flint glass bottle is irradiated by the Meyer Vitz coil.” Giggs used it as “Absolute alcohol contained in 

a shallow dish and exposed directly to X-radiations.”

  • Mobile Phone Radiation: Radiation from Eriksson GH337 with server Cellnet call exposure 5 mins and Nokia 5.1 with server Orange call duration 2 hr. 16 min.

Equal quantities of the two exposed lactose powders were then mixed and triturated to a 3c in 

according to footnotes to paragraph 270 of the 6th edition of the Organon. Potentization in liquid 

form was continued up to a 30c. 

  • TV Radiation: Radiation from Sony Trinitron manufactured in 1985

Sac Lac was placed in a porcelain bowl two feet away from a television that was left on for 48 hours, on 

a stool at the level of the TV picture. 

  • Radium Bromatum: Radium Bromide

Commercial grade Radioactive Radium Bromide. 100 gm of Radium Bromide triturated with 900 gm of 

Sac Lac to make 1000 gm of the trituration. 2x and higher to be triturated; and 6x may be converted into 

liquid 8x. Poison! Not to be dispensed below 6x.


Positronium: Anti Matter – Prepared using positrons from a Na-22 source, which were passed through a nitrogen gas cell to form positronium by capturing electrons off the nitrogen atoms. The resulting positronium beam then impinged on a metal surface, where the positronium atoms decayed, giving off the characteristic 511 keV radiation. A glass vial filled with 96% ethanol was exposed to this radiation for 24 hours and then potentized to 30C by the Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy. The strength of the positronium beam was approximately 10 million positronium atoms per second. A total of approximately 10^9 annihilation events were captured by the glass vial.

  • Spectrum: 

A transmitter quartz was used to shine a complete spectrum on a bottle of medicating alcohol. This was 

then made up into potentized remedies at the Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy.

  • Vacuum:

Proving conducted by Nuala Eising.
