 INTRODUCTION

 There are seven metals in the ancient alchemical

system of healing, which have resurfaced from time
to time in medical thought.
 Metals are obtained from the mineral kingdom.
 Many wonderful remedies are prepared by
potentising the metals.
 Metals have a direct effect on the human
physiognomy. They affect almost every vital system
of the body.
 Metals are also used as therapeutic agents.
 They are used in chemoprophylaxis. Greatly used in
surgery, dentistry.

 Metals affect the skin; they are fitted in dentures

and fillings.

 Metals are outstanding conductors for electro

magnetic currents. (Silver, copper, gold)

 Their structure remains unaltered in these

conditions therefore they are not destroyed by the
conduction.
 PLACE IN PERIODIC TABLE
 The group of transition elements of the
fourth period.
 Atomic number 22 to 30.
 The metals Titanium, Vanadium,
Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel,
Copper and Zinc and Others.
 Among the mineral remedies, the metals
have to do with performance and defense.
 The Row 4 metals in the Periodic Table are
concerned with defense more than with
performance. This line consists of
Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper
and Zinc.
 Metals of Row 5 have to do with performance rather
than with defense; they include Rhodium,
Palladium, Silver, Cadmium and Indium.

 The elements belonging to the 6th Row have the

strongest defense/performance issues. This line
consists of the heaviest metals namely Osmium,
Iridium, Platinum, Gold, Mercury and Thallium.

 Thus it is seen that the degree of

defense/performance increases as we go from Row
4 downwards.
