4. Organ affinity: Skin, genito-urinary organs, mucous membranes, glands; lymphomas, CLL, prostate, bladder, breast, uterus, lung (1)
5. Key concomitants: Ill-effects of vaccination, suppressed gonorrhoea, hydrogenoid constitution, tearing pains worse in damp (1, 2)
6. Evidence: Thujone shows anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic action in cervical, melanoma, and lung cancer cell lines (3, 4, 5)
Lapis Albus
1. Source: Silico-fluoride of calcium (Gastein gneiss) — Mineral kingdom (6, 7, 8)

Key Difference
1. Kingdom: Plant (Thuja)| Mineral (Lapis Albus)
2. Miasm: Sycotic (Thuja)| Scrofulous (Lapis Albus)
3. Growth character: Warty, condylomatous, fungoid (Thuja)| Glandular, elastic, pre-ulcerative (Lapis Albus)
4. Keynote pain: Tearing, damp aggravation (Thuja)| Burning, shooting, stinging (Lapis Albus)
5. Stage: Any stage (miasm-based) (Thuja)| Pre-ulcerative only (Lapis Albus)
6. Constitution: Hydrogenoid, post-vaccination (Thuja)| Scrofulous, goitre/cretinism region (Lapis Albus)
. One-liner: Thuja = sycotic-miasm tumour (warty, post-vaccination, damp); Lapis Albus = scrofulous-diathesis tumour (glandular, burning, pre-ulcerative).
