During a severe global flu epidemic of 1919, Dr. Joseph Roy, based in Dijon, observed in patients, a qualified state oscillating rate and "swing" of a microbe that so called oscillocoque . For him, the oscillocoque appears as a universal germ, but its existence has never been proven.
This doctor thinks observe a few years later, the same microbe in various viral diseases (herpes, chickenpox, mumps, measles, herpes zoster) and also in the blood of tuberculosis or cancer patients. Test it first to treat these cancer vaccine therapy by, from an excerpt from his oscillococcinum. But this therapy based strain oscillococcinum greatly multiply the condition of some patients. Despite this setback, Roy continues to experience around the Oscillococcinum. In order to use his discovery for preventive and curative, Roy chooses a source of growing seed: the liver and the heart of Muscovy ducks. Oscillococcinum is an animal extract infinitesimal dilution: about 1 part in 10400.
The use of Oscillococcinum is not based on the law of similarity, nor on individualization of treatment, which are two bases of homeopathy. Oscillococcinum is an exception in homeopathic treatments, which is why it is criticized by some homeopaths and homeopathy specialist.
