The introduction of the bowel , nosodes followed exhaustive research , involvinig the clinical and laboratory observation of no loss less than 12,000 clinical cases , over 20 years by Dr, John Paterson a glascow physician and Dr.Edward Batch a bacteriologist , their first paper , the potentised drug and its action on the bowel flora –was published in 1936 . It is emphasized that the clinical and laboratory studies were not provings in the strict Hahnemannian sense
Bowel nosodes are derived from potentized cultures of human stools containing intestinal bacteria and bacteria from the intestinal tract , they are often described as the intestinal nosodes of Batch Paterson
Action of bowel Nosodes;;;
Explaining their action , we must consider the role of B.coli and coliform ,organisms found in the intestinal tract . B. coli present in the intestines of warm –blooded animals and is considered to be of warm blooded animals and is considered to be harmless and non pathogenic in the healthy bowel
Those intestinal bacteria break up the complex organic substances formed in the digestive process into simpler substances which are are excreted in the diseased condition the B.coli are forced to modify their biochemistry in order to survive as the balance is upset and are then said to be pathogenic
Batch and Paterson found that after some patients has received homoeopathic remedies , non lactose fermenting bacilli appeared bore a relationship with the remedy given . the concluded that these non lactose fermenting bacilli were biochemically related to both the disease and the homoeopathic remedy thus
1] the specific organism is related to the specific homoeopathic remedy
2] the specific organism is related to the the specific homoeopathic remedy
3] the specific homoeopathic remedy is related to the specific disease
the potentized bowel nosode can there fore be considered as a complex biochemical substance having the characterstics of the disturbed metabolism and thus be similar to the disease and by the law of similars to have the power to restore the balance
USE OF BLOOD NOSODES;;
Bowel nosodes are deep and broad acting remedies covering the totality of symptoms . case histories should there fore take into account both past and present symptoms and when a definite symptom picture indicates a particular homoeopathic remedy , then this should be prescribed
However , if the choice of a remedy lies between a number of possible remedies then the associated bowel nosode may be used . for example if calcium carbonate , sulphur and graphites are all possible remedies , then the bowel nosode may be used , since it is associated with each of of these remedies
Bowel nosodes are also considered to be useful remedies in the treatment of chronic disease and in cases resistant to other treatments
PRESCRIBING BOWEL NOSODES;
A single dose in the 30th centesimal potency is generally recommended . sometimes a second dose is given , but not until after three months
Otherwise , the general rules may be followed , that is a low potency for example 6c may be given , if there are marked pathological symptoms and a high potency , for example 1m if there are marked pathological symptoms again the higher the potency the less frequent the dosage rate
Another approach is a single dose of the bowel nosode .with repeated doses of an associated remedy

GAERTNER-BACH
Gartner –bach has a close association with phosphorus with this bowel nosode the key note is ;
MALLNUTRITION
It is there fore , associated with the treatment of many childrens diseases and senility . Any emaciated condition is an indication of the use of gaertner-bach
The child may be thin or emaciated , hypersensitive , with an overactive brain

The combined symptom pictures of phosporors silica and mercviv , accurately compares with that of gaertner –bach
SYCOTIC CO,–PATERSON
