IS KENT STRICT HANEHMANNIAN??????????????????????????

By Dr. Nitesh Jain.


A second proff. student of  B. H. M. S. when goes to O. P. D’s for his

Clinical classes is generally seen perplexed while taking up of the case, finding too

few or no Mental Symptoms. As if without Mental Symptoms the medicine cannot

be prescribed and the case is incomplete. Who had taught him these? He had only

been taught the theoretical part of Organon – then why it occurs? You might have

also encountered such situations. This clearly portraits influence of James Tyler

Kent, even after decades of his death. Kent’s influence still persists no mater he is

dead or alive, rather it is on the rise. Is this influence Hahnemannian? Is Kent strict

Hahnemannian?


Stuart Close, in third paragraph, page number 1 of “Chapter 1, The

Psychological Point of View” of his book “The Genius of Homoeopathy Lectures

and Essays on Homoeopathic Philosophy”, says “Disciples or would-be disciples

have always to be on guard against false teaching”. Inspired by these words I feel it

to be my moral obligation to throw light on Kent’s view by keeping Hahnemann’s

view at the back of the mind. Thereby I present this for your consideration.

In Homoeopathic literature there are a number of points which cries that in

Homoeopathy –

“Some things written wrongly,

Some things understood wrongly,

Some things interpreted wrongly,

Some things added wrongly,

Some things omitted wrongly,

Some things propagated wrongly,

What we learn as Homoeopathy today is Homoeopathy maligned by the

sum total of all these WRONGS !!!!!!!!”

In this article I will only focus on the thoughts of Kent and that of

Hahnemann. I presuppose that the esteemed reader is well aware of the

fundamental concepts of Kent and Hahnemann. Initially on reading “Lecture 1;

The Sick” from “Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy” by James Tyler Kent, we

see that Kent says that man comprises of Body (External man) and Life

(Comprises of Will, Understanding and Memory; collectively the Internal man),

but Hahnemann went for Wholistic concept – to consider man as a whole and treat

accordingly. Kent gave importance to Internal man. For Hahnemann everything is

to be seen equally and (striking, singular, uncommon, peculiar) characteristic

symptom depends as per the case in hand - § 153 of “Organon of Medicine”.

In the same chapter Kent says “It is not the principle business of the

physician to be hunting in the rivers and cellars and examining the food we eat for

the cause of the disease”, whereas Hahnemann in § 4, of his “Organon of

Medicine” gave importance to hygiene.

Hahnemann says in “Medicine of Experience” – one of the precursors of

Organon “Medicine is the science of experience, its object is to eradicate diseases

by means of remedies.” But, Kent says in the very chapter “Beware of opinion of

man in science Hahnemann has given us principles which we can study and

advance upon. It is the law that governs the world and not the matter of opinion or

hypothesis”. Experience, as when one experiences something astray; then only his

opinion is made which sounds different, and working on it makes hypothesis.

Further, Kent says “We must begin to have a respect for law, for we have no

starting point unless we base our propositions on law. So long as we recognize

man’s statement we are in state of change for men and hypothesis changes. Let us

acknowledge the authority.” This shows that Kent only accepted those things that

he himself could not do! This shows his haughtiness! This may be the reason why

he criticized Boenninghausen’s ‘Concept of Analogy’, by example of Arsenicum

album’s headache (which is well known), but praised him for his work on

Concordance (which he could not do…). Further in his “Lectures on

Homoeopathic Materia Medica” page number 1011, in lecture on ‘Veratrum

album’ he praises ‘Analogy’ by saying, “I remember a farmer who consulted me in

the Summer. He had a strange sensation when he drank water, as if it ran down the

outside and did not go down the oesophagus. It was so marked that he requested

his friends to see if it did not run down the outside. Veratrum 2m. cured him. No

remedy has produced that sensation, but I figured it out by analogy.”

In “Lecture 5, § 5 Discrimination as to Mantaining, External causes and

Surgical Cases” of his book “Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy” Kent says

“Psora is the cause of all contagion. If man had not had Psora, he would not have

the other two miasms, but Psora the oldest, became the basis of others.” But,

Hahnemann in his “The Chronic Diseases their peculiar nature and their

Homoeopathic cure” says that there are two venereal miasm – Sycosis and

Syphilis, which can be acquired (even if the person is not having Psora).

In “Lecture 6, § 6 The unprejudiced observer notes only the change of state

as shown by symptoms” of his book “Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy” Kent

says “ The man needs the same course of treatment that he has needed from his

baby hood.” This statement gives indication to what we call ‘Constitutional

treatment’ As per this statement a child requires a particular medicine in his

childhood and with advancement of age, may many changes occur in his mental

and physical body; but he requires the very medicine which was required in his

childhood. On the contrary Hahnemann says –

1. In his “Organon of Medicine” § 5 – Accessory circumstances play a role in

chronic diseases.

2. In § 6 – “Morbid phenomenon accidents, symptoms” which are to be taken

into account while observing the change in state.

3. In “The Chronic Diseases their peculiar nature and their Homoeopathic

cure” Hahnemann mentioned about acquired miasm, which is to be taken

into account, if present.

Hahnemann in § 63 – 64, of his “Organon of Medicine” treats of the Primary and

Secondary action of Medicines. But, in “Lecture 16, Oversensitive patients.” of his

book “Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy” Kent says “….. There is no

necessity for dwelling upon this subject.” “Let it be any symptom primary or

secondary, if it is produced by the medicine, it will be cured by it.” So, he says to

skip these paragraphs.

Kent commences his “Lecture 18, Chronic Diseases - Psora” of his book

“Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy” by – “Psora is the beginning of all

physical sickness” where as in the same book page 138 Kent says, “Psora, says

Hahnemann became, therefore the common mother of man’s chronic diseases. It

can be said that at least 7/8th of the chronic maladies existing at the present day are

due to psora.” This shows that Hahnemann calls Psora to be the cause of 7/8th of

the chronic maladies not 8/8th as Kent mean!!!!!!!

I conclude these points by “Reading between the Lines”, which I have only

hastily sketched down, with the hope that I may have succeeded in putting into the

true light the difference between Kentian and Hahnemannian concept and to incite

my profession on their part to treat these more at length, to remove the confusions

and keep the pure extract in unadulterated form. Today we want to bridge the

knowledge and compact it so as to be useful at the time of need. This is a humble

attempt on this track.

Peace is the religion,

Love is the language,

Compassion is the relationship,

Truth is in action and;

Happiness is the way of living.

A new world of Homoeopathy …….. is very soon going to be a reality”

Lanthanum oxydatum: a matter of chromosomes. Homeopathy 2016. Com versão brasileira do Google.

Com versão brasileira computadorizada abaixo.

by Marie Luc Fayeton

B., born in 1992, was first seen in June 1998. He was diagnosed with “partial trisomy” and he lives in an institution with trisomics. He suffers from cryptorchidy, for which he has had gonadotrophins, and from cypho-scoliosis. He has a pronounced facial asymmetry: his left side is clearly narrower than his right. He also has sleep apnoea and allergies. Benjamin has a lack of self-confidence: “I can’t do that, come and help me; I can’t do it on my own.” He tires easily, lying on the sofa and sleeping 12 hours a day. He loves giving a hand, helping someone to push his/her trolley in the supermarket, and he buys sweets to give people.He does not help at home and refuses any pressure on him.
He has terrible fits of anger and wants to kill those who thwart him. He calls everything he finds worthless a “chromosome”. When something does not go well, he says: “trisomic, mongoloid”. He feels responsible for everything that goes badly. His vocabulary is accurate but he cannot manage learning to read. When he is with other disabled people, he does not sit at their table; he looks for a seat with normal young people.
He can easily read people’s minds and he can find the exact right word that someone is looking for. He senses when people are afraid of him or do not accept him: if people are afraid of him, he becomes restless or plays the role of a retarded person. He is very angry with his father: “When he cut the umbilical cord, he broke one of my chromosomes.” He does not like orders. His first reaction is to say: “No”. He wants to be in power.
He received Verbascum - no confidence in himself nor in the help of others - then Androchtonos - dictatorial, wants to kill the opponent, perceptive, would like to be in power - several times.
After Androchtonos, he started reading, stopped biting his nails, and his moods became more regular. He became more positive and cheerful. His testicles have now come down.
19/05/09
His mother says: “He used to ask for his autonomy, now he takes it while complying with the rules.”
B. says: “I’ll manage to read even though they used to say I would not be able to. I’ll read books for grown-ups.”
On account of his teasing side, his absurd behavior, dictatorial, hurried and tiredness, I give Alloxanum.
31/07/09
He refuses tasks if he has not decided to do them himself. He refuses to be shown; on the contrary, he does the opposite: “I’m going to show you.” He has had a fit of anger, which lasted for two hours. It was completely out of proportion and it was impossible to reason with him. He wanted to kill the person who was against him. His baptism is being prepared.
B: “Doctor, do you love God?
Marie Luc Fayeton: Yes, I do.
B: “I do love God. God is like a father to me. Doctor, how can I remove evil from my heart?”
MLF: What is this evil?
B: “Anger. How can I take the chromosome away?”
B. draws himself in the shape of a fellow dragging a big millstone. He does not have a good sense of time. If he has an appointment at 18:00, he leaves at 18:00.On account of the symptoms: chromosome not connected, wording, family, definite guilt feeling, and flattering, I give Thuja, which calms him down for a few days.
22/09/10
He starts to mature and starts shaking hands rather than kissing. He goes to the physiotherapist on his own by bus and takes the bus to do his grandmother’s shopping: he knows the stalls at the market. He loves the independence and he can even extricate himself from difficulties. He enjoys writing. He often gets bored. He has again said to his parents; “it’s your fault that I am like that, it’s the chromosome.”
Jan Scholten says: “Lanthanides want to find out what they got from their parents or what is really from themselves.” And: “they suffer when they discover a dark side in themselves. They are overwhelmed by their negative side.”
B.has inherited a bad chromosome, so he is angry; he keeps thinking of that. I consider my hypothesis about Lanthanum according to Dr Masi’s concepts: “He has not accepted that his being be determined by something which comes from elsewhere, he has envied the being subsisting by himself. Benjamin’s liking for independence and his interest in spirituality points to Lanthanum.
Prescription: Lanthanum oxydatum XM
08/12/10
B. insists on going alone to the surgery. He wants it to be “a little intimate”.He expresses himself very well: “Really, I’ve got my head in the clouds: I lose my wallets, my mother’s cell phone.” He hears me phoning a man experiencing difficulties with his wife. He comments: “Women are a pain, couples are complicated. My uncle and my aunt swear at each other.” His mother says: “He is quite tonic, more dynamic, less drowsy, less quick-tempered, and less oppositional; his first reaction is still “no”, but he can go back, he does not give vent to his anger.”
Prescription: Lanthanum oxydatum 12000
02/02/11
He comes alone to the surgery and for the first time he did not annoy my secretary, while waiting for his turn.
B: “Doctor, I am very well. My anger is over. The bad language is over. The nasty gestures are over.”
MLF: You are happy?
B: “Yes, I am.”
MLF: You get less bored?
B: “I used to be bored. Now, I keep myself busy, I go cycling, I play with a computer. I’m going to do a cooking course. I can peel marrows, I can cook, make chocolate cakes.”
His mother says: “He has taken the biggest step since we have come here. He is calmer, he is cheerful, and he no longer gets angry. He is far less tired and he sleeps well. He can pack his own things when he goes away and he can manage on his own in public transportation: he can memorize the lines, the timetables. That’s perfect. He’s not the same anymore.  His teacher finds him more controlled; he follows through everything he does. The counsellor for sports and handicaps has said 4 years ago that he would not have thought his integration into society feasible. He is going to put him in a video to demonstrate integration through sport.
He took Lanthanum oxydatum 15000 on February 6th with good result, because he was tired, nervous, and provocative.                                                                 
31/03/11
 “I’ve finished my cooking course and I have passed!”
Then his mother comes in: “He’s happy. I get only congratulations for his behaviour. The person in charge of him during the course has told me only positive things about him: his rhythm, the precision and quality of his work. A student who has come to help the staff has said: ‘Your son is a great guy, calm, controlled, involved.’ He phoned his brother: “I’ve passed.” His brother has come to congratulate him and has found him to be more mature. He tidies his room, makes his bed, sorts his clothes out and wants to change his wallpaper.
Meanwhile B. is writing to me:  “I love ya, doc,” and asked me: “Am I handsome?” His teacher says: "He has got a good rhythm at work, he takes care of his work, it is precise, he doesn’t go and bother the others or disrupt the class. He loves going out on his own with me. He has got the notion of time and he takes the bus on time. He wants to be on time. He can tidy up in a more sensible way.”
I notice that today he has not been touching the objects on my desk as much or taking the pens apart.
                                                                            
                                                                                                              Thank you Jan Scholten.

Oxydatum de lantânio: uma questão de cromossomospor Marie Luc Fayeton
B., nascido em 1992, foi visto pela primeira vez em junho de 1998. Ele foi diagnosticado com "trissomia parcial" e vive em uma instituição com trisomics. Ele sofre de cryptorchidy, para o qual ele teve gonadotrofinas, ea partir cypho-escoliose. Ele tem uma assimetria facial pronunciado: o lado esquerdo é claramente mais estreita do que a direita. Ele também tem apnéia do sono e alergias. Benjamin tem uma falta de auto-confiança: "Eu não posso fazer isso, venha me ajudar; Eu não posso fazer isso sozinho. "Ele pneus facilmente, deitado no sofá e dormir 12 horas por dia. Ele adora dar uma mão, ajudando alguém para empurrar sua / seu carro no supermercado, e ele compra doces para dar people.He não ajuda em casa e recusa qualquer pressão sobre ele.
Ele tem ataques terríveis de raiva e quer matar aqueles que o impedir. Ele chama tudo o que ele acha inútil um "cromossomo". Quando algo não vai bem, ele diz: "trisomic, mongolóide". Ele se sente responsável por tudo que vai mal. Seu vocabulário é preciso, mas ele não pode gerir a aprender a ler. Quando ele está com outras pessoas com deficiência, ele não se sentar em sua mesa; ele olha para um assento com os jovens normais.
Ele pode facilmente ler a mente das pessoas e ele pode encontrar a palavra exata certo que alguém está procurando. Ele sente quando as pessoas estão com medo dele ou não aceitá-lo: se as pessoas têm medo dele, ele torna-se inquieto ou desempenha o papel de uma pessoa retardada. Ele está muito zangado com seu pai: "Quando ele cortou o cordão umbilical, ele quebrou um dos meus cromossomos." Ele não gosta de ordens. Sua primeira reação é dizer: "Não". Ele quer estar no poder.
Ele recebeu Verbascum - sem confiança em si mesmo, nem na ajuda dos outros - então Androchtonos - ditatorial, quer matar o adversário, perceptivo, gostaria de estar no poder - tempos vários.
Após Androchtonos, ele começou a ler, parou de roer as unhas, e os seus humores tornou-se mais regular. Ele tornou-se mais positivo e alegre. Seus testículos já desceram.
19/05/09Sua mãe diz: "Ele costumava pedir sua autonomia, agora ele leva-lo respeitando as regras."B. diz: "Eu vou conseguir ler mesmo que costumava dizer que eu não seria capaz de fazer. Vou ler livros para adultos ".Por conta de lado sua provocação, seu comportamento absurdo, ditatorial, apressada e cansaço, dou Alloxanum.
millstones31 / 09/07Ele se recusa tarefas se ele não tenha decidido fazê-los ele mesmo. Ele se recusa a ser exibido; pelo contrário, ele faz o oposto: "Eu vou mostrar para você." Ele teve um ataque de raiva, que durou duas horas. Ele estava completamente fora de proporção e era impossível argumentar com ele. Ele queria matar a pessoa que estava contra ele. Seu batismo está sendo preparada.
B: "Doutor, você ama a Deus?Marie Luc Fayeton: Sim, eu faço.B: "Eu amo a Deus. Deus é como um pai para mim. Doutor, como posso remover o mal do meu coração? "MLF: O que é este mal?B: "A raiva. Como posso tirar o cromossomo fora? "
B. desenha-se na forma de um companheiro arrastando uma grande pedra de moinho. Ele não tem um bom senso de tempo. Se ele tem um compromisso às 18:00, ele sai às 18: conta 00.On dos sintomas: cromossomo não conectado, expressão, família, sentimento de culpa definitiva, e lisonjeiro, eu dou Thuja, que ele se acalma por alguns dias .
22/09/10
Ele começa a amadurecer e começa a apertar as mãos, em vez de beijar. Ele vai para o fisioterapeuta por conta própria através de autocarro e toma o ônibus para fazer compras de sua avó: ele sabe as barracas no mercado. Ele ama a independência e ele pode até livrar-se de dificuldades. Ele gosta de escrever. Muitas vezes ele fica entediado. Ele disse novamente a seus pais; "A culpa é sua que eu sou assim, é o cromossomo".
Jan Scholten diz: "Lanthanides quer descobrir o que eles receberam de seus pais ou o que é realmente de si mesmos." E: "eles sofrem quando descobrem um lado negro em si mesmos. Eles são dominados por seu lado negativo ".
B.has herdou uma má cromossomo, então ele está com raiva; ele mantém o pensamento disso. Eu considero a minha hipótese sobre o lantânio de acordo com conceitos do Dr. Masi: "Ele não aceitou que o seu ser determinada por algo que vem de outro lugar, ele invejava o ser subsistente por si mesmo. o gosto de Benjamin pela independência e seu interesse em pontos espiritualidade de lantânio.
Prescrição: lantânio XM Oxydatum
08/12/10
B. insiste em ir sozinho para a cirurgia. Ele quer que seja "um pouco íntima" .Ele se expressa muito bem: "Realmente, eu tenho a minha cabeça nas nuvens: eu perder minhas carteiras, telefone celular da minha mãe." Ele ouve-me telefonar para um homem enfrentando dificuldades com a esposa dele. Ele comenta: "As mulheres são uma dor, os casais são complicadas. Meu tio e minha tia juro para o outro "Sua mãe diz:". Ele é bastante tônica, mais dinâmico, menos sonolento, menos irascível, e menos de oposição; sua primeira reação ainda é "não", mas ele pode ir para trás, ele não dar vazão à sua ira ".
Prescrição: lantânio 12000 Oxydatum
02/02/11
Ele vem sozinho para a cirurgia e, pela primeira vez, ele não irritar a minha secretária, enquanto espera por sua vez.
B: "Doutor, eu estou muito bem. Minha raiva é longo. A má língua é longo. Os gestos desagradáveis ​​são mais. "MLF: Você está feliz?B: "Sim, eu sou."MLF: você pode ter menos entediado?B: "Eu costumava ficar entediado. Agora, eu me manter ocupado, eu vou andar de bicicleta, eu jogo com um computador. Eu vou fazer um curso de culinária. I pode descascar abobrinhas, eu posso cozinhar, fazer bolos de chocolate. "
Sua mãe diz: "Ele tomou o maior passo desde que vim aqui. Ele é mais calmo, ele é alegre, e ele não fica com raiva. Ele é muito menos cansado e dorme bem. Ele pode embalar suas coisas, quando ele vai embora e ele pode gerenciar por conta própria em transporte público: ele pode memorizar as linhas, os horários. Perfeito. Ele não é mais o mesmo. Seu professor encontra-lo mais controlado; ele segue através de tudo o que faz. O conselheiro para esportes e desvantagens disse há 4 anos que ele não teria pensado que a sua integração na sociedade viável. Ele está indo para colocá-lo em um vídeo para demonstrar a integração através do esporte.
Ele tomou lantânio Oxydatum 15000 no dia 6 de fevereiro, com bom resultado, porque ele estava cansado, nervoso e provocante.
31/03/11

 "Eu terminei o meu curso de culinária e eu ter passado!"
Então, sua mãe vem: "Ele está feliz. Eu recebo apenas parabéns pelo seu comportamento. A pessoa encarregada dele durante o curso me disse apenas coisas positivas sobre ele: seu ritmo, a precisão ea qualidade do seu trabalho. Um estudante que veio para ajudar a equipe disse: "Seu filho é um grande cara, calma, controlada, envolvida." Ele ligou para seu irmão: "Eu já passou." Seu irmão voltou para felicitá-lo e encontrou-o para ser mais madura. Ele arruma seu quarto, faz sua cama, classifica suas roupas fora e quer mudar o seu papel de parede.
Enquanto isso B. está escrevendo para mim: "Eu te amo, doc," e me perguntou: "Am I bonito?" Seu professor diz: "Ele tem um bom ritmo no trabalho, ele cuida de seu trabalho, é preciso , ele não ir e incomodar os outros ou perturbar a classe. ele adora ir por conta própria comigo. ele tem a noção de tempo e ele leva o ônibus a tempo. ele quer estar na hora. ele pode arrumar -se de uma forma mais sensata ".
Noto que hoje ele não foi tocar os objetos sobre a mesa tanto ou tomar as canetas distante.

Lanthanum phosphoricum: progressive muscular distrophy. Homeopathy 2016.

by Irina Shilova

The patient is a 30 year old woman who works as a translator. Her main complaint is progressive muscular dystrophy, which began at the age of 12. According to the patient, it started after a quarrel with a friend, which was a great shock. A friend told the whole class that the patient liked a certain boy, and he made fun of her. His mother also told her friends about her and the patient was afraid that they would laugh at her. "At school I was the weakest, the slowest. Nobody loved me." Because of this, she concealed her illness for a long time. Her brother has also a serious disease, cerebral palsy, and she says that people laugh and jeer at him, too.
Her illness began with weakness in the legs; it was hard to climb stairs. The patient cannot get up from a chair or go out independently, and even a small hill is too hard for her to climb. She has been treated with Nandrolone. Her menses stopped five years ago. She has severe headaches, pain in the right hypochondrium, attacks of pancreatitis, constipation, and excessive hair growth on her body. She is slow and depressed, crying every night. She does not like to be told what to do and she protests, since she likes doing things her own way. Her hobby is psychology; she wants people to understand themselves and to “get to the bottom of the problem.” She dreams of the classmates who laughed at her. There are tensions in the family; she is always in conflict with her brother.
Analysis:
This is a serious hereditary disease, incurable in conventional medicine.
She does not like being ordered about, preferring to go her own way, and she wants to get to the bottom of things. All this points to the Lanthanides.
The fact that her friends and classmates were laughing at her, as well as her problems with her brother (who was also laughed at), points to a Phosphorus combination.
The fact that she had such a lack of confidence and felt unable to stand up for herself points to a remedy on the left side of the periodic table, especially Lanthanum.
Prescription: Lanthanum phosphoricum 200C then 1M, 1-2 times per month. I also prescribed a nosode for the disease itself: Dystrophia musculorum progression Nosode.
These remedies were given for 8 months.
Follow-ups:
During this time her mood has improved; she has stopped crying and has become more optimistic. Her stools have normalized. Her gait has become more solid and confident; she is able to walk more and she is less tired. Her headaches have gone, as well as the pain in the hypochondrium.
After one year: she was given Medorrhinum due to the “hiding” aspect; hiding her excess hair growth. She also loves to go to the sea on vacation, a confirmation for Medorrhinum. After Medorrhinum, her menses resumed.
Two years later: her condition continues to improve on frequent doses of Lanthanum Phosphoricum LM.  She is renewing old acquaintances and making a lot of new friends. Her relationship with her brother has improved too, and she helps him with his work. It is becoming easier for her to rise from a chair, and her gait is more confident; she can now walk much longer distances.
The treatment continues.

Cerium oxydatum: arthritis psoriatica. Homeopathy 2016.

by Alex Leupen

The patient is a 53 year old man who came to the clinic for the first time in November 2004, seeking help for his arthritis psoriatica: he has had psoriasis since he was thirteen. He works as an organisational advisor. He later started to study piano, “my childhood dream”. Just before the final exam at the music conservatory, he developed inflammation in his joints:  the small joints of his right hand and wrist, both ankles, and his right knee. Some nails of both hands are affected. His rheumatologist wants to prescribe him Methotrexate.
He is also seeking help through orthomolecular medicine, following a strict diet (no meat, sugar, wine or wheat products, lots of brown rice) and taking many supplements.
His mother felt that there was something wrong with him as a child. “I was supposed to be happy and grateful as a child. If I was angry or sad, she felt like she was not doing her job well, so that wasn’t allowed…!” His mother died some years ago, and that opened up old wounds for him. He was an only child, and he was very jealous, not allowing other children to play with his toys. Now, he is ashamed of his shadow side; the part of him that feels jealous and unfairly treated.
He has periods of depression. “I don’t know what I want to do.” Sometimes, he can be very angry and his reactions are out of proportion. He has two sons, the youngest of whom has congenital malformations and has been operated on three times. This son has demanded a lot of energy from him and his wife, due to the problematic physical and emotional development.
Food and drink:
Desires: Indian food (3), curry (3), coriander (3), fish and meat (3).
Aversions: witlof, Brussels sprouts, endive (all three in his youth).
He is very thirsty. He loves red wine and desires either hot or cold drinks (extremes).
His stools are normal.
As a child he had a poor appetite and constipation, which, in hindsight, he sees as an opposition to his mother (“I was keeping my autonomy.”)
Sleep: He sleeps on his belly. He usually falls asleep easily, and wakes up early (around 5:30 – 6:00). He has recurring dreams of losing his clothes and finding himself naked in company.
Music: He loves classical music, especially Chopin and Schubert. He loves romantic music: “I play passionately,” and he can be moved to tears by music.
Colour preference: Royal blue.
Analysis and follow-up:
It is important to note that the arthritis started just before his conservatory exam: this fits stage 9 (“almost there”) of the Silver series (the series of art and creativity).
Prescription: Rhodium 200K.
Follow-up after 7 weeks: He has more energy and can play piano for 3 hours per day with no problems. The joint pains are 90% improved, and he feels emotionally better.
                                                                            
After some doses of Rhodium MK,  the joint pains have dramatically improved and he decides to look for a job with a different organisation bureau. When asked about his basic underlying feeling, he says: “I am outside the world.” He sometimes does not understand human contact at all, and has the feeling that he is in a glass bell. This is an old feeling from his childhood.
Second prescription: Cerium oxydatum MK.
Cerium fits the feeling of being in a glass bell, looking out at the world.  Arthritis psoriatica is an auto-immune illness, and this is a strong indication for prescribing a Lanthanide. The Oxydatum part goes with his childhood feeling of being unfairly treated.
Follow-ups:
After 7 weeks: He has been to an American city on vacation, where he felt belittled and humiliated by a passer-by. After that, he cried for half an hour, which he experienced as a catharsis. His joint pains are much better and he has composed his first piece of music. The remedy was repeated in a MK potency.
After 8 weeks: He has been back to the rheumatologist, who, to his surprise, sees no signs of destruction on the X-rays. He is rethinking his life and his application for a job with a new organisation bureau has been accepted. He is asked to play more and more concerts.
“Through homeopathy, I have much more energy and self-confidence, and I feel much better emotionally. I feel like I am more autonomous and I don’t have the same feelings of being unfairly treated.”
Six years later, he remains stable and content.

Phalaenopsis gigantea: the Hahnemannian proving of Elephant ear orchid. Homeopathy 2016.

by Sally Williams

Description and Source:
The most widely grown orchids in the world are the species and hybrids of Phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis gigantea or “Elephant Ear Orchid” is native to Borneo and was first described in 1909. Named for its gigantic leaves that easily exceed 60 centimeters, it is the largest of the Phalaenopsis species. The massive leaves are pendent, leathery, broadly rounded, pale silver green and shiny on both surfaces, resembling “elephant ears”. An epiphyte; it can be found growing in the tops of trees with the massive roots wrapped around branches for support. In Borneo, the humidity is high and rainfall is plentiful, although there is a drier season usually towards the middle part of the winter. Generally, the plants grow with steeply tilted leaves to shed water in order to prevent crown rot from occurring. The flowering season is heaviest in the summer; the plant can bloom from 4-6 months at a time. A typical Phalaenopsis gigantea flower has a natural spread of about five centimeters. The flowers tend to have a cream or yellow background with varying degrees of green around the column. The flowers have full, round petals that are about equal in size, are usually overlapping and have raised red-brown spots or blotches that can be felt with the fingers. Mature plants are capable of producing hundreds of flowers on branching stalks reaching 40 centimeters.
Commentary:
The decision to prove Phalaenopsis gigantea arose from the theory that orchids who mimic animals or have animal names may address learning disabilities, even autism. The two successful cases I have seen of this remedy were for a child on the Autistic spectrum who was obsessed with elephants and an adult whose inabilities to communicate and learn well led him to become depressed and withdraw from family and friends.
The central idea of Phalaenopsis gigantea is confusion with a lack of comprehension and difficulty in concentration, learning, retaining information, writing, and speaking. The proving participants were enrolled in a homeopathic college. During the proving each one temporarily had trouble learning and retaining information as if they had learning disabilities. There was also difficulty with memory, a fogginess of mind and a dullness of senses, “not able to listen and remember almost as though I cannot hear”. A patient given Phal-gig with success described it as “a feeling of being underwater”.
Taking tests was difficult and many of them failed an exam, but were able to take the test again and pass when the proving was over. Yet one prover with a history of ADD did very well during the proving and many of his concentration difficulties were subsequently curatively resolved.
In addition, there was frustration over the inability to communicate -- a feeling of being trapped by it with a desire to, but inability to escape. These trapped feelings and scenarios came out in many of the dreams of provers. The primary source of these feelings is a sense that they can’t communicate effectively and are misunderstood. There was irritability over misunderstandings, provoking arguments with co-workers, friends and spouse. The more intense the inability to communicate became the more the provers tended to withdraw. Ultimately, they felt lost and directionless, feeling as if they did not belong.

Mental and Emotional Themes:
- Confusion/difficult concentration

Cerium carbonicum: idiopathic purpura. Homeopathy 2016.

by Patricia Le Roux

Dora Lou is age 8 when idiopathic purpura is diagnosed on January 7th, 2008. She is brought to me by her mother, who raises Dora Lou and her small brother on her own. The purpura is diagnosed following a bad cold in December 2007. (Theme: problems with platelets: Lanthanides). The platelets are very low (4 giga/l) and the child is treated with cortisone, 20 mg per day for four days. A few days later, the platelets have gone up to 48 Gi/l and Dora goes back to school.
On the 11th of January, large bruises reappear. At the hospital, the platelets are tested at 6 Gi/l and the cortisone is increased to 20 mg, 3 times per day, finishing on the 23 rd of January. The cortisone is then stopped and platelets are measured on February 13 at 5 Gi/L. The mother writes to me saying that she is not receiving clear guidance from the hospital and that she lives in fear of an imminent hemorrhage. Dora is very weak. (Theme: Fear of new situations).  She then sees a nearby homeopath who prescribed Ledum palustre 9CH, Phosphorus 12 CH and Arnica 7CH for 8 weeks.
First consultation: March 24, 2008
The mother asks for help, so that Dora can have sufficient platelets without a threat to her life (Theme: fear of a new situation). Dora is an independent but awkward child, who does not really know how to handle conflicts. She avoids conflicts and never takes part in fights; she withdraws, both at school and in family surroundings. She has always been very independent and asked for freedom. Ever since her youth, she regularly travels on her own to Canada to visit her father. Her parents divorced when she was 2 years old and her mother never talks nicely about the father.
“I have a hard life,”’ the mother says, “I have organized a cocoon around those two children, they have been so badly abandoned!” (Theme: cocoon). The father left her for another woman and never recognized the two children.
Dora is not particularly brilliant and she is very timid at school, always on the look-out. At home, she has the male role, as the older child. She is also very frightened of new situations, even new food. She changed school last year for primary school and that was terrible for her. She adapted well, however, and wanted to do it herself, as her mother said. The mother herself says that she is scared of this new pathological situation. (Theme: Fear of the new, officially has to do it herself).
Food desires: Dora craves meat and fruit.
Analysis:
-  Lanthanides: She is independent and she suffers from an auto-immune disease, both of which point to the Lanthanides. 
-  Stage 4: timid (timidity indicates Stage 2 to 5). She wants to have little contact with others, in order to have freedom: “out of contact” is a strong indication for Cerium (cocoon). She is also very frightened in new situations.
-  Carbon: this story is strongly connected with the father, indicating Carbon. The lack of self-confidence and timidity also point in this direction.  
Prescription: Cerium carbonicum 200 C
Follow up:
2nd consultation, May 28: The platelets are slowly going up; there has been another course of cortisone at the beginning of May, as the platelets count dropped under 10 gi/L
Prescription: Cerium Carbonicum 1M
 -3rd consultation, July 11: Dora’s mother emails: “We have just had the last results for Dora: the platelets are up to 97 Gi/L. It’s really a very big change, and the progress has been really visible these last weeks after the Cerium 1M.  We will come to see you in September and see how things are going. We all thank you from all our heart, and hope you have a lovely summer.  From the now very happy family of Dora.”
-4th consultation
Dora is seen in September 2008; her platelets have returned to normal and she has had no more problems since then.

Europium oxydatum: ulcero-hemorrhagic rectocolitis. Homeopathy 2016.

by Ramon Frendo

A. is a thirty year old woman, married and mother of one child – she works as a physiotherapist. She comes due to ulcero-hemorrhagic rectocolitis, which started in 2000; she was then 20.
“I started to have blood in my stools, I had intermittent bouts of abundant rectal hemorrhage. For several years, I didn’t do any tests because my doctor thought it was severe hemorrhoids problems, despite the fact that I had 4 to 6 stools a day. In 2005, that went up to 10 stools a day; I was bleeding dry. I went to see another doctor, who sent me for a coloscopy. I was then diagnosed with ulcero-hemorrhagic rectocolitis.”
She was prescribed Pentasa and Betnesol, which did not bring any relief. She also took Turmeric capsules.
Despite the treatment with Pentasa, she continues to suffer a hemorrhagic crisis once a month. She remains anemic with a marked aggravation during her periods, which are heavy. “I’ve taken the pill from the age of 17 to 27. I had my first period when I was 13. I first got pregnant with a treatment of Clomid and Duphaston, but the pregnancy failed.
Medical history:
-         severe rectal pains; must sit or lie down
-         tired, irritable, weak
-         feels defeated
-         crisis of hyperthyroidism; losing weight despite eating a lot
-         no major antecedent
-         Hepatitis B vaccine
Family history:
-         Mother: 1955, treated by antidepressants and Lexomyl. She has always had digestive problems; gastritis, hemorrhoids
-         Father: 1953, suffers from osteoarthritis; coxarthrosis with hip replacement
-         Several cases of digestive cancer: maternal grandfather and paternal uncle
General:
Her personality is joyous and energetic, also complaining and irritable, alternating busyness and tiredness: “When I was young, I had tantrums.” She is a perfectionist.
Her parents divorced when she was 24. She had been working as a physiotherapist for a year.
Ramon Frendo (RF): What affects you the most?
A: “My parents’ separation. It was so unexpected, so incomprehensible, a lack of communication.”
RF: What was your reaction?
A: “I was saddened… I felt betrayed by my mother, who left my father. I would have preferred that they had argued in front of us. I feel angry inside.
RF: What do you mean by ‘perfectionist’?
A: “I wanted to be perfect in relation to my older sister, who was academically gifted. I was obsessed by it; I was always first of the class and first of my year. Meanwhile, I had low self-esteem, I felt like I had no worth. My sister, who was considered more intelligent than me, has failed in everything. She failed her pharmacist studies and now she is just a pharmacist’s helper.”
RF: What about your childhood?
A: “I was always on the move. I wanted to learn the piano but I was told that it would be my sister who would learn it. I finally learned it, despite my parents saying that she would be better.”
RF: What about your relationship with your sister?
A: “It’s fine now but for a long time there was much jealousy. We fought until I was 20. She would look for me and then I would beat the hell out of her. Since I had more energy and I was stronger, I dominated her. I’ve tried to suppress the fact that my parents preferred my sister. I’m still upset with my mother. Until she failed her studies, they thought she was infallible.”
RF: Do you sleep well? Any dreams?
A: “I sleep well. I have a dream where I am being pursued by people who want to kill me (with firearms, or I’m being beaten). It’s as if I was able to change the scenario. In the dream, I’m still the master and they can never catch me. I manage to hide but the pursuit never stops. In another dream, I have a task that I cannot do. It’s either smuggling or trying to get something out of someone, and I’m being threatened.”
RF: What is your relationship with money?
A: “My mother often frightened me with money: “if we do that, we’ll end up in the street; if we don’t work enough, we’ll have to sell the house…” I’m always afraid of losing money. In life, however, I experience people as beautiful and kind. I give everything and sometimes I’m taken advantage of. I’ve got to be much stricter with people.”
RF: How did you studies go?
A: “I worked a lot, all the time. I forced my husband to eat at my desk while I continued to work. After each exam, I felt I hadn’t done well enough, I wanted to control everything.
RF: Can you tell me more about this?
A: “I’ve been able to study physiotherapy because my sister had failed her pharmacy studies. My parents thought that studying was too expensive. I wanted to know everything, anatomy, etc… I can’t stand mistakes. If I make a mistake, it will cost us. To work independently is much better for me. I don’t want to be ordered around.”
Analysis
1: Auto-immune illness; pre-cancerous; ulcero-hemorrhagic recto-colitis.
2: She wants to dominate; Gold series or Lanthanides; control and mastery direct towards the Lanthanides.
3: The first dream could fit stage 12, Dysprosium. Dysprosium can feel attacked either with a knife or with bare hands but he fights back until the end to maintain his autonomy. Here, she does not fight but hides and the pursuit never ends. One could think of a partial retreat, which could fit stage 13, Holmium.
4: The second dream indicates being on a mission, which could fit stage 9, Europium. It is, however, a particular mission: smuggling or getting something out of someone.
5: She has money issues; fear of losing it, of being short of money, having to sell the house. She also contradicts herself: she gives everything but she’s afraid of being short of money. Contradictions direct towards auto-immune illnesses and therefore, towards the Lanthanides; domination, control, mastery.
6: She yearns for perfection with the subsequent fear of making mistakes, which in turn pushes her to study ceaselessly. Study, intelligence, knowledge and science direct towards Europium.
If we add to this: stools, blood, fear of lacking money, smuggling, and corruption, we are directed towards Oxygen.
Prescription: Europium oxydatum 100K, once every two weeks for a month.
In Europium oxydatum, we find an analogy between the fear of losing money and the loss of stools, blood, life; the fear of losing everything.
Follow-ups:
Three months later: A radical change has taken place. Within 4 days, the rectal hemorrhages have stopped. She has discontinued her allopathic treatment. From the seventh day, she feels much better, quieter, more peaceful. She casts a gentler gaze on her family history, her parents and her sister.
Prescription: continue Europium oxydatum 1000K
Eight months later: No remaining symptoms: normal stools; family life and work are going pleasantly well.
She comes to see me because she would like a second child and she wishes the pregnancy to go well.
Prescription: Europium oxydatum 1000K, every two months.

Terbium metallicum: psoriasiform eczema and tinnitus. Homeopathy 2016.

by Ulrich Welte

He is a good medical doctor, middle aged, well built, well controlled, well dressed, well respected, and very successful; a real gentleman. One of his hobbies is acupuncture. He suffers from a bad crusty and itching skin eruption, which started 3 years ago in the sacral region and slowly spread all over his body in a stricly symmetric fashion. Virtually, only his face and hands are now spared. It is a real nuisance for him because he has to cover himself all the time to avoid strange looks from his patients. The eruption and the itching is worse in bed in the evening, from perspiration, from slight touch, and from warmth. The dermatologist and the university had diagnosed psoriasiform eczema and prescribed steroid creams. The skin improved but as soon as he stopped using it, things got even worse. Then, he tried classical homeopathy with a renowned homeopath but without success. He says: “I dislike the dermatological treatment because it does not cure, it only suppresses the symptoms. I’m sorry to say that the homeopath also failed, he is very sincere. Then, I tried Sulfur on my own but it did not help my skin. The only improvement is that I can drink alcohol now, which formerly caused a headache after the very first glass of wine. What a pity that I don’t drink! I take alcohol only on rare occasions and eat vegetarian food.”
Another problem is tinnitus, a whooshing noise in his right ear. It is definitely worse after sleep. He says he has no specific stress. As he comes across as a rather debonaire, jovial man, this seems very probable, although he says that it gets worse after discussions in his team. 
When asked if there was any other skin problem before, he remembers that he had cracks in the tips of his thumbs for 10 years; they subsided when his eczema began.
His colour preference is a light blue, 16B.
Analysis and progress:
His insight in the non-curative nature of suppressive treatment, as well as his openness towards homeopathy and his interest in acupuncture qualify him as a possible Lanthanide case. His free attitude and trying a remedy on his own when his homeopath failed is also quite typical for a Lanthanide. The pathology of skin eruption is not specific to Lanthanides but does not contradict it. Tinnitus can be Silver or Gold series, including the Lanthanides. Which stage? His well-balanced nature and his former cracks seemed to indicate stage 10. The strictly symmetric pattern of the eruption seemed to support this. The cover-up nature is a sycotic sign, which indicates a middle stage, most likely stages 9-11. So, Gadolinium, the  stage 10 Lanthanide, was chosen. As he had previously responded favourably to Sulphur and has its modalities, worse in bed in the evening and from warmth.
Prescription: Gadolinium sulphuricum C200.
Follow-up:
A severe aggravation sets in during the first night, burning and itching, so severe that he uses antihistamines. Then, things get much better. He uses Gadolinum sulphuricum LM6, as needed, but after 6 weeks, he has a severe relapse. Without re-evalution, I prescribe Dysprosium sulfuricum LM6, the stage 12 Lanthanide, a rather offhand choice, but it helps.
After 2 months, he tells me that his skin and itching are 90% better, and he is very satisfied. It is only then that I learn that in the meantime he went back to his classical homeopath and got a single remedy without being told what it was, which he disliked – “Why should not he tell me?” – and which he says did not do anything. Then, he purchased Dysprosium sulphuricum, and afterwards the improvement started. His tinnitus, however, did not improve.
Three months later, he remains on the same level: 90% improvement of skin, tinnitus unaffected. Only then, do I realize that during interviews there is always a kind of tangible tension, as if he has to control the situation and cannot let go, even for a moment, although this happens in a very polite gentlemanly way. This is Terbium, stage 11. The tension is not unpleasant, as in Dysprosium, who suspects every move and retaliates hard at the slightest provocation, which makes you always feel on guard. In his case, the control was so subtle and so polite that I did not see it. Indeed, I realize only now that he had always been in charge of the anamnesis from the very start and controlled every follow-up in the same way; he told me only what he thought was important and gave me very little chance to intervene by taking full charge of the situation.
So, I now give him Terbium metallicum C200.
After another 6 weeks, he is very satisfied. Not only his skin is perfect but his tinnitus has also gone. He says that he has been hearing the rushing noise again since a few days but previously it was completely gone.
I prescribe Terbium LM6, to be taken as needed.
Nine months have passed, during which he had to take the remedy 5-6 times. Each time, it helped promptly. After another year, he sends me a very polite letter with a video, which documents the skin before and after. It is well documented, well filmed, and well cut: the professional video of a real gentleman.

Neodymium sulphuricum in 10 cases. Homeopathy 2016.

by Jan Scholten

In this article, Neodymium sulphuricum will be discussed as an example of one of the Lanthanides. This remedy is frequently needed in our culture. Neodymium as such is the most prescribed Lanthanide in our practice. This has to do with the fact that our culture demands that people prove themselves. Situations are stressful, work has to be done fast, and people are frequently subjected to new challenges. The idea of calmly doing your job for many years has become a rarity. These qualities of ‘challenge’ and ‘proving’ are found in stage 6, where we find the Lanthanide, Neodymium. Neodymium sulphuricum is often indicated for women. In our present culture, women are gaining their freedom but many of them still have to fight for it in their intimate relationships. This is one of the basic themes of Neodymium sulphuricum: they have to prove their autonomy in marriage, they have to fight for their freedom in relationships. The remedy is really a remedy for the women’s liberation movement. The following 10 cases show different aspects of Neodymium sulphuricum. In many of them, we will see the theme of women fighting for their autonomy and independence, in marriage and love affairs.
Case 1
Woman, 40, premenstrual syndrome.
She is depressed and needs support to maintain her trust in love and relationship. She is irritable towards her children before the menses. She is a homeopath, having chosen this profession because of the holistic and individualistic aspects of homeopathy. She has been divorced, leaving the marriage as she felt limited and narrowed down. Independence, freedom, self-reliance, and making her own decisions are very important for her; it is necessary for her to make a connection with herself, to know who she is.
In this case, we see the theme of fighting (Stage 6) for her freedom and against limitation (Lanthanides) in her marriage (Sulphur). The Lanthanide themes are also found in being a homeopath, holistic, individual aspects, and the need for independence and freedom.
Case 2
Woman, 20, diarrhea.
She easily has diarrhea, < stress, < sauerkraut, fish, tomato. She has acne on her face and back. She has vaginitis, burning pain. She has amenorrhea, < after using contraceptives for a while. She likes adventures and challenges. She is an artist, studying at an academy. She has an aversion to being forced; she wants to go her own way. She has had a boyfriend but she stopped the relationship because he was pushing her too much. She had very good contact with her father but her mother was jealous of this relationship. 
The Lanthanide theme is seen here in the desire to go her own way and to not be forced. The theme of being forced was triggered by her boyfriend, which indicates Sulphur. Stage 6 can be seen in her desire for adventures and challenges. The burning pain, the acne and diarrhea confirm Sulphur. The amenorrhea from contraceptives and a hormonal imbalance, confirm the Lanthanides.
 Case 3
Woman, 30, amenorrhea.
She has amenorrhea, < after contraceptives, and she is anxious about being infertile. She has a bit of anorexia and is very controlling with food. She has a fear of becoming obese and unattractive. She has stomach pains and rumbling, < evening, < lying. She has had a boyfriend but stopped the relationship because he became too dependent on her. She has an anxiety to commit herself, fearing that she will miss her freedom. She is apprehensive of starting another relationship, for fear that it will go wrong again, but she wants to prove that it can be successful. Her parents had a difficult relationship and she felt their tensions. 
The aversion to committing herself or losing her freedom points to the Lanthanides. It is connected with boyfriends and partners, which indicates Sulphur. The desire to prove that it will still work is an indication for Stage 6. Hormonal problems, such as amenorrhea in this case, are also an aspect of the Lanthanides. The anorexia is also an aspect of Lanthanides: it is the desire for control, an obsessive compulsive disorder.
Case 4
Man, 40, arthritis.
He has arthritis of his shoulders, wrists, hands, metacarpal and proximal inter-digital joints, < tired, < stress, < exertion, <<< after a hepatitis B vaccination. He works as a nurse and likes to work independently. As a student he wanted to prove himself. He likes to keep everything under control. In his marriage, he has ups and downs, he often feels hurt and powerless. After Neodymium sulphuricum, he sees his wife in a new light, with gratitude, and they have a few weekends with a lot of talks and emotions and weeping, which clarifies things between them.
Stage 6 is obvious in his desire to prove himself. Three previously prescribed Neodymium were palliating but not curative. The Lanthanides are indicated by the arthritis, which in 70% of cases is auto-immune. It can also be seen in his desire to work independently and his desire to keep things under control.In this case, I struggled a long time to get the right remedy. I gave him Neodymium nitricum, Neodymium oxydatum, Neodymium fluoratum, Praseodymium fluoratum and Samarium fluoratum, all with palliative effects. It is only when he spoke about his marriage problems more clearly that the sulphuricum aspect became evident – previously he spoke in a casual way about his marriage situation.
                                                                                
Case 5
Woman, 30, ankylosing spondylosis.
She has pains in her hips, sacroiliac joints, and dorsal region; a feeling of cramps and stabbing as from knives, as if overexerted, < citrus fruits, < turning in bed. The spondilitis started after an unhappy love affair: she was very much in love but her partner was not, and he had other affairs. She continued the relationship despite the advice of all her friends. She felt closed in, standing stiff with her arms along her body; she could not express herself for fear he would not like her anymore.
The ankylosing spondilosis, as an auto-immune disease, is an indication for Lanthanides. The disease started after an unhappy love affair, indicating Sulphur. The way she handled the situation was like a forcing: even when he clearly was not in love and had other affairs, she still tried to keep the relation going. This ‘forcing’ aspect is typical of Stage 6.
Case 6
Woman, 40, polymyalgia rheumatica.
She has pains in her thighs, lumbar region, sides, and arms, < turning in bed, < walking, unable to do anything. She has arthritis of her hands, metacarpal and proximal interdigital joints. She is tired; she wakes at 5 a.m. tired, << from having worked too hard for many years in healing massage. She is divorced because she is a lesbian; for many years she wanted to prove with her marriage that she was ‘normal’. She wanted to be independent, to have her own practice and be autonomous but she could hardly relax.
The polymyalgia rheumatica, as an auto-immune disease, is an indication for Lanthanides. For many years, she tried to prove that she was ‘normal’ by being married. Proving oneself is Stage 6; in the marriage, indicates the Sulphur aspect. The desire to be independent and autonomously is typical for Lanthanides, as is her work in healing massage. Waking at 5 a.m. fits Sulphur.
Case 7
Man, 25, psoriasis.
He has psoriasis – itching and scaling on his elbows, ear, eyebrows, and head; it is annoying. It started after a party weekend with lots of alcohol and unsafe sex. He is always looking for challenges, putting himself to the test. He is doing things for the greater cause, starting companies to make the world better. When he was 6 years old, his parents moved and he felt homeless. He was bullied until he hit the biggest of the bullies; since that time, he feels bound by nothing. He likes to be seen as social and warm, and he likes to help people. His parents divorced when he was 13; the children were all that held the marriage together.
He is always looking for challenges, putting himself to the test, which is Stage 6. He is doing things for the greater cause, to make the world better: a Gold series and Lanthanides quality. Since he was 6 years old, he feels bound by nothing, again a Lanthanides theme, but he still wants to be seen as social and warm, which indicates Sulphur.
Case 8
Woman, 40, ulcerative colitis.
She has colitis with thin, bloody stools, < alcohol, < rich food and cream, < stress. She has also stomach pain, squeezing and pain and heaviness in her heart; this is from stress in her marriage. Her husband is jealous, harassing her for days until she gives in and starts crying. She feels he wants to put her in a cage, a box. She has been fighting him to be able to do what she wants, to get her freedom.As a child, she was pleasing others - her parents and teachers – but she was mischievous too, to her sister.She is a homeopath and likes to have deep contact with colleagues and friends. She likes congresses, where she can go out and have a good time with colleagues. It satisfies her need to feel free and to go out. Her biggest fear is to be held down: that provokes the bleeding.
Here again, we see a woman fighting against her husband for her freedom: Neodymium sulphuriucm, or more generally a Lanthanide sulphuricum. The ulcerative colitis is an auto immune disease, a Lanthanide aspect. ‘Deep contact’ fits Lanthanides too, the deep aspect. The ‘fight’ fits stage 6. It could also be Stage 8 or 12, but it is definitely on the left side of the periodic table because she has not yet reached her goal. A confirmation for Stage 6 is her mischievous quality in her youth.
Case 9 Woman, 45, hepatitis C.
The hepatitis came from an injection with antibiotics: it gave her liver pain, a tearing, cutting pain. She has palpitations and her left atrium is dilated. In her first marriage, her husband controlled everything. He was jealous and kept her home. She felt like a bird in a cage; it was a tragedy. They had lots of fights and once she threw a knife at him; he got anxious and she lost all feelings for him. They divorced. In her second marriage, she is the one making all the decisions.
She felt encaged in her marriage. ‘Encaged’ points to Lanthanides; ‘in her marriage’ indicates Sulphur. The ‘fighting her way out’ and ‘getting into freedom’ is an indication for Stage 6. The heart problems and palpitations fit Sulphur.
Case 10
Woman, 60, rheumatoid arthritis.
She has pains in her joints: arms, shoulder, hands, and fingers. She has pain in her left hip, when walking too long and pain in her sacro-iliac joint when rotating her leg. She has had many relationships with men, but when it started to become official she went into resistance, even when she was very much in love. She hated the idea of being bound to a man, feeling that she would not be able to give him what he needed and that she would not be free. She hates being given orders and she has often stood up boldly against authorities on purpose. She hates hypocrisy and lies.
She does not continue relationships when they become official because then she would not be free. ‘Not free’ is a sign of Lanthanides, ‘in a relationship’ points to Sulphur. One could think of Stage 4 in this case because she stops when the relationship becomes official. ‘Official’ is a concept of Stage 4, but even though she has relationships that she does not want to offialise, she continues a few steps further in the relationship. It is more like Stage 6, which we also see in bold behaviour. Bold is a typical aspect of Stage 6. She goes against authority (Lanthanides) on purpose, as if to prove her autonomy.
                                                          
Conclusion In these cases, we can see many aspects coming together.
The theme of auto-immune diseases, as seen in all the cases, points to the Lanthanides: ulcerative colitis, polymyalgia rheumatica, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and ankylosing spondylosis.
The theme of freedom and autonomy is prominent in all cases. This theme is essential for Lanthanides and it plays a central role in the cases: it is the causative factor.
The theme of service is also prominent. Two cases are of homeopaths, another is doing healing massage, and another is starting companies to improve the world. The serving quality is not essential - it is confirmatory, but not always present. Whether it will be expressed depends on the level of evolution of the patient.
In all cases, we can see problems in relationships and marriage; a key factor for Sulphur.
Nine out of the ten cases are women. I think this is not due to the remedy as such, but to our culture. Men have already been independent for a long time in our culture. For women, however, there can still be the need to fight for their autonomy and independence, in relationships and marriage.
What has not been shown in this article is the type of personality of Neodymium sulphuricum. They possess an inner strength. They can even give the impression that they are quite sure of themselves. They have a tendency to hide their insecurity behind an image of boldness and over-confidence. They often have a boyish quality. Lanthanides in general have an androgynous quality, so women tend to look a bit more masculine and they tend to look young.
