Tuberculinum - a Common Remedy for Children

1/1/2017

45 Comments

 
Picture
IN BRIEF

Tuberculinum is one of our main constitutional homeopathic remedies for children, especially those with weak constitutions who suffer from frequent infections and allergies, as well as children with a wide range of developmental and behavioural disorders. 


"A proportion of these children may be born with mental handicaps from mild learning difficulties to severe mental retardation and some of these children show many symptoms of chromosomal disorders, yet genetic testing will come back to be normal." [1]
By Anke Zimmermann, BSc, FCAH

Developmental Delays and Learning Disabilities

Many of these children lag behind in their developmental milestones. They may be slow to sit, walk or teeth or learn to talk. Tuberculinum can often help to normalize the development and help them catch up.

Some children may simply be slow at comprehension and may find it exhausting to apply themselves to their studies, making homework an ordeal.
​
I have also seen children become unable to focus after a severe infection, such as pneumonia. Suddenly a previously bright child seems constantly tired and unable to study, be lazy or complain about headaches or eye aches from studying.

Restlessness, Defiance and Destructiveness

Some tuberculinum children are very restless and hyperactive, even in their sleep. These children mess up their beds, fall out of them and grind their teeth.

They can be irritable and intentionally malicious, touching or breaking an object with willful intent, even looking at a sibling or parent while doing so. It is exasperating for the parent, but the child actually is taken over by these destructive impulses.
​
Oppositional and defiant behaviour is marked in these children. These youngsters can be very loud, forceful and have violent rages and tantrums and their behaviour may be worsened by dairy products.

Bedwetting, Head-thumping and Allergies

Tuberculinum is also one of our main remedies for bed wetting in children as well as for head-thumping. Heads may be thumped against pillows, bed frames, doors and walls, sometimes quite forcefully.

Tuberculinums may be born with an unusual amount of dark hair and sometimes hair on their ears and shoulders or going down their backs. Their heads my be too large, too small or misshapen and they may suffer from headaches. 

​These children often have enlarged adenoids, chronic ear infections, allergies, especially to cats and many chest symptoms, including chronic coughs, easy pneumonia and asthma. I have cured many cases of chronic bronchitis with tuberculinum.

These children tend to be more susceptible to adverse reaction to vaccines and medications, making them more liable to develop autism and other more serious developmental disorders.

Bacon and Milk

Frequently these children crave bacon and other smoked meats such as ham, salami and pepperoni, as well as cold milk, which often aggravates them. They may like meat, fat and salty foods as well as ice cream.

Family History of Tuberculosis

Please note that a child does not need all of the above symptoms to benefit from this great remedy. A family history of TB is usually present but not always known. We simple prescribe on the presence of the above symptoms.

TB exposure in ancestors may leave epigenetic changes which can predispose offspring to the conditions described.

​Overall, tuberculinum is one of my top remedies to help children with developmental and behavioural disorders.

Dear Dr. Zimmerman:

The information you provide on tuberculinum is amazing! I'd love to hear your input on my dilemma:

My 19 year old son took 200ck tuberculinum 2xday for facial and body tics. It helped him almost 100%! However, to his dismay, his hair started falling out rapidly. He stopped the tuberculinum immediately and his hair is back to normal. Did you ever see similar reaction on any of your patients? And, do you have any suggestions for us? We badly want to get rid of those tics again.

Thank you so much for this website!!

Hi Chana,
I have not come across this problem but thank you for sharing. It's possible that Tuberculinum was either not quite the correct remedy and/or that your son took it too much and developed a 'proving', which means that the person gets the symptoms the remedy is known to help. Taking a 200CK twice a day for longer than a day in a chronic case would not be a good idea. How long did he take it for?

Sorry for the inconvenience. Is tuberculinum a good cure for tics?

Reply
Anke Zimmermann
4/13/2019 12:45:18 pm

Tuberculinum may help if it's the right constitutional remedy, but it is not a remedy, much less a cure, for tics in general. Homeopathic remedies are given for the individual, not the condition. Ten individuals with tics may receive ten different remedies given for their specific symptoms picture, their history, temperament and other factors.

Hi, our homeopath has been giving our baby for few months now Tuberculinum, slowly increasing the potency.
From Tub 1M to Tub CM. Baby is prone to eczema, poor sleeer, hates the car rides and is extremely attached to his mom with an extrem case of separation anxiety.
We see some improvement with eczema and less reactions to solid foods.
He is due to tak his Tub CM in a few days, but I am a little hesitant because of such a strong potency. I don’t know if it is a mother’s intuition or I am overthinking it.
The baby boy is 10 months old, meeting his milestones, but a rather late teether.
We see this homeopath for more than a year now and I trust her. But somehow I am doubting this high potency.
Please, share your thoughts on this!

Thanks,
Olesya

Hello Olesya,
Without taking a complete history I can't really comment too much on your son's treatment, I just don't have enough information. That being said, if you don't comfortable with the CM then don't allow it. Extreme separation anxiety also is not typical for Tuberculinum youngsters and if the remedy was the correct constitutional I would have expected that to change.
I hope this helps a bit,

And I would not be able to sell it to you without a consultation, I am not allowed to as per our regulatory body, not unlike a doctor not being able to prescribe a medication without a consultation and examination.

Thrilled to find this article/explanation. My 12 year old grandson has had all the above behaviors/symptoms. Finally, after trying everything else I could find to " fix " him I have found a homeopathic doctor who has assessed him and prescribed this remedy. It appears to be spot on in the description and applies to other sibling and cousins to this child. I'm sure it is genetic. Can't wait for the results...any improvement in the quality of his life is welcome.

There seem to be multiple types of tuberculinum discussed about e.g., Tuberculinum Koch, Tuberculinum Bovinum, Tuberculinum Aviaire, etc.. I would like to know which of these you are referring to and whether there is any difference in terms of the symptoms they match.

Hello
My 33year old son has been given this remedy. He certainly would not have fit this description as a child. He had seperation anxiety., was kind, needed a lot of attention, loved animals and younger children. Met his mile stones all early but is dyslexic, has some autistic traits and may have ADD. He has intense anxiety and is depressed. He gets angry nowdays from frustration and fear. He is not working , lives at home, has no girlfriend, cannot sleep and does not know how to go forward. He remembers one incident when he was 8 when I frightened him badly. I have apologized both then and now but he still feelks his trust was broken.

There are many ways to prescribe, maybe ask your practitioner why he or she prescribed Tuberculinum. It may have been prescribed to address an underlying predisposition. He may need other remedies as well of course.

Ashok, I recommend you speak to your practitioner about this. I don't know why he or she recommended the remedy, perhaps it was given as a constutional remedy in which case it would be expected that his overall health improves and symptoms of concern lessen. Homeopathic remedies are meant to rebalance the whole person, not just certain symptoms.

Hello. My son was given by a practicing homeopath, Tub 200c when he was 5months old. He had various issues such as heavy conjunctivitis in both eyes, wind, bad ezcema. I gave it to him once and he started having breathing problems a few hours later & i had to take him into hospital. I stopped all therapy. Now everytime he gets a cold he has that barking cough and wheeze which he had after taking Tub. There is no known TB case in our history but I would like to ask, if Tub is made from dead organisms of TB is it possible that the remedy if too strong could spread the TB or symptoms itself?

Reply
Anke Zimmermann
10/16/2019 08:12:49 pm

Hello Annie,
I'm sorry to hear about your son. It would be good to know how old he is now and what other concerns you may have. It certainly is strange that he would have developed such breathing problems shortly after taking the remedy. I'm not sure if you spoke to his prescriber, that would have been good. Very rarely a remedy may cause a 'proving', creating the symptoms that the remedy is meant to help. In such cases we normally antidote the remedy. This may still be possible for your son. The remedy is made from sterilized tubercular fluids, including the bacteria, so there is no chance of any live organisms being transferred, however, the energy of the disease can still potentially cause this problem, that's why it's so important to have a qualified practitioners and to stay in touch with them.
Hope this helps, if you like some help for your son, it may be possible.
