002, India. INTRODUCTION
“Sarcodes are homeopathic drugs prepared from healthy animal tissues
and secretions that in crude form contain biological molecules having specific physiological
functions in the human organism” According to this definition, an animal product will not be
considered a sarcode, if it does not contain some biological molecules that are integral part of
vital metabolic processes of human organism. That is the dividing line between „animal
drugs‟ and „sarcodes‟.[1]

As defined by Devide Lowenfels‟ “sarcodes contains information of biological structure of an

organ and by resonating the organ substance energetically its natural healing energy is
stimulated. Thus removing toxins and optimizing organ function.” [2]

Organotherapy uses sarcodes, extracts derived from animal or human tissues to treat medical
conditions. [3] Hence it is also known as SARCODES, or MODERN HOMEOPATHY. It is
sometimes referred to as CELLULAR HOMEOPATHY. [4] Sarcodes utilize mRNA (hence
also referred as Biological mRNA Therapy [5]) to regulate and correct the function of organs

Mashru et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

and bodily systems on a cellular level. The use of sarcodes transfers genetic information from
the cell nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template for protein
synthesis.[3] The main requirement for the successful use of these medicines is an
understanding of the pathology involved in the disease being addressed. [6]

HISTORY
Medical treatment, by means of preparations derived from the various organs of animals,
forms a subject of intense interest. Although its scientific application is comparatively of
recent date, it was known to the ancient Egyptians and the use of orchitic substance in the
treatment of obesity is described in the writings of Sushruta, who lived sometime between
400 and 500 B. C. This is probably the first mention of Organotherapy and from that time,
frequent references have been made in literature.[7]

Nosodes and sarcodes (homeopathic remedies gained primarily from disease products
respectively organs of human or animal origin) are groups of drugs which were added to the
homeopathic Materia Medica in the 1830s. Most substances used in nosode or sarcode
therapy have a long medical tradition, with some even going back to the pre-Christian
period.[8]

This type of homeopathy was introduced in the 1930s by the English Physician, Dr. Conan,
for the treatment of acute or chronic diseases of the digestive system. It was later extended to
other pathologies. Next, a French physician Dr. Nobel used secretions of insulin hormone
produced by the pancreas for the treatment of diabetes. He later used other substances for the
treatment of a variety of conditions with great success. Immediately after this introduction,
Organ homeopathy became widely used due to its simplistic approach and phenomenal
results.[4]

DEFINITION
The treatment of disease with extracts from animal organs, especially glands is called
Organotherapy.[9] Organo-Therapy is more often written as organotherapy.[10] Organotherapy
is the use of sarcodes to treat organs of weakness, associated with disease. In Greek, the term
"Sarcode" means fleshy. Sarcodes come from humans or animals and are obtained from
healthy endocrine or ductless glands or normal secretions of living human organs and lower
animals. The secretions are mostly hormones.[3]

www.wjpps.com Vol 6, Issue 8, 2017. 2580

Mashru et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

Sarcodes imply protoplasm of animals as distinguished from vegetable protoplasm. In fact

Sarcodes belong to animal kingdom sarcodes include products of animal glands and
endocrine gland as a whole and secretion. Endocrine or ductless glands are those which
produce hormones in the body.[11, 12]

Its functions in Body[3]

 Balances organs, glands or tissue activity
 Slows down accelerated organs, glands or tissue activity
 Stimulates sluggish organs, glands or tissue activity
 Slows down accelerated organs, glands or tissue activity
 Will up regulate and restore hypothyroid balance OR can down regulate the overall
activity of the hyperthyroid gland (using thyroid hormone extract or Thyroidinum)
 In cases where organs are damaged due to autoimmune issues, organotherapy substitutes
for the organ and accepts the autoimmune antibodies, leaving the organ to stimulate its
own restoration.

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE[3, 4, 5, 10, 13]

Organotherapy is an up and emerging branch of Homeopathy that utilizes the use of organ
remedies, made from the health tissues of animals, to treat the patient, working on the basic
principles of Homeopathy, i.e. like cures like. It is based on the idea and understanding that
organs respond to those tissues that have an affinity for the same tissues in the human body,
no matter what species their origin.

Organotherapy is based on two fundamental laws.

(1) Identical organs.

(2) Activity by potency.

1. Identical organs: When a diseased organ is present, an identical healthy organ extract
with corrected information in the form of mRNA is administered to rectify the organ.
2. Activity by potency: Organ medicine is used to strengthen organs, glands, and tissues
weakened by toxins. A low potency is used to stimulate an underactive organ, gland, or
tissue.

Potencies – General Remedies

The potency of Organotherapy remedies determines their affect on their target organs and
tissues. This principle is the same with Homeopathic remedies, but in Organotherapy, the
potencies scale used is low, or at the physical level.

The remedies are made by successive dilution and succussion – just as in Homeopathy when
making remedies from plant and mineral sources. Each round of diluting and succussing
increases the potency by one degree. A remedy made by four rounds of dilution and
succussion is given the label of 4, so to make a 200, the remedy must go through 200 rounds
of dilution and succussion.

In Organotherapy, 4 potency levels are used as follows.

 Potency 3C or 4C of an organ remedy is used to stimulate organ function .

 Potency 7C of an organ remedy is used to regulate the function of the organ or tissue .

 Potency 9C of an organ remedy will suppress the function targeted.

 Potency of 200k is optimal for regulating organ function.

Potencies – Hormonal Remedies

For the treatment of hormonal issues, the potency is changed as follows.
 Potency of 9c (and lower) is used to stimulate a hormone action.
 Potency 12c is used to regulate hormone action.
 Potency 15c and above are used to suppress hormonal function.
 Female hormone remedies are used in the rhythm of the female‟s menstrual cycle to
either reinforce the orderly production and triggering of hormonal responses, or inhibit an
excessive production.

Unlike classical homeopathy, Organotherapy does not have to be stopped once symptoms
have disappeared. On the contrary, it should be taken for at least three months in order to
produce desired results.

HOW IT WORKS
Sarcodes have a very notable peculiarity. They always exist in molecular form in the
organism, and participate in various molecular interactions being part of different
biochemical pathways. They become homeopathic drugs only when they are not administered

www.wjpps.com Vol 6, Issue 8, 2017. 2582

Mashru et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

in „molecular forms‟, but as potentized forms above 12c. In molecular forms below Avogadro
limit, they can be considered only as physiological products, not as homeopathic drugs. [1]

General Mechanism[3]
It stimulates organ functions and may help to prevent antibodies from being formed against
those particular organs. The organs can recognize the right cells and will start reproducing
them from the Organotherapy stimulation. The response of a malfunctioning or diseased
organ to the Organotherapy (sarcode) remedy is that the function of the organ or tissue is then
supported in its healing, regulation and balance. Organotherapy sarcodes can also act as if to
replace an organ which was removed partially or totally with surgery such as women with a
hysterectomy surgery, or removal of their ovaries.

It is also used to help with organ drainage in order to restore function to organs that are
affected by progressing disease. This will be especially important for the kidneys and liver.

Hormonal Mechanism[1]
Sarcodes having hormonal origin undergo two types of chemical interactions: 1. „On-target
interactions‟ and 2. „Off-target interactions‟

„On target interactions‟ are essential parts of vital processes occurring between natural
ligands and their genuine targets. They are of two types, 1. Molecular identification and
binding, 2. Actual chemical interactions. „Off target interactions‟ are those that occur
between ligands and wrong targets i.e. inhibitory pathways. As sarcodes have molecular
imprints they act as interfering agents in off targeting interactions. E.g. Thyroidinum 30.

• 1 part of the mother tincture is diluted in 99 parts of alcohol or in
a mixture of water and alcohol.
• This liquid is then succussed 10 times in its bottle by firmly
hitting the bottle‟s base against a firm but resistive surface such as
the palm of a hand or leather covered over book. The resulting
Step 5: Dynamizaton liquid is called 1C potency (1 refers to 1st stage of dilution and C
of potencies refers to its 1:1000 dilution ratio).
• 1part of this 1C potency is again diluted and succussed in 99 parts
of alcohol or water and alcohol mixture to produce a 2C remedy.
• This serial of process of dilution and succession, called
potentisation, is further repeated to produce increasingly higher
potencies of the remedy.

INDICATIONS[2]
 As a complementary to the constitutional remedy – both as an acute or chronic e.g.
Thyroidinum as an acute of Natrum mur in an acute case of urticaria or Thyroidinum as a
deeper acting constitutional remedy in an acute case of angina pectoris which was treated
with Adrenalinum.
 As an organ stimulator when the affected organ is functionally or structurally affected e.g.
Pituitarium glandula as an intercurrent organ remedy in a case of pituitary microadenoma
 Clinical conditions, where the organ loses its very function or structure or conditions
characterized by atrophy e. g. cirrhosis of liver, spinal cord neoplasm, cerebellar
degeneration etc. and one can prescribe Hepar suis, Medulla spinalis or Cerebellum
respectively in such cases.
 Clinical conditions characterized by hyper functioning of organs e.g. adrenal hyper
function (like Cushing syndrome, adrenal cortex adenoma or adrenal cortex carcinoma
etc.) where one can use a sarcode like Adren. It may be overgrowth, acromegaly or
obesity. On the same analogical thinking, malignant pathologies also come under
pathogenesis of sarcodes.
 When a single organ is the basis of the general condition of serious order, a prescription
of a sarcode can be thought of e.g. if a patient of myocardial ischemia has now CCF and
constitutional and organ remedies based on indications are not helping the case, a sarcode
like Myocardium can be thought of or if a single diseased organ of kidney has caused
systemic effects on the system, one use a sarcode like Ren or an inveterate case that has
suffered from multiple skin conditions (from simple dermatitis to psoriasis for example)
throughout the life of a patient and which has baffled many good prescriptions, a sarcode
like Derma can be prescribed.

www.wjpps.com Vol 6, Issue 8, 2017. 2586

Mashru et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

 Paucity of symptoms in a case of either functional or structural type where it is difficult to

find a constitutional remedy.
 A case of pathological museum where multiple vital organs are affected in the system.
One can use many sarcodes during the treatment span, not in combination but singly in a
sequential way.
 The disease shows its „play‟ in some organs that are bound together by a system e.g. a
combination of diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and PCOD in a case where
endocrinological system is affected.
 Exorbitant investigatory reports in a functional or structural case e.g. high cholesterol,
high bilirubin, high creatinine or blood urea etc.
 Status quo condition in a pathological case when nothing „moves‟ towards recovery after
the administration of several remedies.
 On the past and family history of certain clinical conditions that might have a dynamic
effect over the constitution e.g. history of hypo/hyper-thyroidism in family history or
during pregnancy where one can prescribe Thyroidinum.
 Preponderance of structural zone of illness with low susceptibility.
 A case of advanced pathological case where the vitality is at low ebb and it is
inappropriate to prescribe a constitutional remedy as it may result in a killer aggravation.
Preference should be given to a sarcode than a nosode in such cases as the fuse can be
burnt with a nosode.
 Clinical confirmation can be a source of use of a sarcode e.g. Pituitrin in conditions of
delayed puberty and undeveloped breasts.
 For the sake of detoxification.

SARCODES AND HUMAN SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE[2]

In universe, everything which exists outside of man has its analogue within man. A man
beholds in part that celestial effulgence (shining forth brilliantly) I which all creation is
bathed. Each emotion has a related organ or organs. Emotions are capable of causing
physiological and anatomical alterations in organs. So, looking backwards, every
pathological state can be traced back to its emotional origin. Every organ has its secret
meaning. Each sarcode remedy carries within it the symbolic language of the human system
and of the organs and this could be utilized for developing the theme and for selection of the
appropriate sarcode remedy.

Examples: Breast, Colon, Pituitary gland.

• Breast(s): The human symbolic language of breasts represents mothering, nurturing and
nourishment. Illnesses (like cysts, lumps, soreness, mastitis etc.) represent refusal to nourish
the self and putting everyone else first. Indications of Lac group of remedies (prepared from

milk of many animals) are related to deprivation of love, faulty nurturing and forsaken and
inferiority feeling.

CONCLUSION
The ultimate aim of any physician or healer is to provide or help their patients to regain the
homeostatic balance for leading a healthy life. Sarcodes are the quintessential preparations
charged with the sar of human body. This gives the basic advantage over modern medicine is
that these preparations are one of body itself and hence promote the principle of self healing.
They are easily accepted by the body system and require no special process as required for
any drug of herbal or allopathic origin. These remedies can be administered in
individualistically and in variety of combinations over a broad demographic. These remedies
provide innumerable indications to be used along with modern medicines.
