Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Tonsilla compositum, therapeutic possibilities result for increasing the bodily defences in exudative diathesis dysontogenesis in lymphatic children, dystrophia, adiposogenitalis, post-encephalitic residues, erythema nodosum et multiforme, toxic exanthema, elephantiasis, empyema, and also in therapeutical damage of various kinds such as granulopenia, agranulocytosis and leukaemia (in this case daily at first), further, for induratio penis plastica, sclerodermia, chronic gout and primary chronic polyarthritis as auxiliary remedy, as well as in the early stage of neoplasm phases, due to its effect in activating the connective tissue. Tonsilla compositum shows clearly a combined action on various systems of organs participating in the defence against homotoxins and the damage caused by them, when not only organ and tissue extracts but also nosodes, hormones, intermediary factors and homeotherapeutic agents directed specifically towards regressive vicariation and against enzyme damage, bring about an overall action aimed at a powerful rise in the bodily defences in the widest variety of pathological conditions; in fact, not only in exudative diathesis and dysontogenesis in Iymphatic children but also in toxic effects and the widest variety of therapeutical damage. In these cases the intermediate prescription is also recommended of preparations by means of which enzyme functions are again regulated, e.g. Coenzyme compositum ampoules and Ubichinon compositum ampoules; in serious cases of viral damage or danger from neoplasm also Glyoxal compositum, as auxiliary remedy also Thyreoidea compositum; for inflammation flaring up repeatedly but which does not lead to the dissolution of the retoxic phase, also Traumeel S, Engystol N and, in particular, Echinacea compositum (forte) S.
In such cases especially the alternating prescription or injection of the above-mentioned preparations is to be recommended, with the corresponding intermediate prescription of the oral therapeutic agents otherwise indicated, such as Lymphomyosot, Psorinoheel, Galium-Heel, Schwef-Heel, etc.
If intermediary homotoxins, due to enzyme blockages (therapeutical damage) (of retoxic causation) occur in profusion, this results from the appearance of cellular phases, in mild cases at first of impregnation phases; in serious cases, noticeable through symptoms of degeneration and possibly neoplasm phases. In these cases it is essential to recommend, in addition to Tonsilla compositum ampoules, possibly as early as on the following day, Coenzyme compositum ampoules, and then possibly Thyreoidea compsitum, followed (after one to two days) by Ubichinon compositum ampoules, in order, through the restimulation of blocked enzyme systems, first to achieve the basic conditions for detoxication of the homotoxins.
The action of Tonsilla compositum ampoules should have subsided before a new injection takes place, especially after other preparations indicated, as mentioned above, have been interposed, when also Hepeel, Traumeel S, Engystol N, Psorinoheel, Lymphomyosot, Nux vomica-Homaccord, Zeel, etc. can be considered, according to the syndrome in question. In addition, very good possibilities for combination are offered with suitable, pathogenetically indicated nosodes (Tuberculinum-Injeel, Bacillinum-Injeel. etc.).
Preparations which provide powerful stimulation in general to the defensive system are, in addition to other antihomotoxic agents which all act on the main defence system, in particular the following: Engystol N (especially also in viral diseases), Echinacea compositum (forte) S (generally and in neoplasia), Pulsatilla compositum (activator of the connective tissue), Galium-Heel (stimulation of the connective tissue function), Thyreoidea compositum (stimulates the basal metabolism), Traumeel S (reticulo-endothelium, total defensive system), Gripp-Heel (general prophylaxis in infections).
The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the clinical picture and the stage of the illness: at first 1 ampoule i.m., s.c. (possibly with the patient's own blood), i.d., possibly i.v. 2-3 times weekly. After the disorders have abated, for constitutional treatment, 1 ampoule once to twice weekly, possibly alternating with other suitable preparations (Lymphomyosot, Engystol N, Galium-Heel, Traumeel S, etc.). With this preparation, which contains vitamins, a fleeting, burning pain may occur upon the i.d. and s.c. injections.
