Ordinary Wisdom
[Charlotte] I’m looking for advice against rabies…a friend was bitten…trying to get animal control to help round up the dog.
[Mick] Charlotte, do you have the Epidemic Diseases document? If so, there are various protocols for rabies prophylaxis in it. If you don’t have a link to the document, please let me know. The remedies that immediately come to mind are Lyssin (also called Lyssinum and Hydrophobinum), Stramonium, Hypericum, Arsenicum, and Ledum. There may be others.
[Talitha] Here is the Rabies section of Mick’s doc, “Rabies:”
Description
“Rabies is a virus, usually transmitted by saliva during an animal bite. It can also be contracted from contact with mucous membranes or an open wound. After being infected, symptoms may occur in anywhere from ten days to over a year. Symptoms begin with mental depression, weakness, restlessness, and fever. Extreme excitement, salivation, and painful spasm of the larynx follow. The spasms make it difficult to drink, and the patient will refuse liquids in spite of great thirst. Death can occur in three to five days due to asphyxia, paralysis, or exhaustion.
NOTE: if possible, observe the animal that did the biting. If it does not develop symptoms within ten days, then it probably didn’t have rabies.”
“NOTE: Rabies is a virus that spreads through the central nervous system and affects the brain. The virus is usually transmitted through saliva but can also be passed on through a cut scratch or moist tissue in the nose or eyes. The symptoms include fever, depression, agitation and painful spasms followed by excessive saliva. Death occurs within 7 days if not treated properly.”

Prophylaxis
Rabies Prophylaxis 1 of 3
Hydrophobimum (also called Lyssin or Lyssinum) 30c, Belladonna 3c (or 30c for children)
“This only to be used if the bite is from a rabid animal or if there is high probability of it; Hydrophobinum 30c, 3 times a day for one week followed by Belladonna 3c (or 30c for children) 2 times a day for 6 months.
NOTE: When using a remedy for extended periods it is best to dissolve it in a bottle of water and take 1/2 teaspoon doses. Tap the bottle 10 times against a book or table before each use. It you should develop a reaction to the remedy, stop for a week and try it again.”

Rabies Treatment 2 of 3
This the Classical approach to rabies treatment. Use the remedies that match the symptom picture:
“Agava americana Mother Tincture: A very good remedy for rabies. Give 10 drops (without the addition of water which is dreaded by the patient) right on the tongue every 10 minutes till cured.
Hydrophobinum 200c (one dose): Actions violent. Jumps, strikes and bites like a mad dog.
Lyssinum 200c (one dose for 3 days): Convulsion brought about by the sight of running water.
Hypersensitiveness of all senses. Start the treatment with this remedy.
Epidemic Diseases

Stramonium 200c (STAT: one dose only, repeat every 3rd day): Madness of a person on seeing running water or even by drinking water.
Xanthium 200c (one dose): It is said to be a specific remedy for hydrophobia.
Anagallis 1x (3 times daily), Cantharis (3 times daily): These remedies are given symptomatically and when there is great fear of water.
Belladonna 30c (2 times daily): After 7 days- one dose every evening and morning when there is fever and diarrhea.”
“*Hydrophobinum: Treatment may be started with this nosode. Follow with appropriate remedies.
