Nickle; Niccolum.

Prooving: Quarrelsome, inclined to contradict everyone.

• Vexed and very angry from least contradiction.

• Low-spirited; fears something evil will happen.
• Anxious moroseness and inquietude.

• Trembling and fright with desire for solitude.

Each of these can be broken down to its components, e.g. ...  

In the Repertories the anxiety and fear are that some misfortune is about to happen. His "aversion to company" is expressed as being of a misanthropic nature. His is loquacious and quarrelsome, irritable, easily angered, even violent, cruel and malicious.

On the theme of "despairing" we find much weeping (at night, during sleep, on waking), we find sadness untill evening, and restlesness all the time. He dreams of accidents, esp. to his mother, devils, tombs and death.

Conclusion: This quarrelsome and angry person is no weakling. Whatever is at the root of his suffering is no trifle, and he feels it is getting out of control and may be leading to a profound loss, he may not even be able to protect his mother.

Affinities: Head, Spine.
Minerals: The sulphide forms pentlandite.

Palladium: Pall.

The Palladium character may be a show-off. Life revolves around praise and appreciation.

 
Palladium is at the crosshair of Stage 10 and the Silver Series. Grasping Glitter and Glory. This seems to be reflected in the Rubrics.

• Haughty, wishes to be flattered
• Delusions, tall while walking
• Longing for the good opinion of others.

Haughtiness may alternate with a severe loss of confidence. "Pride comes before a fall". (Veratrum).

• Delusions, she is not appreciated, she is critisized.
• Delusions, He is neglected.

The rubrics below could suggest an impatient, obstinate, overbearing, person who expects to be treated like royalty. It would be unwise to offend her!

• Inclined to use forceful language.
• Abusive. Speech forcible
• Disagreeable mood, tries to be amiable but feels she can't put up with anything. Time passes slowly.

Perhaps the next rubric prooves that all that glitters is not gold ...

• Generals, Sensation of emptiness, as is whole body is hollow.

Affinity: Uterus. Mind.

P5 Strengthens: Fire (Circulatory System)

Platinum: Platina

Cowperthwaite; Acts chiefly upon the nerve centers, depressing the sensorium, and producing in general a tendency to anaesthesia, torpor and paralysis, manifested mostly in women in deranged sexual health, hysterical conditions and melancholia. Low-spirited, sad, apprehensive, inclined to shed tears.

• Sadness, especially in evening, with strong inclination to weep often (every second day) alternating with excessive gaiety and buffoonery.

• Thinks she stands alone in the world.

N. B. Platinum has a natural and Esoteric relationship to Osmium and Iridium. Iridium is clarity, space, emptiness, Platinum is awareness, cognising, evaluation. Osmium is bringing purity into the world. Teaching. The next element in the period, Aurum, like the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, takes responsibility for the political and spiritual welfare of his country.

Carbon
Carbo Animalis

The Carbon (graphites) Homeopath has a gentle and simple approach.

Issues centering around "me", "home" and security. Often found in older people, who, when isolated, have a longing for the past.

The remedy is animal charcoal, which brings to mind a burnt-out, perhaps stagnant, state. They are often chilly and too feeble to experience either pleasure or pain.

Headache, as if head blown to pieces. Feeble circulation. Vital heat sinks, esp. the elderly. Easily strained e.g. from lifting. Joints weak,sprain from slight exertion. Aversion to dry, cold air.

• Nostalgia and mournful feeling of isolation, with tears.
• Weeps during a meal.
• Fear and apprehension, especially in the evening.
• Discouragement and despair.
• Disposition to be frightened.
• Fright in the dark.
• Alternate feeling of gaiety and gloom, or of irascibility and ill-humoured taciturnity.
• Confusion of ideas and dullness, especially in the morning.

Hahnemann was quick to perceive that Graph. was much more than a mere remedy for skin affections. Like that other great skin remedy, Sulphur, Graph proved to be a leading antipsoric. Hahnemann's provings and observations defined its powers over skin affections.

David Lilley describes the sensation of carbon as feeling insignifcant and alone in the vast cosmos, with great potential, and also the awsome responsiblity of creating something. A primordial fear of failure arises. But carbon has endurance, it creates the molecules of life, and their vital force has survived countless disasters and extinctions. Common, grey, graphites never gives up, even when life is grinding drudgery. Its a workaholic! A pawn, susceptible to negative thinking, to PSORA! "I could'v been a diamond!"

The mind, like the skin could be described as thick, hard and difficult to penetrate, as if a barrier prevents outside influences penetrating - the opposite of Phos. Dullness. When thinking is blunt there is irresolution.

There's a lack of sensitiviy and therefore the mind is dull. They shy away from mental work, they cant concentrate, and dont want to think, they just repeat what they are told. Learning is by imprinting. Eventually the mind becomes empty. Because thinking is blunt they doubt themselves, there is irresolution, timidity and many fears.

They are always anticipating difficulties. This results in reslessness, they get worked up very easily, Rubric: "anxiety about trifles", and benfit from some gentle guidance. They cannont take anything lightly and are always nagging their Sulpher partner to tidy up. She avoids confrontation, and will crash plates in the kitchen, if she has to air a grievance it will be with a flood of tears, rather than shouting. They tend to be pessimistic about the future and often worrying about some small misfortune. Rubrics: "Ailments from anticipation" or "Despair about Trifles", and suddenly feel better if they can talk to someone about it, (slates and pencils are used for commuication).

They can be fat and tired, often villagers or labourers, they make good carers. Their family is the bedrock of life. They are often carers. There is no deep mental pathology other than blandness. They can be quite happy, and nostalgic in their sadness, Rubric: "Music makes her cry". They suffer berevement badly.

They tend to adopt traditional values and the family is their bedrock of life. This makes them good carers.

A person needing Grapites may have memory loss.

Its special characteristic is; "Eruptions oozing out a thick, honey-like fluid".

• Dejection, sadness and profound melancholy with discouragement and much weeping.
• Feels miserably unhappy.
• Despair over trifles
• Anxious agitation (with inclination to grief, anxiety about the future), sometimes when seated at work, or at night.

The charactersistics of excitability along with irresolution may mean that they can get stuck in a groove. Hahnemann: "He knows not how to stop talking about a thing".

"Scattered" and "Divided" may imply some deep confusion or unresolved issue on a personal identity level. Perhaps a remedy for "coming out?"

A feeling of being lost in one's home town could be a symptom of feeling different and isolated.

Acts especially upon the skin and mucous membranes, producing irritation.

Follows Nit-ac, soothing the emotions.

• Quarrelsome. Great fearfulness; easily frightened (Nux v., Op.).
• Feeling of helplessness
• Loss of consciousness. Very forgetful, and disinclined to think.
• Delirium, thinks another person lies alongside of him, or that he is double, or one limb is double.
• Delusion, body was scatterd about.
• Irresolution; loses his way in well-known streets.

Sil. Silicea. Pure Flint.

"The Silica Homeopath has a delicate approach".

Clarke; A large proportion of the Earth's crust is formed of silica. sea sand ( Silica marina) is mainly composed of it. The spicules of many sponges are made up of Silica. They are very delicate and refined. Silicates are taken up by plants and from them Silica is often deposited on the surface or in the interior of their stems. The strength of straw is due to Silica.

There is a lack of self-confidence. Primordial Defencelessness (like Calcera). A deep need for "support" ...

• Magntised, desires to be.

• Delusions, Everything will fail
• Delusions, Injury is about to receive.

The Silica child (or adult) soon droops, resulting in a bad temper ...

• Inquietude and ill humour on the least provocation, arising from excessive nervous debility.

• Contradiction, is intolerant of

They dig-in, and appear obstinate, because they need you to agree, they get stuck on these little arguments, perhaps because there is a deeper fear of being alone in their delusion, out on a limb:

• Remorse about trifles
• Scruples of concience (about trifles).

• Confusion mind, conversation agg.

This covering up of an inner weakness is profoundly and typically Sycotic. They have to portray the right image. They feel vunerable about appearing in public, and dread being put to the test - Exams! They are so desperate to get it right and "fit in". When they do fit in they like to stay comfortably within their limits. Algebra and Geometry are way ouside their comfort zone! There is a lack of stamina, and corresponding fear of exertion, they might manage to play cricket though!

Sil. is a great evacuant. Sil. produced in the provings sensation of "splinter in the finger," of "a pin in the throat," and whenever foreign bodies have became embeded in the tissues Sil. will set up suppuration in the vicinity and bring about their expulsion. Cowperthwaite: The chief property of Silicia is its power to produce a suppurative process, either in soft tissues, in the periosteum, or in the bone itself.

A curious symptom and one of great value is this : Fixed ideas : the patients thinks only of pins, fears them, searches for them, and counts them carefully".

• Delusions, fear of pins

According to Teste, Sil. is the "chronic" of Puls. The symptoms of Sil. differ from those of Puls. in being more constant, more deep seated, and lasting longer ; for instance, the mucous secretions of Puls. become more purulent under the action of Sil. Teste points out that Puls. flourishes best on sandy soils (as Bell. does on Calcareous soils). You could also think of Silica as a harder, thinner version of Calc.

Relationships with the Plant Kingdom: Compare with Pulsatilla ...

• Effeminate
• Hypocrasy

The Argentum Homeopath will impress you ...

Palladium and Argentum are at the peak of performance.

Rajan suggests that these people are intellectuals who like to demonstrate their understanding. Silver is showy, so presentation is the thing. Perhaps Ken Wilber is an up-to-the-minute example. He presents the wisdom of Tibet in an attractive modern context, and his sophisticated, well-heeled audience drinks it in. Silver is also ductile and soft. When drawn out into a triangle, as an instrument, it give a clear, perfect note.

On the other hand, just as silver tarnishes, Arg. met. symptoms destroy the very basis of the orators performance; the larynx is affected, (very traditional remedy for throat and larynx) and other symptoms include dullness, poor memory, difficulty thinking and prostration from mental exertion, especially in intellectuals. The performer becomes an introvert. The moment he relaxes he looses interest ...

• Thoughts, control of, lost, sitting while

• Nervous shocks when tired, when falling asleep. Easily disturbed and annoyed.

Kent: "It is an anti-psoric, and from its symptoms I believe to be an anti-sycotic. It goes deep into the life. It especially affects the nerves. It affects the brain in a profound manner, bringing about changes and a gradual softening. The memory, the intellectual part of man is disturbed increasingly to imbecility, it affects his ability to reason."

• Delirious rage (mania; after epilepsy).
• Ill-humour and aversion to talking.

There are sensations of rending and tearing pains in the nerves. Lack of vital heat and sensitivity.

Acts prominently upon the mucous membranes of the digestive, respiratory and genito-urinary tracts.

Minerals: The sulphide forms argenite. V5 P5

Description: Before any pathology they are the people who enjoy life. Money, going out, love, sex. In Photography Silver salts react to light - darkening. Hence the idea: "Silver - exposed to life". Silver salts record the image - a connection to memory.

Like Argentum there is disturbance of memory and reason. It can be used as an acute for anticipatory anxiety, e.g. for exams or interviews.

The are lots of imaginations and illusions, so he can be quite irrational. He has an inflow of troubling thoughts, which torment and make him anxious. Strange, irrational Impulses and Repetitive ideas, such as fear of heights - because of the impulse to jump.

• Delusions, everyone must hurry.
• Delusions, die while walking, which makes him walk faster.

• Delusions, Soda Water, thinks he is a bottle of. (Bottles it!)

On every level there are expressions of
    TENSION << === >> RELAXATION

They don't want to show any sign of weakness (sensations of crumbling or falling apart). Falling apart shows weaking mental control.

They dont want any restrictions. They need an escape route in case they have to get away.

In the end he realizes he anxieties are foolish and is possessed with the distressing idea that all his udertakings will fail.

• Delusion, forsaken, neglected or even despised

The Cuprum Homeopath has a scientific or classical approach.

 
Kent: Pre-eminently a convulsive medicine. The convulsive tendency associates itself with almost every complaint that Cuprum creates and cures. It has produced a variety of mental symptoms: delirium, incoherency of speech loss of memory. It has a great variety in its delirium, incoherent prattling, talking of all sorts of subjects incoherently.

• Convulsive laughter. Incoherent, delirious talk.
• Mildness, alternating with obstinacy.

In cholera there is exhaustive vomiting and diarrhoea, coldness and collapse. (Camphor is the coldest Cholera remedy; the Camphor patient is as cold as death, in a Veratrum cholera there is profuse sweating). The spasms of Cuprum overshadow all other symptoms. There is violence in all the symptoms.

From the above symptoms, such as spasms and convulsions Rajan derived the theme of experiencing "paraoxysmal attacks".

Cramping on a mental level, manifests duties, rules and discipline ...

• Imagines he is a military commander

... or sometimes from suppressed anger, a lack of these, a desire to be escape and be independant, manifesting as ambition and even behavioural problems. The nerves are wound up so that he wants to do something dreadful. Restless and tossing about.

• Melancholy, with attacks of extreme anguish, like fear of death; restlessness, groaning, and desire to escape.
• Anxiety and tears, alternating with buffoonery.

"The Aurum Homeopath take personal responsibility for your recovery".

Kent: "All the affections that are natural to a healty man are perverted ... one of the fundamental loves, which is the love of living, of self-protection is perverted, and he loaths life, is weary of life, longs to die and seeks methods to commit suicide... there is an absolute loss of enjoyment of everything."

• Melancholy, with inquietude and desire to die.
• Sad, feels that all is against her and life is not desirable, and the thought of death alone gives pleasure.

The causes of such a state are ailments from grief, disappointed love, or prolonged anxiety - perhaps from unusual responsibility or financial loss. Its ground, for example, may arise from a childhood where unusual and unrealistic parental expectations could not be fulfilled. The child learns that nothing can please, and that he is on his own, he becomes an emotional Tank! It is a lonely, forsken feeling.

There is great self-condemnation, self-reproach and self-criticism. Imagines he cannot succeed in anything.

• Sees obstacles everywhere. Hopeless.

He imagines he has neglected something, his friends, and failed in his duty, and sinned away his day of grace.

• Imagines he has lost the affection of his friends; this makes him weep.

Aurum is an important heart remedy.

• Violent palpitation; anxiety, with congestion of blood to head and chest after exertion; pulse small, feeble, rapid, irregular; visible beating of cartoid and temporal arteries (Bell., Glon.).

Compare with Mercury - another heavily Syphilitic remedy. In Ayurveda the two are very close. It is followed well by Syphilinum. In Aurum there is carius destuction of hard tissues and arthritic inflammations of joints and exotosis (bone tumors). There can be very putrid discharges. If Aurum is said to be an anti-syphalitic remedy (Agrawal, Sankaran), how can we demonstrate that this assertion is true? The Syphilinum nosode represents the core of the Syphalis Miasm so let's compare it with Aurum. We should find some significant correspondences.

Synopsis: Aurum's Throat Chakra can be blocked and deficient when it come to expressing his innermost concerns (but not necessarily so when giving orders).

Aurum may suffer a loss of the connection with his innermost feelings as a result of grief and self-reproach. When we reproach ourselvs we withdraw from love and protect our Heart Chakra with barriers, these feelings also rob us of the enjoyment and connection to our pleasurable feelings of the Sacral Chakra.

An excess in the third chakra gives us will-power, but the excess energy is sometimes expressed as anger.

"The Mercury Homeopath charts and measures everything. His amusing quips contain glimpses of the truth."

There are two Remedies:
1) Mercurius Oxydulatus Niger: Mercurius solubilis Hahnemanni.
2) Mercurius Vivus. Metallic Mercury. Quicksilver.

The only metal that is a liquid at room temperature. It demonstrates dissolution of form, transformation and change. If dropped It spreads and scatters into countless little drops then coalesces - It can't stand up for itself! The coalescence is said to symbolise new beginnings. It is used in refining Gold. It reacts with Gold by eating into it and degrading it by forming a Hg <->Au amalgam. On boiling Hg recondenses. In the body it is extreemly poisonous, amalgamating with fibres and tissues, creeping into them, eating them away, causing degeneration and necrosis.

There is no adhesion. Mercury only amalgamates in special circumstances of trust, and then it mirrors the image back, e.g. a worrying, precocious child who mirrors adulthood. He becomes like the other person and can only trust those who mirror himself. Philip Bailey coined the concept of a "neutraltity of personality", meaning that his sense of selfhood becomes swamped by impressions. He becomes like you.

The mind is scattered, full of distractions and images, but with a sharp focus on one thing at a time. The endurance and continuity of the personality and memory is poor. Under stress they fall apart. The ability to focus sharply is almost photographic. He takes in the details, compartmentalises them in byte-size bits, and then comes to a conclusion quickly. Some of the images arise from the subconscious realms, they can be Junian, magical and psychic, and come with a sense of power.

Before pathology Mercurius, (Quicksilver) is full or gossip and chatter, sharp and quick, e.g. Entertainers or Salesmen who must live on their wits. Never off-guard. Hence a tendancy to become sceptical and suspicious.

They are often writers and entertainers, communicators of the chat show, the gossipy type. The ability to amalgamate black and white can bring an awareness of truth (Hamlet). The Merc-Sol person needs to communicate, to trust you, talk and amalgamate, but as soon as they feel uncomfortable they "split", and detatch themselves.

They can easily be harmed because the sense of solidity of self is easily vanquished. Paranoid, and tormented by stress, (eaten away, again?) they feel that everyone is against them and the only safe place is home! The develop very good defences. Mercury has a narrow comfort zone of psychological comfort, needs to be settled, no drafts, no exertion! Its best defence is attack ... (Syphilis kills the patient!)

Mercurius is heavy. The mind SLOW, with a lack of reactive power (Vithoulkas), but there is an anxious hurried feeling. This, with Mercuries' instablity, gives rise to secret impulses - to strike out. It gets worse ... they begin to feel surrounded by enemies.

• Delusion, everyone is an enemy.

• Suicidal. Murderous.: Dreams of getting up a revolution

• Aggravation from contradiction, with an impulse to kill

There is a relationship between thier inner fearful state and an outer stae of violence. There are control issues, aggressive dreams, and impulses such as to go on the rampage and kill, beat, destroy - with a blunt instrument. They dream of flying away - to escape (escape, attempts to).

• Apprehensions. Desire to flee with nightly anxiety and apprehensions.

• Hastiness, hurry, with the reslessness. Rapid talk. Time seems to pass slowly.

There is tremor of head, of hands, of tongue. It is the tremor of weakness and paralysis; The mind is as weak and tremulous as the body; everything is done hastily. Hurried and rapid talking. On the other hand: slow in answering questions; loss of memory; of will power. Imbecility.

• Great anguish, restlessness, and agitation, with fear of losing the reason, or with excessive internal torment, principally in evening, or in bed at night, as if conscious of having committed some crime. (Postpartum mania; wants to throw child on fire)

Feelings of self-disgust.

Loss of boundaries inwards;

Sonja Doyle:

Germ-m is close to Carcinosin. Germanium is more conscious about its anger. He feels bitterness and rancour within. Carcinosin appears as a conciliating and consenting prisoner. Germanium is perfectionist in order to gain good opinion from others. Carcinosin has a taste for the beautiful and perfect.

Germanium has a poor opinion of himself but still craves appreciation from others and simultaneously keeps a sense of pride (= paradox). There is bitterness but it stays within, it cannot come out. It is this rancour that stops the patient to like themselves and believe in themselves.

Germanium is the mixture of the straightjacket of Carcinosin, the rancour of Nitric Acid, the self depreciation of Lac-can and the sensitivity and dignity of Staphysagria.

• Emotions are felt with intensity but cannot come out or are kept under strict control.
• Suppressed anger or explosion of anger. No remorse.
• Fear of being criticised.
• Feeling of isolation
• Dreams of being invaded, a prisoner, in Hell.

Nitric Acit [Nit-ac]

The Nit-ac state is said to have a fighting spirit, a frenzy for life, even. When they are enjoying life they are jolly and sharing. When it all goes wrong they are unforgiving and brew up resentment, eventually becoming very pessimistic and negative. "Les Miserables". They won't do anything. Life feels like a prison. A feeling of being defeated pervades their mood, and when they blame others there can be real hatred.

Kent gives us the classical picture: Nit-ac is sad and broken hearted. He says the world is against him and that he has no friends left. There is a struggle going on between a desire to die and a fear of death. He feels estranged among his friends. He is disgusted with life; is sad, anxious, sleepless, and has frightful dreams. Everything disappoints him and he is irritable.

Great general weakness; feeble reaction; extreme sensitivity and nervous trembling are marked features in this remedy. He is angered over his own mistakes. mistakes. Anger with trembling.

Patients greatly broken by long suffering pain and sickness physical more than mental suffering finally anemia and emaciation are marked. Sensitive to cold; always chilly.

Prostration of mind. Any effort to reflect on certain things causes the thoughts to vanish. A general indifference to all matters; tired of life; has no enjoyment in anything; aggravated before menses.

Some patients as soft and flabby, it is related to Calcera (?). It is anti- syphilitic and anti-sycotic.

Kent: Nitric acid has a sickly face, yellow, sallow, and sore eyes, and fissures in the corners of the eyes and mouth.

Close observation of a stressful anecdotal incident (after Dr Sehgals "Rediscovery of Homeopathy" method)

Our reactions at times of stress are interesting because they demonstrate our uncompensated inner feelings as they surface as observable behaviour.

[1] Our client was leaving Hospital after a painful examination and a worrying difference of opinion with her surgeon (survival or protection issue) when she was accosted (the way she felt) by a repulsive (in her view) sounding guy asking for spare change.

[2] She told him she hadn't got any and when he insisted she told him to "Go away".

[3] The encounter only concluded when she told him to "F* off".

It could happen to anyone of course, and we may, or may not have, perceived the situation that way. Lets assume that her reaction is an expression of her inner state and collect a bag of rubrics.

Derived Rubrics

[1] After seeing her surgeon and during the encounter she developed a feeling of
"Sadness, taciturn" p209

[2] During the exchange she developed a reaction of
"Spoken to, averse to being" p223

[3] Because of her disappointment with the surgeon plus the escalating exchange of un-pleasantries with the guy the state quickly developed into
"Discouraged, cursing" p50 (Single Rubric nit-ac)
"Rudness" p204
"Slander, disposition to" p219

Later, on reflection, she was left with the state
"Hatred, persons who have offended".

(Some of the rubrics have close meanings, they are offered as alternatives. Identical rubrics are not additive ;-)

All that from an exchange that would'v been over in 30 Seconds! This state can develop when we are in danger (Sankaran, Soul); here from the life threatening difference with the surgeon. The incident with guy, above, just brought the state to the surface. This is is not depth psychology, its just real-time observation of a developing state. Is it merely Acute prescribing? Regardless of Miasmatic Analysis the Present, Persisting and Predominating Symptoms reflect the imbalance in the body. I see Miasmatic Analysis (Depth and Pace) as more of a diagnostic checking toolkit.

It is worth emphasising that Nitrogen and Oxygen are proximal to Phos. in the periodic table. In Phos. the state can be lively (fireworks!) - like the Nitrogen Compounds (explosives!). The acids, (which contain Oxygen) are axiomatic of exhausted, "burnt out" states (compare with Phos-ac, which is a "deadened" state).

Picric Acid

Picric acid was first mentioned in the alchemical writings of Johann Rudolf Glauber in 1742. Initially, it was made by nitrating substances such as animal horn, silk, indigo, and natural resin. It is an explosive, chrystalline yellow solid.

In Homeopathy it is used for brain fag, in worn out systems. There is a tired heavy feeling all over. It also affects the kidneys giving a throbbing headache which is worse from moving the eyes, whch my help overworked students.

Phos. Phosphorous.

"The Phos Homeopath approaches you in a sharing and intimate manner!"

In the Phosphorous personality the Ego is well developed but lacks boundaries, but because of this they are impressionable and outgoing.

• Scattered (can't get it together!)
• Thinks he is several pieces, and cannot adjust the fragments.

The Phosphorus patient is very sensitive to all external impressions; Phos. can be a genuine clairvoyant and may feel more spiritually gifted than "others". She feels other peoples anxiety. Because she is aware of their feelings she is capable of close friendships. She wants to please, and can go too far and then feels hurt if her sensitivity is not reciprocated.

The lack of boundaries makes the sense of "I" vunerable. Solitude does not agree, they can be quite frightenend on their own.

• Anguish and uneasiness, especially when alone, or in stormy weather, principally in evening, with timorousness and fright.
• Frightened easily, weeping amel.
• Delusions: dead people sees
• Sympathy, desires for

• Affections of the mind in general; amativeness; dizziness of the mind.
• Laughs at serious things.
• Nymphomania.

• Stupor from which he could be aroused for a moment only to lapse back into a muttering lethargy; and forgetfulness.
• Great apathy; very sluggish; dislike to talk; answers slowly or not at all.

Phos. is sensitive to slight odors, noises, touch. Slight causes (e.g. the effort of coughing) lead to exhaustion of either body or mind and even trembling throughout the body. Flashes of temper. The clairvoyant state can degenerate towards insanity.

• Excitability keeping him awake at night. Violent imaginations.

Kent: Chlorotic girls who have grown too rapidly and have suddenly taken on weakness pallor green sickness with menstrual difficulties. The loss of boundaries extends to the blood vessels, "Hemorrhagic constitutions".

In the Plant Kingdom: Bell, Bry, Lyc, Nux, Puls follow well. A devastated Phos. girl could get into an Ignatia state (or even Nat. Mur). At the menopause, if she's chronically worn out the state could be Sepia.

"The Arsenicum Homeopath considers the relevance of every detail with his analytic mind".

Introduction; Coulter Concepts:

Arsenicum individuals are well known for fastidiousness. Not only in tidiness, but on a level of self-perfection. Everything must be word-perfect, grammar and spelling are a source of endless agonising, and if he can't produce a masterpiece he abandons it. Life is a trail of abandoned projects. If she can't keep the kitchen perfectly clean she is so frustrated that she just gives up (to Hell with it!).

This agonising process can lead to despair and self-hate to the point of suicide. He will rejoice if a colleage makes a mistake. He indulges in this competitive misanthropy because it makes his shortcomings seem slighly less serious, less glaring. He is typically very irritable, critical and sarcastic, especially if you don't see the point.

The anxiety when something is expected of him is terrible. It is felt physically. This fear of making a mistake can manifest as fear of being late, missing the train etc. The Arsenicum businessman worries about the future, and about past business deals, how he could'v done better, and constantly revises his strategy. Work becomes a substitute for an emotional life. If the anxiety extends to health, he becomes a hypochondriac, with all sorts of heath fads and theories, and the well known fear of contamination. It can extend to others, to the school-run for example. The fear can extend to death. It appears that an Arsenicum state can be provoked by whitnessing death.

Rubric analysis

The dread of death is behind the pathology of the Miser and other arsenicum states.
She worries about hersef and her possessions, her friends and her money. She's always calculating the interest.

There is a deep sense of insecurity. A sense of being vunerable gives rise to dependancy and a need for support.

• FORSAKEN, feeling, beloved not by parents, wife, friends
• ANXIETY, anticipation, from, an engagement
• ANXIETY, expected of him, when anything is

• FASTIDIOUS

• FEAR, alone, of being, lest he die

Despair, hopelessness, unutterable misery. The irritability and sadness of malarial cachexias; of the cachexias of quinine, mercury, and syphilis.

Burning is another of the leading characteristics of Arsenic. No other remedy has it in more pronounced degree.

States of lowered vitality. The prostration of Arsen. is remarkable.

• Great Prostration, with rapid sinking of the vital forces;

Ozone O₃

Oxygen compounds such as Oxides of Metals and Acids show signs of burn-out or exhaustion. Example: A Phos. Student who burns out may enter a Phosphoric Acidum state. This is consitent with Scholten's image of column 16, and is certainly true of Sulpher.

Oxygen is in Row 2, which is characterised by early development, perhaps as early as in the trauma of drawing the first breath as Dr Chatterjee suggests.

"The Sulpher Homeopath fits you into his theory".

Sulphur throws things out, like the Vital Force itself, it has a centrifugal energy. There is heat, fire and volcanic action in Sulphur, and like a volcano we also see images of smoldering, decay and extinction.

In molecular biology, disulphide bonds, (-S-S-) hold polypeptide chains in shape. Without these bonds, the DNA helix, ezymes etc, would be mush! Decomposing Sulphur compounds smell awful! (Sulphur skin problems are yellow, creamy and smell of rotten eggs!)

The Central Delusion - Scholtens Stage 16 – Decay, In the Rubric: “He is disgraced”, or socially scorned. The extreemist view (Ellis; REBT) is that "I absolutly must be treated with respect", which leads to the self-defeating belief that "I will feel worthless".

In children the Vital Force is strongest, and gives the clearest picture. Like "Dennins the Menace" (Lilley), high spirited and mucky, but hate water! Teenagers are rebels, with fiery passions, sexy and always looking for a quick fix of something or other.

Adults have pride, and a great ego, which leads to arrogance. He makes his own rules. He is quick with money, and jumps from project to project without completing anything, using his intelligence to avoid real work. If something goes wrong, the volcanic psyche may erupt ... its your fault! His deep spiritual speculation is centered around his own salvation.

- Progression to Chronic States

Quite indifferent to others, he’s either too lazy or too tired to get involved. The central delusion “He is Disgraced” shows that at this stage, deep down his pride is vulnerable and he worries.

The Rubrics bring out many aspects of decay and worry, e.g. "Anger about his mistakes", may indicate the stress he experiences.

Clarke; Hahnemann found in Sul. the homoeopathic counterpart of the peculiar constitutional dyscrasia which tends to manifest in itch like eruptions, and which he named Psora. Sul. is the chief of the antipsoric remedies.

It is this property of Sul. to divert to the surface constitutional irritants which renders it the chief of Hahnemann's antipsorics. Sul. has also an antipsoric action independently of its power of "bringing out" rashes.

A key to many of the Sul. conditions is to be found in an irregular distribution of the circulation : flushes of heat ; rush of blood to head, chest, heart ; The other side of this feeling of fulness is a feeling of emptiness. "Faint, sinking, all gone sensation at 11 a.m".

" Worse By heat" is another keynote of Sul." Worse At night" is scarcely less characteristic. Sul. is related to both the sun and the moon, which makes it one of the most important of periodics.

Disturbances that affect the sense of identity result in compensation, an effort to cope with the situation
• AILMENTS FROM - embarrassment
Social Worth (Love beauty and harmony, especially in themselves). Situation: The fiery teenager, the rebel, easily hurt turns into the sloppy student who shambles along, making a target of himself.
• FANATICISM [10Rx]
Social Worth (compensation) . Situation: The adult tries to keep up an appearance of achievement, bolstering up his self image, perhaps by a show of wealth.
• DELUSIONS - clothes * beautiful are, similar theme on IMBECILITY - old rags are as fine as silk
Social Worth (Loss of presentation.) Situation: Things are definitely going downhill, he has his own rules, and can't see the point of making any changes.

If sense of identity and self-worth are heavily disturbed Sulphur looses heart.

• LAZINESS - evening
Self Worth (Becoming self-centered). Situation: His marriage is secure, but romance has gone. He's always tired, and cant be bothered to nurture the relationship.
• FOOLISH behaviour - happiness and pride
Self Worth (Fear of an inner sense of failure). Situation: The young adult with pride fantasizes about his good qualities, no effort to develop any real depth of character.
• INDIFFERENCE - appearance, to his personal similar theme
• INDIFFERENCE - welfare of others, [20Rx]
Social Worth (Laziness and Complacency. Diminishing effort.) Situation: The adult in the failed stage, lets everything "go to hell". Things outside his own world seem unreal, and he looses contact.
• ANXIETY - salvation about * scruples religious
Self Worth (A sense that time has been wasted on speculation) Situation: Finally, in old age his sense of disgrace surfaces as remorse, and perhaps real fear, he has no real compassion or spirituality.

The Substance: A weak but quite corrosive acid. When present in air it tastes sour and there is some eye and respiratory infammation. It penetrates skin quickly. After exposure it reacts with Ca and Mg ions, anywhere in the body e.g. in bone, liver and nerves. It is sold as a household rust remover.

The Acid Ion (Hydroflouric Acid) adds restlessnes and exhaustion to the picture.

Extinction of values runs through the Remedy

Kent on Flouric Acid ...

Fluoric acid is suitable in that state like Picric acid and Sepia and these medicines are particularly suited to that condition of enfeeblement of the mind and that disorder of the human economy that makes man so low that we have the state described as low mindedness. It takes that form in one who is a sort of debauch running after all sorts of things to tickle his fancy but it takes another form in a man who stays at home with his good wife.

He takes an aversion to his children and to his dearest friends and his wife that is he has lost that true and noble and orderly affection and friendship and companionship which ought to exist and he fights against it. An orderly man considers his wife his best friend and he would rather stay with her than go anywhere else. To him there is no place like home.

Now when man arrives at the state when he wants to go somewhere else that he wants to go away from home that he is disturbed at home that everything annoys him at home that he no longer loves his children as he once did he needs Fluoric acid.

Clarke; "A constant, irresistible desire to walk in the open air; it dose not fatigue," is characteristics of Fl. ac.

A glance at the rubrics shows that the mind has lost its sense of purpose:

• delusions, imaginations; betrothal, engagement must be broken:
• aversion; parents, to

• delusions, imaginations; servants, must get rid of
• fearlessness; danger menaced him, as if, but without fear

Threatened Relationships: Clarke: Cannot remember names of people he sees, or if he sees the names cannot remember the person.

Threat to Sanity: Allen: His mind is terribly affected; he is afraid of becoming insane; thinks it is impossible to get through it; everything seems confused; at the same time he cannot remember anything; worse the second day.

Threat to Memory: Allen: The difficulty of recalling names when he sees the persons is far worse, besides, what is not so common, that of recollecting persons when he sees their names (second day).

Kent's picture focuses on Diptheria and laryngitis:

The glands of the neck the parotid the sublingual the submaxillary are enormously enlarged and very hard. So weak is he gradually becoming that he has an "aversion to every kind of work; to reading. Takes no interest in household duties." Becomes indifferent. Very tired.

An underlying feature of Brom. is especially for individuals that are made sick from being heated. Also complaints that come on after a very hot day in summer. Getting overheated. But after the complaint comes on, no matter where it is, he is so dreadfully sensitive to cold that a draught of cool air freezes him to the bones; but he cannot stand being over-heated.

Burt [Physiology]; Iodine, through the organic nervous system, acts upon the whole lymphatic and glandular system, especially centering upon the thyroid, mesenteric glands, mamma, ovaries, and testicles.

At first, it stimulates them to increased action; as shown by the congestion of the ovaries, producing menorrhagia; in the testicles, by increase of sexual appetite; the salivary glands, by salivation; the liver, by increased biliary secretion; the pancreas, by increased secretion, and so on throughout all of the glands, including those of the mucous membranes.

This hyper-stimulation is soon followed by depression of the most marked character, with great emaciation, both local and general, which is the leading feature of the action of this drug.
