Fluoric Acid



Of the halogens, fluorine is the most reactive. It is so reactive that it is not found free in nature, but in a combined state. It is a pale yellow, corrosive gas, which reacts with practically all organic and inorganic substances. Contact of liquid fluorine with skin causes irritation and burns. In the body it causes progressive skeletal changes, called skeletal fluorosis. In addition, fluorine binds calcium in the body, causing ionic calcium to decrease; this, in turn, causes secondary hyperparathyroidism.

| | |- "A constant, irresistible desire to walk in the open air, its does not |

| | |fatigue," is characteristics of Fl-ac. |

| | |- Like all halogens, Fl-ac tends to breaks bonds, so will often get married and |

| | |divorced multiple times. Hurriedness applies to relationships as well, e.g., |

| | |met yesterday, move in today. |

|sour offensive perspiration | |Fl-ac and Sil are complementary. Fl-ac follows Sil when the latter has improved |

| | |the general health and tone of the patient but has failed to complete the cure, |

| | |and aggravation from cold changes to aggravation from heat. Fl-ac is also |

| | |antidotal when suppuration and destruction of tissue has been increased by the |

| | |too frequent repetition of Silica in a low potency. In patients of the Silica or|

| | |Fl-ac type, the earlier symptoms may call for Pulsatilla or Thuja. Then the |

| | |sequence will be Pulsatilla (or Thuja), SIlica and Fluoric acid. |
