Homeopathic Arsen Alb and Arnica to the rescue.
Who says homeopathic remedies are simply placebos? ‘Nothing in them except water and a bit of alcohol’ say some advocates for the drug copanies’ pharmaceuticals.
Recently, a friend came to me with his pet rat called ‘Monty’. Monty could barely breathe. His chest was making an awful rattling sound. His poor wee mouth struggled to open wide with every breath in an effort to find enough air. He was obviously suffering from a bad dose of pneumonia.
The vet could not see him for a couple of days, by which time we guessed he would be dead unless we could fix the pneumonia.
There was another problem: Poor Monty is getting near the end of his years and he now has what looks to be a large cyst or cancerous growth underneath his arm-pit. Considering his age, the vet had previously thought it would not be beneficial to operate. It was decided to let him live a while longer, without operating, since the cancer did not seem to be bothering him at all.
We wondered if the pneumonia was a result of the cancer getting close to his lungs. Perhaps this time the vet might put Monty down next visit.
Anyhow – I got out the Arsen Alb homeopathic liquid. It probably would not cure the cancer, but quite likely it would fix the pneumonia.
Arsen Alb is a fantastic remedy for preventing and curing flu in people, or animals, especially when there is a cough with it. Often it will fix a cough that lasts long after a person has had the flu. It is a marvellous remedy for all kinds of coughs and, like Aconite, is a good remedy to start with if you are unsure about what remedy to use.
So Monty was about to have his very first dose of homeopathy. I reckon he was lucky I had Arsen Alb on hand.
Since I had run out of the straight homeopathic Arsen Alb, I used a combination which has Cantharis and Antimon Crud added to it. I felt that the Arsen Alb remedy would do its work regardless of the added remedies. As it happened, the Cantharis was useful for treating Monty’s bladder, which was showing signs of weakening under the stress of the pneumonia.
That evening, I gave him several drops of the Arsen Alb combination in one dose, sprinkling the remedy around his mouth and nose. Around an hour later, I repeated the dose.
With the second dose of Arsen Alb I also gave Monty some Arnica/Symphytum drops. Just a couple or three drops, again smeared around his mouth and nose.
The Arnica/Symphytum was given mainly to alleviate his stress, although these remedies are often useful also in treating congestion of the lungs.
By morning, Monty was very much improved. Nearly better. The rattling had gone from his chest, and he was not gaping his mouth wide to breathe as he had been doing the night before. He was eating and drinking again, which is always a healthy sign with a sick person or animal. My friend was very very happy to see Monty’s improvement, and grateful for the treatment I had given.
We gave him another dose of Arsen Alb. Then a few hours later, just the Arnica remedy. Then, at night time, some more Arsen Alb, followed by a sprinkling of Arnica again.
The next morning, the day which Monty was booked into the vet’s, he was almost completely recovered.
He was mobile again, and was looking extremely alert and pretty pleased with himself. My friend decided to keep the appointment with the vet anyway, and took him along for a check-up.
Guess what? The vet promptly gave Monty an antibiotic, ‘just in case’, charged my friend $40, and sent them both home after about 10 minutes’ consultation.
I told my friend, who had never used a homeopathic remedy before, that the antibiotic would not have been necessary, as homeopathy had been effective in curing Monty’s pneumonia.
If the correct homeopathic remedy, or remedies, are used, then recovery from infection can be expected within a short time.
The main thing is that one way or another, Monty recovered from the pneumonia. And all due to our homeopathic first aid, in the absence of a ready antibiotic.
He is tearing around the house now, playing with his replacement rat, who is a couple of years younger, happy as a sand-boy for the mean-time.
My new book is out on Amazon. Price is $4.93.
I would love to know more on the treatment given above. I have a very sick little guy. Vet gave him abuterol and another sulfa based drug and said keep him comfortable until he dies. He has had this condition for about 2weeks now we r hand feeding him. They said no cure for it please help. I would like to know doses and where to purchase. Thank you
Hi Bill,
Does your pet have pneumonia, or some lung affliction?
This is what my friend’s rat had, which I was able to cure.
But the poor rat also has a large tumour which we have not attempted to cure. This is because the rat is around 3 years old, near the end of its life-time. Also, because cancer takes a while to develop, it can take quite a while to heal. So I have not attempted to persuade my friend to change the rat’s diet in any way, or to take homeopathy and vitamins on a regular basis.
For the severe case of pneumonia, I used Arsen. alb, a homeopathic remedy, as well as Arnica/Symphytum. Both these remedies were 30c strength, meaning they had been diluted from the original tincture 30 times.
I alternated the homeopathic remedies, as indicated in my post.
The cure was speedy. By morning, after several doses of each remedy, the rats pneumonia had disappeared.
In New Zealand, you can buy Arsen alb and Arnica homeopathic remedies in most health-food shops.
Alternatively, you can order these remedies through a Weleda outlet. Look up Weleda on-line.
I prefer to buy Weleda, as these people have long-standing experience in using the remedies, and in growing organic herbs and plants for the purpose of making best-quality homeopathic remedies.
Kind Regards,

Hello merrilyn. As of my last comment above that partucular pet had passed by the time you responded. I do have another ine with the same condition though. I treated him for 3 days and stopped he was getting much better eating and such very well. I stopped because im not sure how many doses and how long one can give this med without doing harm? Since I have stopped he is reverting back to being ill again. I can only seem to find tablets no liquid. The tabs are 30c and I dislove in a tiny bit of water and give like that. Your thoughts plz. Thank you so much
Hello Bill,
You can keep up the homeopathic treatment for as long as is needed. If your pet is still sick, and he or she improves with the homeopathy, keep using it until they are better.
It is important to use the liquid though. The tablets are not absorbed so easily and their strength will diminish with the crushing up of the tablet.
If you still have the Arsen alb bottle which had the liquid in it, you can reconstitute that. It is important the bottle still has a wee bit of liquid in it still, and that you haven’t washed the bottle out:
Simply open the bottle = hopefully it has a screw top – be careful not to lay the inner tube on any surface, but try and rest it up on a sterilized spoon which has been dipped in boiling water. Don’t touch the inner tube either as this will spoil the remedy inside the bottle.
Then fill the bottle up with vodka, pouring straight from the bottle so that contamination does not occur.
Now put the lid back on the bottle and succuss the mixture by shaking it hard, accentuating the down beat – for 100 quick forceful shakes.
I often use this method of reconstituting a liquid remedy when it has run out. If you take care not to contaminate the remedy, and you succuss it well by shaking, it works just as well as the original remedy.
I hope your pet recovers.
Best Wishes,
Merrilyn
Apologies for the late reply the first time, and I am sorry your pet passed away.
The homeopathic treatment may not always effect a cure in the case of terminal illnesses, but it can help relieve the patient of pain and help with infections. If you cannot reconstitute your liquid remedy, and cannot buy any more liquid, then make up a liquid remedy.
It is important not to touch the tablets, and it is important to use sterilized spoons, etc. Don’t touch any of the equipment except the outside of the bottles you are handling.
Tip out around ten tablets into a sterilized cup. Then, using a sterilized spoon or crusher, crush up the tablets. With sterilized spoon, put the powder into a sterilized small bottle with lid.
Fill up with straight vodka, put on the lid, and succuss by shaking forcefully 100 times, accentuating the down beat.
If you havent got a dropper attached to the bottle, then it is best to tip a few drops of remedy out onto a spoon, not touching the spoon. Never put unused liquid back into the bottle – this way, your mixture stays uncontaminated.
