(Atacaremos en esta nota las mas conocidas disfunciones masculinas, impotencia, eyaculacion precox, ausencia de deseo o deseo incontrolable, dejando para la proxima entrega las disfunciones sexuales femeninas) Que maravilla es la sexualidad humana cuando se ejercita en el marco del Amor y las sanas costumbres!! Como cambia el humor, la experiencia de vida, como mejora el estado de animo de las personas normales cuando pueden ejercer sin limites ese increíble regalo que nos dio la Naturaleza al hacernos macho y hembra, al poner en nosotros la llama del Deseo, el afán de la Búsqueda, la Eterna unión inmemorial en aras de la Reproducción o simplemente del Goce!! Pero no todos pueden disfrutar de tan mágico regalo, hombres y mujeres por igual se ven impedidos por síntomas, por dolencias, por problemas que hacen que aquello que prometía ser el Paraíso se convierta en el Infierno del Dolor y la Vergüenza.- Aparecen en esta zona tan sensible los fantasmas de la prohibición y del pecado, que impiden el sano ejercicio de la Sexualidad sin limites y entonces muchas veces se recurre a drogas ‘’heroicas’’ de la farmacopea alopática y se medica verdaderamente ‘’a pasto’’con

antidepresivos para la eyaculacion precoz y Viagra para la impotencia, dejando así en la delicada configuración de estos órganos tan sensibles, la Marca, la Impronta de estas substancias que lejos de curar se convierten rápidamente en ‘’adictivas’’ dejando al paciente prisionero crónico de un consumo forzoso y oneroso, de un síntoma que ya no remite si no es con la sustancia indicada (y cada vez en mayor dosis) para regocijo de los Laboratorios y sufrimiento del corazón y el bolsillo del Hombre que padece.- Lógicamente muchos se rebelan contra esta nueva injusticia, los conocen las bondades delnotratamiento homeopático llevado a cabomas por aun un profesional humanizado, que atiende a números si no a personas, que nunca esta apurado sino que sabe esperar, que sabe no solo oír si no escuchar...escuchar bien la trama angustiante de la frustración sexual.- Y si esta escucha personalizada se acompaña con los poderosos remedios que nos legara Samuel Hahnemann ningún milagro es imposible, ninguna curación se hace remota y vuelve rápidamente y sin dependencia, la vieja y querida alegría que la sexualidad nos brinda para beneficio de la Pareja Humana... El Remedio Constitucional sabiamente elegido muchas veces basta para devolver el bienestar al hombre acosado por problemas sexuales, cuantas veces una sola toma de Lycopodium devuelve la potencia añorada en aquellos que coinciden con sus síntomas, cuantas veces una sola toma de Selenium levanta el miembro rebelde que se esconde avergonzado, cuantas veces unos pocos glóbulos de Sulphur restauran fácilmente lo que nunca debería suceder....pero sucede!!!! Sabemos que la Damiana ( Turnera Afrodisiaca) es capaz de devolver el brillo del Deseo a unos ojos que ya no miraban al sexo, y que prodigios hace Staphisagria cuando la masturbacion hizo perder las erecciones y quedo como resultado una persona facilmente ofendidiza que sufre las palabras como heridas cortantes.- Agnus Castus (del griego y el latin : Casto) sabe retardar las eyaculaciones hasta limites insospechados, por algo los guerreros Romanos dejaban esas hojas en la vagina de sus mujeres cuando partian por meses enteros a la guerra!!! Que poderosos son los antipsicoticos Thuya y Nitric Acidum cuando la falencia sexual es subsecuente a una gonorrea, cuando ‘’lloro el nene’’, la típica blenorragia maltratada y suprimida, atrayendo nuevamente el ‘’carisma ‘’sexual tan anhelado. Como olvidarnos de Bryonia con este ‘’keynote’’verdaderamente inolvidable ‘’deseos intensos de evacuar antes del coito’’...’’diarrea antes del coito’’que verdaderamente sorprendente es la sabia Homeopatia Unicista.- Y así como la ausencia de deseo, la falta de erección (que no es lo mismo!) o la eyaculación incontrolable, ingobernable y frustrante encuentran su panacea sin contraindicaciones en los blancos globulitos dinamizados, sabiamente elegidos según la ‘’totalidad de los síntomas’’, también la excesiva sexualidad, la obsesión por la lujuria, la ‘’adiccion al sexo’’ mas dolorosa que la peor de las torturas encuentra rápido y eficaz alivio en los conocidos remedios del ‘’Don Juan’’conquistador insaciable que nunca dice ‘’basta!’’ dejando un tendal de corazones heridos a su paso...el suyo propio en primer lugar!!! Como cambia todo ese funesto cuadro ‘’Fluoric Acidum’’ cuando concuerda en su patogenesia, como vuelve a la salud el ‘’picaflor’’ aventurero y pasa a ejercitar su en sexualidad responsablemente, busca pareja estable, aprende a cultivar a Eros la Calidad y no en la cantidad!!!!!! Cientos miles de ejemplos podría dar cualquier homeopata, mostrando como se curaron definitivamente dolencias sexuales que con otros sistemas nohomeopáticos se hubieran cronificado para siempre .dejando al paciente atado

a la adicción del Viagra que ya después no se puede abandonar jamás, que exige cada vez una dosis mas fuerte...mas fuerte.... (y mas cara...!!!)Hoy disponemos de un arsenal inigualable de mas de quinientos específicos y Decenas de Constitucionales, que cuando son aplicados con sabio criterio Unicista devuelven al Hombre que Padece lo que el Hombre nunca debería haber perdido...la mas amplia Libertad y Creatividad para disfrutar los Espacios sagrados del Amor y del Goce.- La salud sexual y la curación de las disfunciones sexuales pueden y deben ser de tratadas, solo la Homeopatía sabe hacerlo humanamente en la conjugación una escucha verdaderamente atenta y poderosas substancias dinamizadas de efecto seguro y no-adictivas.Lic Norberto Litvinoff [email protected] [email protected] Publicado el: 27 enero, 2008 •

Twelve Basic Personality Types

Homeopathic Archetypes: Six Genotypes, and Six Phenotypes

Notes below on Treating Rape, Abuse, Violation | Book on Homeopathic Personality Archetypes

See also: Homeopathy Science | Counseling Services | Family Constellation Work | Chronic Miasmsand affect personality | Emotions TCMpersonality | Chthonic (Fear) Diseases affect

Homeopathic practitioners have long described their medicines ("remedies") by the "picture" they represent. Most of the literature commonly available about homeopathic remedies presents the negative aspects seen in illness. However there is a growing body of writing that talks about the personality and its attributes in a healthy state as well as under stress or attack by Disease. In the Heilkunst system of homeopathy the existence of the healthy core constitution is central to treatment. This is known as the Genotype. In Catherine Coulter's book there are excellent descriptions that include material on the healthy core constitution. See Coulter book, below Note: Personality distortions occur when the body is under attack by Disease, and the core constitution can regress to the Phenotype. See

descriptions of the emotional results of Chronic Miasms and Chthonic Disease. Also, see Autism: The Journey Back. It would be best if an individual had the advice of a professional homeopath such as are available through the Hahnemann Clinic for Heilkunst. However, this information may be of use to anyone interested in a deeper understanding of themselves and others. This information can be very helpful in a person becoming more comfortable with their personality. Reading a book, such as Catherine Coulter's, can help them understand things they might have dismissed or felt were "odd". Knowledge of Archetypes can help a person have more confidence in exploring their unique qualities, seeing how they have developed their archetype in their own unique way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------There is a progression from Emotion-centered to Intellect-centered types: Sulphur/ Pulsatilla/ Phosphorus/ Calcarea/ Lycopodium/ Silica. These have been grouped into two "families" (called "Genotypes" http://www.homeopathy.com/): 1. The Sulphur Family (Sulphur/ Lycopodium / Calcarea carbonica) -- which I understand to be more earthy/emotional, and, 2.The Silica Family (Silicea/ Pulsatilla/ Phosphorus) -- which I understand to be more spiritual/intellectual.

Under stress these decompensate into the following 6 (called "Phenotypes"): "Stasis Neurosis" (Sepia/ Staphysagria/ Lachesis) -- "blockage of energy from the suppressive impingement of the environment", censure from others, etc., and, "Psycho-Neurosis" (Arsenicum/ Natrum muriaticum/ Nux vomica) -- Reich's psychoneurosis: "blockage of energy stemming from internal prohibitions, termed repression".

Genotypes: Sketches of the healthy core homeopathic personality types These contain only a fraction of the details that could be given.

The "online" links include illness-focused descriptions. For more uplifting observations of the homeopathic types in Health, see the books mentioned above. [back to Homeopathy science]

Sulphur Family: Sulphur [online]: (From the element Sulphur) Strong, hot, fiery personality, generous in giving out energies and money. When stressed or ill may show self-aggrandizement, over-taxing his/her ability to give, become dirty, smelly, disorganized. Would rather rip off a button than deal with a challenging buttonhole. Lycopodium [online]: (From Club Moss: protective cover for the earth; dried, burned in science class to make a volcano.) High self-esteem, resilient, adaptable, can burn brightly. When stressed or ill may become detached, distrustful of extremes (intellectual or emotional), avoids confronting problems on deeper levels of relationships. Calcarea carbonica [online]: (From Oyster shell) A pearl, lustrous personality (Mozart, Helen Keller), can be a very hard worker. Understands others, by nature a nurturer. When stressed or ill may become isolated, defensive, obstinate, insecure, lethargic, and inactive.

Silica Family: Silica [online]: (From Sand, quartz) Many facets, durable, holds to principles, conscientious. When stressed or ill may lack animal warmth, cold hands and feet, lasting exhaustion from mental exertion, hard, inflexible, critical of others and self. Pulsatilla [online]: (From the Wind Flower). Delightful personality, radiant, lovely in moving with the winds of events. When stressed or ill may feel blown about, changing mind, dependent on others for support. [May 2008: Has innate sense of the value of human relationships and God's plan for human society. Fairness and support are expectations, and lack of receiving these from society can be extremely distressing.] Phosphorus [online]: (From metallic Phosphorus, which burns brightly) Radiates a captivating energy, spontaneous and calls upon her/his strong psychic extrasensory perception.

Treating Rape, Abuse, Violation

Note on treating some emotional states that may be encountered when working with people in a sexual healing context: These are major assaults on a person's Being, often moving deep into subconscious areas, tissue memories are involved. These can be called Disease and can be treated. Multiple approaches have been pointed to as helping, and I would list PelvicHeart Integration, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Homeopathy and others that I would add totothe listout if contacted by practitioners. There isand hope. There is power available cast the unwanted violating energies, I am convinced one can consider the process as one of scientific administration of energy principles, or consider it a kind of spiritual warfare if they view things in those terms. Some key disturbances/Diseases that can result from these assaults are the Chthonic Diseases. These can create devastating mental and emotional situations that can be treated effectively with homeopathy. Treatment needs to be done in the sequence determined by the principles of the Complete Medical System described on the websites: http://www.homeopathy.com/, and http://www.heilkunst.com/.

CONSTITUTIONAL TYPE When Samuel Hahnemann wanted to determine the effects of a particular but at the time an untested substance, he turned it into homeopathic potency, which in the form of sugary pills he then gave to volunteers who were not told the name of the substance. The person participating in the experiment had to .... write down clearly all his sensations, complaints, attacks and changes in health the moment they occur, noting the time elapsed between the taking of the medicine and the appearance of the symptom... The physician examines the record in the presence of the subject immediately after the experiment is completed... and questions him... about the exact nature of each statement written down... (Hahnemann: Organon, paragraph 139.). The gained material was recorded, compared with other records, andwere notable symptoms a significant percentage of the participants included in therecurring picture ofin the remedy. Similia similibus curantur, the like is cured by the like. The same symptoms that the remedy induced in a healthy person, it can also cure in the case of an illness. Thus through the systematic work of generations of homeopaths, the list

containing detailed descriptions of hundreds of remedies was gradually compiled. From such descriptions, recorded experiments enlarged by more knowledge gained from the treatment, from contacts with the patients and from observing their social behaviour, the homeopathic Materia Medicas were created. The described effects of many remedies included in the Materia Medica also form the picture of a particular constitutional type. Such a type (we could surely call it an archetype) of a person would lean towards aillness. particular way of thinking, behaviour, feelings and,about naturally, a kind of To describe it more vividly, let's find out more the constitutional type we all know from our surroundings (we might even belong to it ourselves), as it is much common among the populace. The persons belonging to this type, and this is a significant trait in their personality, have a deep interest in the alternative methods of treatment and the subjects of spiritual nature. So we could anticipate that they form a part of the readership.

Lycopodium What I have to say about Lycopodium is a synthesis of its main characteristics described in the various Materia Medicas, but it comes also from my own experience with my patients, and moreover it is the result of my research of the social and archetypal relevance of Lycopodium. Included will be topics that cannot be found in the present Materia Medicas. According to one statistical result, Lycopodium is given to about 3% of the patients, which makes it one of the most frequently applied remedies. However we meet with the Lycopodium type more often than this percentage would suggest. Persons of this type tend to be ambitious, intelligent, desirous of success, which they often achieve. They thrive in a competitive environment, competition improves their performance. The Lycopodium type can be found among important Governmental appointees, among top athletes. His or her presence in the Legislative Assemblies is given by the tendency of Lycopodium towards creating systems. The patient of the Lycopodium type is able and masterful in all situations that fall within the system, he solves them in the predictable manner and in accordance with the given rules (legal, moral, professional, etc.) When such rules are absent, he either tries to quickly formulate them or falls into confusion and irresolution. His aim is to get to the top of the system and to rule over others according to his individual properties, either in a democratic manner, but under certain circumstances even in a despotic and dictatorial manner. The basic inception of Lycopodium is strength. He might fall into disease, lacking the strength and ailing, losing, quitting, behaving as a coward; this is also the condition described in the Materia Medicas. Such a description would make the picture of the to relatively somewhat distorted. healthy, he wants display healthy the kindLycopodium of efficiency that would be obviousWhen even from a distance, this show of strength is apparent in his every gesture. He likes to show his muscles, he tends to resolve conflicts either by negotiations within the system he has accepted, or by strength. It is fundamentally

important to the Lycopodium patients that they maintain their "image" under any circumstances. With their health failing, they often feel an inner frailty, which they try to cover up at any cost, perhaps through an exaggerated, would-be strong behaviour. Lycopodium patients may quite often divorce, the Materia Medica lists their inability to psychologically bear close intimacy in life - in such a relationship their inner fragility could be exposed and their outer strong facade may be lost. In an intimate long lasting relationship, impotency occuris in or lower sexual in women - such impotence may however notmen experienced by the capacity Lycopodium patients in the events of casual sexual encounters. This leads some Lycopodium types to frequently change their partners. While a healthy Lycopodium likes to assume responsibilities within the system (such as the director, the Prime Minister, the President of some organisation, etc.) with the advancing pathology there comes the inability to bear responsibilities, avoidance of responsibilities, inconsequential way of living (another reason for frequent changes of partners). A Lycopodium on the decline, while srcinally an extrovert, becomes a loner, which at the same time alarms him. His broad interest in the alternative treatment (including homeopathy), comes to a large degree from the fact that he suspects (justifiably) the orthodox medicine, with its chemicals, from taking away his strength. He also dislikes being subjected to X-rays and similar inner examinations, because it negates his laboriously maintained outer image. Associated with this is his sense of dignity. A Lycopodium must ever be dignified, always guarding his dignity (particularly the exterior semblance of dignity). He thus cannot withstand derision, especially when it concerns some exposed inner weakness. I used to know, but had not treated, an elderly man of the Lycopodium type, who despite not being particularly healthy had not seen a doctor for decades. Even when suffering from serious problems, he kept postponing his visit to a doctor. Finally, pressed by his family, he went there and subjected himself to an X-ray examination. Through the half-open door, however, he saw two doctors looking at the photographs of his entrails, saying "such a thing I haven't seen for a long time", and laughing. This man, hurt by their mockery, instantly left the hospital and returned only years later, when he was about to die. Tendencies of the human type Lycopodium towards autocratic behaviour are quite pronounced with some individuals - for instance the American homeopath George Vithoulkas lists Mussolini as a typical Lycopodium. Traits of Lycopodium are discernible in the behaviour of the leader of Iraq Sadam Husain, etc. These, of course, are the extreme cases - here it is necessary to point out that anybody, any constitutional type, includes the whole scale of degrees of ethics, from the highest to the lowest, from saints to criminals, depending on the level of mental pathology. Husain thus might represent a man on a low level of ethical evaluation and a high level of mental pathology. On the other hand, the high social model of Lycopodium is portrayed in the modern andATV mythsidealistic by the dashing heroes whotime fightwas on Belmondo, the side of law and film justice. typical Lycopodium of his the muscular fighter of the movies, a fleeting lover living inconsequentially, strong and fearless, addicted to powerful and fast cars, ever competing and always winning. The current idealistic Lycopodium on the TV and film

screens is represented to the point and in every detail by Bruce Willis. It is interesting, how perfectly the actor (without any doubt a true Lycopodium) collaborates with the script writer and the director, in forming and building up archetypal situations of quite specific kind. Perhaps the secret of success of many films lies exactly here. From the above it might be concluded that Lycopodium represents a model of behaviour which is unambiguously Nevertheless, population there are numbers of males as masculine. well as females who belonginto the this type. Because of this, Lycopodium women are to a large degree disadvantaged - sometimes they cannot (or even do not want to) aspire to reach the ideals of womanhood established by the society. They are oriented more towards the type of behaviour and activities generally perceived as "masculine". They are industrious and become absorbed in their profession, with energetic behaviour and a strong grip of hand, in family life they try to dominate over their partners or at least claim the rights to the family representation. Because of their desire to accomplish, their houses shine with perfection, their children are well dressed, etc. They organise the family activities, only letting their partners take the decisions that account for new situations, those falling outside the established way of life - for example moving to another house, naming children, etc. When their health is on a decline, first affected usually become the female organs - this is logical, as it is their femininity that Lycopodium women perceive as being their weakness, as something that does not quite agree with their disposition. While in a healthy woman or man, the mental qualities of Lycopodium are expressed only latently or in their creative aspects, in cases of oncoming pathology they might lead even to dramatic confrontations with other people, with their partners, etc. - sometimes to an overall collapse, a surrender, a total withdrawal (which however does not suit them), tearfulness, and to a fast development of chronic physical illnesses.

Characteristically, illnesses of this "masculine" remedial type usually manifest first on the right side of the body, or on the right pair organ (in Taoism the right side is depicted as "Yang" - masculine), later they move to the left. Disabled first is the right side of strength and action. It is apparent that the emphasis on competition, strength, external brilliancy and efficiency, sometimes concealing an inner stringency and inner suffering, the stress on combativeness and aggressiveness, to a large degree all characterise the contemporary human society. Lycopodium types figure prominently in the present times, and this makes the homeopathic Lycopodium one of the most important remedies - even from our society's point of view. The Lycopodium type, when mentally healthy, influences in a healthy way his environment, if unhealthy he acts destructively - as is the case with the other homeopathic types. His notion of spirituality is also typical and it is often associated with the term strength. I have discovered that archetypically linked to Lycopodium is the

alchemical legend of St. Christopher, to whom everything was fortitude. Briefly, about this legend: In the land of Canaan (in Palestine) there lived Christopher, a man of a giant size. He was very proud of his growth and his strength. He resolved that he would serve the strongest man in the land, a mighty Prince. While in his service, he however noticed that Prince made the sign of a cross whenever the Devil's was Asking the for the reason, he found that the Prince was name scarred of mentioned. the Devil, because Devil is stronger. Christopher thus went to serve the Devil. Under his authority he robbed and murdered, but only until he saw Satan run away from the cross at the cross-roads. Christopher then decided that the Christ must be the strongest, as even the Devil himself feared him, and that he wanted to serve the Christ. A hermit explained to him that he did not have to serve the Christ the same way he served both his previous lords, and realising that it would be difficult for a giant to reach the heaven as other people do, through abstention and praying, he initiated him into the secrets of the religion. He urged him to fulfil his pledge to God by serving the poor and by carrying people over the river. Christopher then carried pilgrims on his shoulders. Once, a small child asked to be carried over, and as Christopher entered the stream, it gradually became heavier, until it appeared to Christopher that he was carrying the weight of the whole world on his shoulders. Nevertheless, he made it to the other bank with the child, who then told him: "Don't be surprised, you had born the One Who Bears the World. To prove to you that I am the Christ, your Lord, I will plant your walking stick into the ground and tomorrow you will find it full of fruits". It so happened. After this he was baptised by St. Babylas, the Bishop of Antioch, and accepted the name Christophoros (he who bears the Christ). Eventually he died a martyr. The main points that bind this legend to this homeopathic type are: Above all, strength as the criterion that determines values. Disease is perceived as a loss of strength. Occasionally there is a tendency towards solving problems from the position of strength. Weakness, a great weakness, is the antithesis to strength. For example, many of those who operate with the bioenergy, healers who use the mental "healing power", happen to be Lycopodium types. They maintain that they pass their strength to the patient. Among homeopaths there are again Lycopodium types, who assume that homeopathic pills contain a special hidden energy, strength (and not information). Lycopodium types (men) often exercise to grow large muscles. Even those who originally had no obvious disposition for it, through a determined exercise are able to gain athletic figures. Going on we can see, as in the legend, the tendency to serve. A person of the Lycopodium type usually serves something or someone. He does not act on his own behalf, but as a servant of someone. A noble servant, of course, aAsvoluntary servant. Like aa particular, knight in the of his (often Lachesis) lady. an economist serving andservice to mankind, beneficial economical concept. In the service of his nation as a statesman. In the service of his company as its weighty staff member. As the Father (Mother) serving the family. As a general serving his homeland. Always in the service, but always

at the top. Sometimes he serves the money, he might even be a miser. Money means strength. Lycopodium invariably serves that perceived as magnificent, that as being the most influential. Like St. Christopher, the Lycopodium type does not assume a priori and inflexible attitude towards problems. He takes advice from others, accounts for new situations. For a while he serves the Devil, then God, to him it is not astrong greatidea. contradiction. He always serves the strongest - itthe might even be a of In the legend of St. Christopher we can see development a Lycopodium individual from being the servant of the lowest, the sensual, to the highest, the spiritual. It is appropriate to add that C. G. Jung considers the archetype of a child in dreams and legends to be the symbol of the soul. Christopher thus first discovers the lowest levels of existence, the world of sensuality and aggression, later the spiritual values, symbolised by the child who is "as heavy as the world", whom he consciously carries and protects from the danger, represented by the water stream. The process of discovery is in the form of a service. One of my Lycopodium patients, the father of the Lachesis girl appearing early in the book, told me some two years after commencing the treatment, about an unusual dream. While in some town, he was a witness to an accident. A car hit a small child and it was about to run it over again. He took the child into his arms and walked away with it. For a long time he carried it around the town, such a long time that it felt odd to him. Finally he took it to the hospital for examination. People in the hospital did not want the child, eventually with reluctance they examined it, and said that it was unharmed. Again he carried the child away, but feeling that he could not hold it forever, he put it to the ground. The child made a few steps, looked at him with a deep expression and said: "I am God."

This patient had never heard about the legend of St. Christophorus (the Bearer of the Christ), or Christopher, I made him read it only when I heard his interesting story. To Jung a child symbolises the soul, the promise of spiritual growth. Such a growth already manifests itself in the unconscious of the patient. The patient wants to serve his soul. He wants to go up, not down. Dreams are the unconscious talking to us. In the dream, the patient answers the fundamental question of the Grail: "Whom do you want to serve?" "Where are you going?" There is another connection of the dream described above with the legend of St. Christopher: the child is saved by the Lycopodium patient from the car accident. There is an important relationship between Lycopodium and cars! The Lycopodium type loves driving cars, particularly strong cars that allow

him to dominate on the road. If they do not already own a Mercedes, they would love to have one. Also women of this type are usually good drivers. And another connection: in the modern times St. Christopher became the patron of drivers. Because the Lycopodium type is so ambitious and effective (in the case of an advanced constitutional disease, however, timid and weak), and because he oftenhis assumes positions ofsociety poweris and roles within system, influenceleading on contemporary very key pronounced and, the in my opinion, even peremptory. Let's examine the basic characteristics of the modern global society: - Accent on competition, marketing is the principle of economy. - Accent on money, money is the basic measure of values. Most Materia Medicas register well above average interest in money as being characteristic of Lycopodium. We can already see such interest in money, for example in saving, with very young, four or five year old children, even when not at all encouraged by their parents. - Accent on power in politics, the arms race and the resolution of international conflicts through power. Power has fundamental value both in the politics and in the private life. Desire for power, for manipulation of others, is one of the main characteristics of the Lycopodium type. - The contemporary ethical standards usually demand that a person should not outwardly express any inner suffering, any stringency. People should say that they are "all right", and look all right if possible, regardless of the reality (the demand on the exterior image of efficiency, typical of Lycopodium). A great deal more could be said about Lycopodium. With Lycopodium I have had a wide and long lasting experience. In the same way we could analyse any other constitutional Medicas do notes not take such a complex view oftype. any Materia type. Each of theunderstandably Materia Medicas somewhat different aspects of a remedial type, so it is always useful to have several of the Materias. I think, that perhaps ten would be enough. The Status of Remedial Types in the Society Very often we meet with the fact that certain professions are sought predominantly (but not exclusively) by people of a particular remedial type. With Lycopodium, as already stated, it is for instance politics, professional sport, management - the areas that invite competitiveness and allow success. The Sulphur type is often found in the vicinity of computers - working with computers suits this constitutional type's inclination towards theoretical (not practical) solution of problems, which in their lives is also expressed in many other guises.

The Phosphorus types acquit themselves well in creative work, for example as actors, because of their ability to easily express their feelings and to gain sympathy. There is a need in these people to show up. The Materia Medica lists the desire to show up entirely, naked, without inhibitions. If a patient stated on her visit to a homeopath that she is a striptease dancer, it would be the obvious direction as far as choice of the remedy is concerned. Arsenicum albumquality types isare often foundsometime in accountants' as their significant mental love of order, pedantic.offices, Everything has to be in its place. They would sacrifice themselves for their conception of the world. They would lay down their lives for it. The cases have been known, of people belonging to this type (mentally pathological, of course), who committed suicide, after finding their flat in a disorder. Lachesis types can be found wherever they are allowed to display their suppressed emotions, creativity and the sometimes exaggerated reproof of their environment - in art, religious movements, etc. Very often, even regularly, they are in a partnership (business, marital) with Lycopodium. The two remedies are much alike - in a mirror-like reflection, however. With the first the disease begins on the left side, with the other on the right, the first does not like to compete, the other does, the first always finds his own way, the other often follows (and tries to overpass), the first cannot stand heat, the other cold... Dozens of such polarities could be found in the mental and physical domains. They often cause the partnership of these two types to be quite dramatic, while at the same time a productive one. Both partners complement each other perfectly - what one is lacking, the other one has, situations that make one feeling depressed, exhilarate the other, etc. The Materia Medicas consider these two remedies to be complementary, reciprocal. We could continue with this, perhaps too simplified, list of mental characteristics, which determine the societal status.

Naturally, the societal status cannot form the core of the diagnosis - this must be made on the basis of totality of all symptoms. It however has its place in the diagnoses. Treatment on All Levels Taking the constitutional remedy can mean a great deal to people. It not only influences the state of their health, but their relationship to others and of others to them. This is because the influence of constitutional remedy changes the person. A weak person becomes stronger. An amenable person seeks equality, a passive person begins approachdisease his or her problems moreon actively. Just as the influence of theto patient's was discernible all levels, including the social life, manifesting now is the newly gained health. The disease, disorder or entropy, originating in dynamis, the non material governing centre, becomes manifested in the psychology, in the emotions

and in the physical organs of the ill person, but it is also entrenched in the social structures which during the years this person had built around herself. Thus a woman of the type Staphisagria (which includes in its psychological characteristic the consequences of a personality suppressed by someone stronger, rape, humiliation) may often marry a domineering person. While in such a relationship on a daily basis, she may indeed become subdued, allow herself to be tormented, to be psychologically and physically abused. She even arranges life,aso that she can receive as much torture andshe abuse as possible. Whenher such woman is given the remedy Staphisagria, begins to resist her suppression, ceases to act submissively and starts to react defensively. There is a conflict with the pathologically domineering husband. The situation becomes so intense that it results in a divorce, which in this case would be a relief. Of course, homeopathy offers another and often explored possibility. The patient also brings her husband to a homeopath. He is given one of the remedies, which in their characteristics include excessive assertiveness. The outcome is, that the husband's domineering attitude is somewhat restricted, the wife's self-confidence is increased - and a new healthier relationship is formed, this of course often happens only after some dramatic conflicts. It is similar with an occupation. A person on a constitutional decline could become bogged in the line of work that does not satisfy him. When the homeopathic remedy is applied, it may happen and in reality often does happen, that there is a change of the working place, change of the profession. It is a shift of direction, aimed towards the previously suppressed ambitions. Nevertheless, the conflict with the environment that might occur during the healing process, with the patient trying to assume the new position to which he is now entitled, might also have negative results. For instance, a grandmother whose present social situation is built around caring for her perennially ill grandson, might subconsciously perceive his cure as endangering her own significance - and she might smother the curing process by taking her grandson to an allopath and suppressing the symptoms in a reverse order. Or the patient's domineering partner, seeing that the other is beginning to "get out of his hands", might relentlessly insist on recommencing the allopathic treatment and thus bringing the process to a halt and turning it back. Because benefits that come from the constitutional remedy are truly significant, it is sometimes likened to the mysterious elixir of alchemy. Personally I think it to be reasonable. Seeing a child that is strongly disadvantaged by the chronic disease, who could mostly expect only unpleasant things in life, then the same child, a year or two later, who having received the remedy, is among the healthiest and the most active of children and who can remedy enjoy lifemust to the such a more sight than makes obvioustreatment. that the homeopathic be full, something an itordinary When I lecture, I am often asked what is the constitutional remedy, how could it be characterised and distinguished from other remedies. The answer

is simple. Everybody has his or her constitutional remedy, and it is the remedy characterising utmost the individual personality - from psychology to emotions and general reactions to the actual pathology. Every person has the nearest similium, regardless of whether they are ill or healthy. The Prevention Ifperson? the constitutional is applied, does future it meanillness. to a healthy Above all, remedy prevention of the what possible Improved efficiency certainly, better memory, certain development of positive qualities and confinement of the negative characteristics, from psychology, to emotions, all the way to matters physical. The expected outcome might be for instance improved social circumstances. Homeopathy does not admit to people ever being absolutely healthy. Anyone, even the healthiest person, has many symptoms in the areas of psychology and emotions. This is why the constitutional remedy of any person can be established. Once, on her own request, I gave the constitutional remedy of high potency to my forty year old colleague, even though she was a rare person - never being ill throughout her life. Unfortunately, her children already had chronic illnesses - naturally homeopathically curable. When she saw what the remedy did to the children, she also asked for it. In present times even a history of ruddiness in a family does not mean much. Is Constitutional Remedy Unchangeable? Another often asked question is, would constitutional remedy remain the same throughout life, or can it change? The answer must be somewhat broadened. I would say that from this point of view, the remedies could be divided approximately into four groups. In the first group there are the remedies that in practice never include the whole picture of a person. They are the remedies used predominantly for acute problems, such as Plantago, Hecla lava, Coffea and many others. To the next group belong a large number of remedies, which are not normally used as constitutional, in most cases covering only a limited number of symptoms, but which with some people may turn out to be their constitutional remedies, covering the whole personality. Hypericum, Arnica, Millefolium, Asparagus and many others belong here. Then there is the sizeable group of remedies, which may be described almost exclusively in accordance with the overall constitution, such as Kali carbonicum, Natrum sulphuricum, Pulsatilla, but which after a period of treatment may turn into something else. From my own practice I can cite the case of Pulsatilla, a boy treated since the age of seven, who was cured by this remedy from the risen temperature that lasted for a year, from a nightly pollution and from repetitive colds, and kept healthy (without any allopathic treatment) for another twelve years. During this period he went through the rising scale of potencies, from C 200 to 1M, 10M, all the way to CM. However, at nineteen age the young withand all the signs of Lachesis, whichyears after of this remedy went man awaygot in atonsillitis day or two improved him generaly for years. Pulsatilla thus changed during the treatment into Lachesis. My personal theory is that there are several basic types (the fourth group), which if correctly diagnosed and applied, cannot

change into anything else, lasting throughout the life. Among these are Phosphorus, Lachesis, Sulphur, Arsenicum album, Natrium muriaticum and several others. I will venture a little theory: With the progress of humanity and society, the number of miasma increases, rises the pollution of health and psychology. With it there are more remedies and remedial types. During treatment, during inverted journey backlesser to health and to we the primal the miasmathisdecrease, from the remedies move essence, to the more fundamental remedies. Homeopaths call it "the peeling of an onion", removal of the miasmal covers. Eventually the opus is closed by few of the most basic, fundamental remedies. Persons of the types Sulphur, Phosphorus, Lachesis or Arsenicum, etc. thus having a certain advantage in belonging to the few outstanding primal types, should not need another diagnose. Nevertheless, in an absolutely prevailing number of cases, the previous wide group of remedies can bring the work to its conclusion. [Next Chapter] [Table of Contents]

Homeopathy Medorrhinum

Gonorrhea Medorrhinum The homeopathic remedy medorrhinum is prepared from urethral discharge from a male patient who has gonorrhea, and is used to treat an assortment of healthwas conditions, including gynecological problems. This homeopathic remedy introduced by a New York homeopath Dr. Samuel Swan in 1842 and proved by Dr. Swan himself along with Dr. Edward Berridge in a publication in 1889.

As aforementioned, gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which develops and thrives in the warm and moist parts of the body, especially in the urethra (the tube that transports urine out of the body). In the case of women, this bacterium may be present in their reproductive tract, including the uterus, fallopian tube and cervix). Interestingly, the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae also has the aptitude to grow even in the eyes. In homeopathy, medorrhinum is used to cure a variety of health conditions, including gynecological problems. Roman physician Galen named this infection as gonorrhea, which was possibly also recognized by the ancient Egyptians and Chinese. Long back, silver nitrate injections was administered to patients who suffered from this sexually transmitted infection. According to the founder of the alternative stream of medicine homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, this ailment was the root cause for sycotic miasm - one among the miasms (infectious principle) that deals with hereditary characteristics. It may be noted that people have been suffering from the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea for several centuries and today it has turned out to be even a bigger concern in contemporary health. Owing to the specific symptoms of gonorrhea, it was discovered as a latent medication in homeopathy decades ago. Since then, the bacterium responsible for causing gonorrhea has been modified and transformed into a highly useful homeopathic medication known as medorrhinum. Individuals to respond well to the homeopathic remedy medorrhinum are those who feel hastiness and nervousness during the most part of their lives. Such people also have an empty feeling frequently and think that they are somewhat cut off or secluded from the remaining world or the society around them. In addition, people requiring this homeopathic remedy may also experience extremes in their manners and can be found to be introvert or sensitive at one split second, and subsequently be self-seeking and overconfident in the very next moment.

People said to be belonging to the Medorrhinum type are interesting and usually the overlooked constitutional kind. While the mentals of this type of individuals have been very inadequately characterized in the earlier Materia Medicas, the extensiveness of the temperament of the Medorrhinum type of people may result in the homeopathic physicians to confuse them with different types. The character of this type of people is full of extremes ranging from being recluse at one moment to being an extrovert the very next moment, from being kind to mean, from intellectual and isolated to being extremely poignant and instinctive. To understand the wide span as well as the assortment of characteristics of people belonging to the Medorrhinum type, it would be useful if one bears in mind that such type of individuals has a vast enthusiasm regarding life as well as a craving for different experiences of all types. Consequ ently, he or

she is likely to be allured to take on all the different conduct of experiences, which may either be acceptable to the society or not, simply to find out what they are akin to. Generally, people acquired the gonorrheal infection by engaging in exhilarating sexual experiences to fulfill their appetite for lust and sex. It may be noted that although it is possible that acquiring the gonorrheal infection may cover up a medorrhinum condition upon another constitutional type, most of the individuals belonging to the Medorrhinum type have actually got thisacquired constitution hereditarily, most probably owing to the gonorrheal infections by their ancestors. Individuals belonging to the Medorrhinum type are usually adventurous by nature. Some Medorrhinums may travel around the world physically accumulating the sweet and exhilarating new experiences as they move from one place to another around the globe. There are other people belonging to the Medorrhinum type who prefer to explore the emotional world getting into one passionate liaison after another, usually with people who vastly differ from each other in various aspects. While there are still other types of Medorrhinum people who look at the infinite panorama of scholarly thoughts, getting through philosophies with equal eagerness as they would be taking up scientific theories and advances. There are several other types of Medorrhinums, and some of them may be undertaking exhilarating expeditions into the land of the mind's eye as well as supernatural perceptions. Thus, generally speaking, majority of the people belonging to the Medorrhinum type are very passionate explorers in all and different aspects of life. They are keen to learn from the unfamiliar and are always positive that they will endure all the dangers that may come in their way. Parts used The homeopathic remedy medorrhinum is prepared with extreme caution using the urethral emissions of a male patient who has been infected by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Subsequently, the urethral discharge is diluted and sanitized in water and shaken thoroughly to the extent that not a single molecule of the ailment is left behind in the final product, the medorrhinum tincture. In fact, similar to the process involved in preparing any other homeopathic remedies, even medorrhinum does not possess even the slightest trace of the srcinal substance - the bacterium gonorrhoeae, it is prepared from. In fact, many people who use this homeopathic remedy to cure any of the conditions they may be suffering from would be surprised to learn the source as well as the process of preparing medorrhinum.

Such people often experience an empty feeling within, as if they have been isolated or abandoned. At the same time, they are always in a surreal state of mind where everything seems dreamlike.

Homeopaths prescribe medorrhinum for people who generally display extremes of behaviours. For instance, this is an ideal remedy for people who are self-seeking, arrogant or proud and introvert at one moment and may change to forgetfulness, withdrawn from their surroundings as well as become extremely receptive to beautiful thing in nature the very next moment. As aforementioned, the homeopathic medication medorrhinum is useful in curing a variety of aliments and some of these condition specific uses of this remedy are discussed in brief below. Women’s health Medorrhinum is a very useful homeopathic remedy for women. It is an excellent medication for women who suffer from profuse menstrual flow, which has a disgusting odour. Such women may also experience intense sensitivity in the cervical region, while having tender breasts. All this is accompanied by such a foul smelling usually inconvenient menstrual discharge. When women turn toand medorrhinum, it not only helps to cure the main condition, but also provides relief from the associated symptoms. Urinary tract infections Certain people often suffer from a specific type of infection of the urinary tract that is generally accompanied by intense pain and a burning sensation, especially when they pass urine. In some cases, the urine may also contain pus or blood. Such patients usually have a very strong desire to pass urine, but they are unable to excrete even a small amount despite trying very hard. In such cases, administration of the homeopathic medication medorrhinum not only helps the body to fight the infection, but also alleviates the associated symptoms and provides relief to the patients.

Genital warts and herpes People who endure large warts on their genitals that are accompanied by an itchy rash can benefit by using the homeopathic medication medorrhinum. In such cases, the prickly rashes in the form of small blisters may also be very aching and reddened. Turning to medorrhinum helps cure all these symptoms quickly. Rhinitis and sinusitis People suffering from copious catarrh (an inflammation of a mucous membrane, particularly of the respiratory tract, accompanied by too much secretion) that is related to the tenderness of the mucus membranes in the nose may benefit greatly by using the homeopathic medication medorrhinum. Such patients may also experience postnasal trickles and frequent sneezing. At the same time, they may endure pressure as well as pain in the sinus area. Medorrhinum is effective in curing all these symptoms and providing quick relief. Source The homeopathic remedy medorrhinum is prepared from the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae which is responsible for the gonorrhea. The bacterium is collected from the urethral discharge of a male patient suffering from gonorrhea.

Homeopathic psychology: personality profiles of the major constitutional remedies

Philip M. Bailey 4 Reseñas North Atlantic Books, 1995 - 440 páginas

This is a most interesting book that combines psychology with homeopathy. Philip Bailey

describes in depth the personality profiles of some 35 polychrests. The last pages of the book cover a mix of psychological astrology and homeopathy when he explores the elements and some polychrests. Bailey provides detailed information on 35 major types, giving insight on diagnosis, mental and emotional traits, and physical characteristics. His broad profiles of major constitutional remedies give the reader a good overall picture of the personality type and therefore ways of remembering facts about the archetype, by having a unifying theory for each remedy. A common disorder that is frequently being misdiagnosed is an hypothyroidism; an underactive thyroid. It affects over 5% of the population; four times as many women as men; and mostly in people age 30-65 years old. The main function of the thyroid gland is to synthesize, store and secrete two main thyroid hormones. One is thyroxine (also known as T4) and the other is triodothyroxine (T3), of which iodine is an essential constituent. You secrete a mixture of about 90% T4 and 10% of the T3. Both of them together regulate the bodies metabolism as well as some other important biological functions. When the thyroid is secreting too much hormone it is known as hyperthyroid. When it is not secreting enough it is known as hypothyroid.

What are the symptoms of hypothyroid?

Low basal body temperature is how some people check for hypothyroidism. the most common symptoms are fatigue, weight gain, depression, difficulty difficulty losing weight, sensitivityconcentrating, to cold and hot, hair loss, constipation, fluid retention, menstrual problems (including scanty menstual periods or lack of periods), infertility, low body temperature, dry skin, reactive hypoglycemia, yellow palms, puffiness around the eyes or the ankles which is fluid retention, elevated serum cholesterol and hair loss, especially on the eyebrows. On physical examination some symptoms include thick tongue, the eyeballs appear protruding, indentations on the tongue and insomnia. What about bloodwork?

When people go to their Doctors for bloodwork related to the thyroid the test range is too broad to depend on the readings to detect a malfunction. If the stimulating hormone) are or highTSH this (thyroid may show an imbalance in thelevels pituitary other related organs involved in the process as well. What are my choices?

The conventional system of medicine routinely treats any hormonal disorders by using a synthetic hormone replacement. Whenwithout the levels from the bloodwork are "out of range" knowing excatly what the problem is they use guesswork and give everyone the same hormone therapy and

if there are enough symptoms following, they adjust the dosage. In many cases they use radiation therapy to destroy the tissue of the person's thyroid, and then use a replacement. The side effects are sometimes worse than the srcinal problem. The latest fad is to use a "natural replacement", something that, in my opinion, isn't natural at all. They use thyroid tissue from pigs instead of a synthetically produced one. It has fewer side effects but, nonetheless, still cripples the function and puts a band aid on the problem. We have found that using a Homeopathic remedy to stimulate the body to reactivate the hormone secretions and an herbal combination that replenishes and restores the thyroid tissue through the pituitary and other glands as a whole allows the body to heal itself. Cutting the function of organs and glands, rather than repairing them, is not the wisest choice. Conventional drug therapies should be reserved as a last resort, not the first choice. As we learn more about the hormonal system we understand that the body produces cells that we aren't even familiar with. Many times modern medicine cuts off or destroys what it doesn't fully understand. As an animal lover and advocate I hate to see the torture andwork slaughter of innocent to itmake drugs that against the body animals and leave in a weaker state, especially when the US Homeopathic Pharmacoepea has at least fifty

clinically proven remedies that we can be reaching for as a healthier alternative. I truly feel that you can't murder with one hand and heal with the other. Why doesn't everyone use Homeopathic therapy?

It takes much more time and effort to study the patients history and take all aspects of their lifestyle, including diet, into consideration. It is easier and faster to give a cookie cutter drug and treat the disease instead of treating the person. When done properly, a full case analysis can take a Homeopathic Physician many hours of patient study, asprescription opposed to of a ten visit followed a written theminute latest drug. Also, youby can't put a patent on these remedies, so who would fund research on anything that will not guarantee financial returns? This is one of the reasons that we (Homeopathic Physicians) use European research instaed of the limited information available in the American Medical Journal. Finally you don't have to continue using the Homeopathics and Herbs once the body has recovered. This alone does not please the drug manufacturers. What can I do on my own?

If you suspect your thyroid is underactive there are several things that you can try on your own before seeking professional Homeopathic Treatment. • European therapies include Hydrotherapy: Soak feet in water with sea salt then rub the feet with a mixture of castor oil and kelp tincture, wrap with

plastic and put on socks overnight, then remove in the morning. • Personality Types: The most common personality to develop hypothyroid is the "type A" personality who takes care of everyone else except themselves. In their heart they question when it is their turn to be taken care of. Using "stressbuster" or Stress b Complex and other stress reduction therapies may be useful along with the hypothyroid program. • Use Homeopathic Remedy called Thyroidinum in an 8x potency and follow the directions. It may help stimulate the natural thyroid to start producing. • Tap the thyroid gland gently 10 times, three times a day to try to stimulate gland. • A good supplement to add is Tyrosine 400. It is an amino acid that has had promising results in aid the regulating hypothyroid conditions. Also I suggest using either "Herbal Vitamins" made from whole food products to ensure proper nutritional assimilation of the needed nutrients, or adding a variety of fresh vegetable juices in to the diet at least three days a week. I wish I knew about this before...

If you are already on thyroid mediciation or have had previous therapies that destroyed your natural thyroid gland you'll have because to work with qualified Homeopathic Physician you awill need to be monitored month by month and have the program adjusted. In most cases they will send you

back to your srcional Doctor and have them wean you off of the drugs as there is no longer a need for them after there are signs of recovery. Never give up. Your body is capable of healing itself of just about anything. You are worth the time and the state of your health can only improve all the way around from using the a healthier type of therapy. Using herbs as superfoods...

I use a custom formulated herb combination that regulates the cells to carry the hormones to the receptor a domino effect on the body and helpssites. with Itallhas of the hormonal functions in the system. When a person is not stimulating the thyroid correctly or when there is high TSH levels I find it useful, safe and effective when used for several months as indicated. It is safe and effective. It has superior form of Licorice root, Ginger root, Jujube dates, Buplerum, Coleus Forsloki, Feverfew, and Fucus in it. This combination is excellent. It is a very difficult formula to find in exact proportions needed. It's called the Intracellular Formula and can be ordered through Archeus Supply at 412-243-7475. If you are already on thyroid mediciation or have had previous therapies that destroyed your natural thyroid gland you'll have to work with a Homeopathic Practitioner who will work month by month with you to see if you can recover the use of what is left. In most cases, you can! If there is nothing to work with you can always strenthen the

supporting glands and help with any known side effects from the drugs. After several months of using the Homeopathic program, your Homeopathic Practitioner should recommend that you go back to your srcinal Doctor and asked to be safely weaned off of the drugs as there is no longer a need for them.

MEDORRHINUM Homeopatía ahora LOS MIASMAS Y LA CLÍNICA DOS CASOS DE MEDORRHINUM Debo reconocer que uno de los conceptos homeopáticos que siempre me ha costado digerir ha sido la teoría miasmática. Tal vez tenga ello que ver con mi relación, durante los años formativos, con la escuela mexicana del Dr. Procesoquizás Sánchez Ortega. Aunque el planteamiento global resultaba coherente, el estilo excesivamente doctrinario o ese toque cuasi religioso con el que estudiábamos el Órganon y las Enfermedades Crónicas, unido al gran culto a la personalidad hacia la figura del “maestro Proceso” despertaron resistencias que dificultaron por mi parte la asimilación del

método. La técnica de la seriación miasmática de los síntomas, por otra parte, dificultaba aún más mi aceptación; se me antojaba simplista y artificiosa. Posteriormente ingresé en el departamento de Doctrina de la AMHB, en la actualidad Bases Teóricas, con el ánimo de aclarar las dudas que a diario me planteaba la actividad clínica. Las obligaciones docentes por un lado y los intercambios con otros miembros del departamento, hicieron posible que poco a poco me fuera ubicando en el universo conceptual homeopático. Una de las primeras sorpresas fuede constatar la teoría miasmática hahnemaniana, difería notablemente la teoríaque miasmática procesiana. Tal vez si nos hubieran explicado la génesis y la ulterior evolución de las diferentes corrientes miasmáticas la confusión hubiese sido menor. Pero así son las cosas, quizás no estaban preparados o era otra la intención. De todas formas la confusión conceptual, srcen de todas las batallas miasmáticas, se produce cuando Hahnemann traslada el esquema infecto-contagioso de los miasmas venéreos, que él relaciona con entidades clínicas concretas, al resto de enfermedades agrupándolas bajo un epígrafe nuevo al que denomina Psora. A partir de ese momento la Psora es la responsable de la mayoría de enfermedades que afectan y han afectado a la humanidad y su srcen es imposible de determinar aunque algunos se remontan al momento de "la caída", al momento en que el hombre quiso comer el fruto del árbol prohibido, el "árbol del bien y del mal". Este es el elemento que torna indigerible para mí al miasma psórico y que, por otro lado, hace que su plasmación clínica resulte un tanto confusa. Han pasado los años y, en mi caso, la teoría miasmática, según plantean algunas escuelas, continúa siendo farragosa e inaprensible como método de abordaje clínico. No tengo nada que objetar y merecen un gran respeto los colegas que han desarrollado una metodología clínica basándose en estos presupuestos, ahí están las aportaciones de Proceso, de Giampietro, de Sankaran y de los clásicos. Ahora bien, que algunas técnicas miasmáticas me resulten farragosas no significa que desdeñe la teoría miasmática y que no la tenga en cuenta en el quehacer diario. En algunos casos, lo que podemos llamar impregnaciones, bloqueos, antecedentes o herencias miasmáticas, ya sean tuberculínicas, blenorrágicas, carcinosínicas y, en menor medida, sifilíticas resultan tan evidentes que es imposible obviarlas. Las psóricas son otro cantar. Como ejemplo, reseño dos historias clínicas de Medorrhinum (medicamento que simboliza en muchos aspectos los signos de los tiempos) que ponen de manifiesto que eso que los clásicos llamaban Sycosis existe, es palpable. CASO 1 J. D. tenía 7 años recién cumplidos cuando viene a la consulta por primera vez en Febrero de 1998. Los padres lo traen porque desde los 3 años padece de los oídos, siendo diagnosticado por los pediatras de otitis crónica serosa bilateral. JD siempre ha padecido muchos cuadros catarrales y duerme con la boca abierta. JD tiene una hermana 2 años mayor y desde hace 2 años vive con ellos una niña saharaui. El padre es una persona de temperamento fuerte, expansivo y comprometido socialmente desde la juventud. La madre es de carácter reservado, conJDuna constitución podemos carbónica. Durante embarazo de requirió el uso que de insulina porllamar diabetes gestacional. JDel pesó 3.200g al nacer, tuvo una dentición tardía y caminó a los 13 meses. Fue amamantado los 6 primeros meses de su vida, recibiendo todas las vacunas del calendario sin complicaciones aparentes. La madre hizo un

cuadro de hipertiroidismo en el postparto, con bocio. El padre había padecido otitis, eccemas y tiene antecedentes blenorrágicos. JD estuvo bien hasta los 2 años cuando hizo un cuadro febril de 3 semanas que requirió ingreso por pérdida importante de peso. Fue dado de alta sin diagnóstico concreto pero los médicos, debido al adelgazamiento, pudieron constatar la existencia de un bultito en zona latero-cervical derecha que se consideró como un resto embrionario. Unos meses después el quiste se inflamó, se formó un absceso y empezóaa la supurar. Unasquirúrgica semanas más tarde, cesada supuración, se procedió exéresis del mismo, siendola catalogado como un adeno-absceso. A partir de ese momento empezó a sufrir las otitis que tras sucesivos tratamientos acabaron llevando nuevamente a JD al quirófano. Habían transcurrido 4 años. Se le extirparon las adenoides y se le implantaron drenajes transtimpánicos. Le visito un mes y medio después, los padres manifiestan: “al salir del hospital le dimos antibióticos durante 15 días y ahora está peor y supura un poco”. JD es un niño muy caluroso que suda mucho por cualquier actividad. Come de todo aunque le gustan los platos fuertes, el embutido y el queso. Antes tomaba mucha leche y tiene aversión a los purés. Tiene la piel seca y una vez tuvo eccemas. Los padres dicen que es un niño inquieto al que “le cuesta centrarse en los estudios” y tiene reacciones raras, “se descontrola” y se altera fácilmente, lo que relacionan con “el síndrome del niño enfermo”. JD es un niño que tiene una relación muy estrecha con el padre, al que lleva a situaciones extremas, “sólo lo llama a él”. Con la niña saharaui se lleva a matar, es una relación de amor y odio. Al parecer no le gustan los médicos y se pone nervioso cuando ha de ir a visitar a alguno; sin embargo, cuando está mal él mismo los pide y si no le dan medicamentos piensa que no le quieren. Se agita y se muestra preocupado por mínimos dolores. Necesita controlarlo todo y no le gustan las situaciones nuevas, le inquietan, le cuesta salir de casa. Se queja, necesita llamar la atención, es muy posesivo. A la exploración se visualizan los drenajes y una ligera descarga mucopurulenta en oído izquierdo. Teniendo en cuenta los antecedentes blenorrágicos, la metástasis mórbida, la patología catarral y los rasgos del temperamento la primera prescripción fue Medorrhinum 10 mil K, 2 tomas separadas 12 horas. Visito a la JD un mes después: “Los oídos están mejor, ya no supura. Un día se quejó del oído izquierdo. Tiene unos granitos que recuerdan a la erupción que tuvo hace tiempo. Está más contento y más feliz, el carácter ha cambiado. Está más tranquilo, piensa que se va a curar aunque sigue obsesionado con su enfermedad”. En la exploración el drenaje derecho ha caído. La mejoría clínica experimentada desde las primeras semanas se mantuvo en los meses siguientes. Las tomas de Medorrhinum 10 mil K se repitieron a los 2 y a los 4 meses de la primera prescripción por la vuelta de los síntomas óticos en forma de molestias y descargas mucopurulentas abundantes, en ambas ocasiones la mejoría fue rápida cayendo también el drenaje del oído izquierdo. A los cuatro meses, después de la última toma de Med. 10 mil, apareció una nueva erupción en cuero cabelludo que evocaba a otra anterior. fueron centrando en el comportamiento, pasandoLas lossiguientes trastornos visitas óticos se a segundo término. Aunque JD estaba más tranquilo y la niña saharaui había marchado, continuaban “las reacciones extremadas sin venir a cuento” que generaban gran tensión en el seno familiar. Paulatinamente el trasfondo abandónico se hizo más

evidente y las salidas de tono se producían cuando los padres mostraban intención de ausentarse. La posesividad, la necesidad de controlarlo todo, las resistencias a salir de casa y la angustia abandónica me hicieron prescribirle Lachesis 200K, remedio que recibió en tres ocasiones. La última vez que vi a JD fue en Mayo de 1999 aunque he sabido de él con frecuencia. En ese momento hacía ya casi un año que no presentaba patología ORL aguda. En una ocasión durante el invierno coincidiendo con un cuadro tuvo molestias en forma defuertes. pinchazos en tenido los oídos. Come bien faríngeo y de todo, sigue deseando sabores No ha nada en la piel. Al igual que el padre tiene algún episodio de epistaxis nocturna. El comportamiento ha mejorado notablemente: “está más sensato, menos estados de descontrol, acepta normas, obedece, ya no lleva la contraria, trabaja muy bien en el cole y se queda en casa de los amigos". CASO 2 JM es el papá de JD y tiene 43 años cuando nos encontramos por primera vez en Julio de 1999. Es una persona de complexión fuerte. Le gusta el atletismo y desde joven es corredor de fondo, actividad que sigue practicando cuando las molestias del aparato locomotor no se lo impiden. Animado por la evolución, tan favorable como inesperada, de su hijo, decide consultar también. JM es el tercero de 5 hermanos. Su padre fue militar y a sus 83 años está bien de salud aunque ha tenido eczemas. La madre tiene algunos trastornos sin importancia. JM fue un niño sano y sólo recuerda haber tenido erupciones en la cabeza y alguna otitis. Consulta porque tiene achaques varios. Refiere padecer alergia desde hace 6 años. Con 20 años tuvo una especie de crup con disnea, estando en la playa, que no ha vuelto a repetir. Las crisis alérgicas se remontan a 1993; ese año empezaron a picarle los ojos y a hinchársele los párpados. Desde entonces cada primavera-verano tiene accesos de rinitis y coriza con picor en ojos, nariz, estornudos y en alguna ocasión disnea. Los síntomas se agravan después de correr. Desde hace tiempo tiene problemas de ciática de lateralidad izqda. Las imágenes de una RMN realizada en 1991 son sugestivas de discopatía L4-L5. Las crisis agudas han sido después de reposar y mejoran con el movimiento. También tiene problemas en la rodilla izquierda, todo lo cual relaciona con su actividad deportiva. Refiere molestias uretrales intermitentes desde hace años en forma de polaquiuria, molestias al orinar después del coito y, a veces, dolor al eyacular. También padece de hemorroides y le llama la atención que cuando éstas se agudizan lo hacen también los síntomas uretrales. Hace 8 años después de un esfuerzo físico prolongado orinó sangre. A temporadas le salen eccemas en los codos y pliegues interglúteos. De niño también los tenía en el cuero cabelludo. Esporádicamente ha utilizado corticoides. Por su actividad profesional es vacunado con regularidad. Las últimas vacunas recibidas han sido hepatitis B y tétanos en los años 94 y 95. JM ha tenido 2 episodios blenorrágicos. El primero con 19 años, el segundo con 24-25. Este segundo episodio "me dejó tocado”. A partir de ese momento sus contactos sexuales se hicieron más selectivos. De alguna manera él siempre ha relacionado las molestias uretrales convaliente. estos episodios. JM es una persona sumamente apasionada, Es una persona comprometida socialmentevehemente, que no se rinde fácilmente y cree en las ideas y en la coherencia. Aunque es emocionalmente estable, a los 33 a. pasó una crisis existencial relacionada con la paternidad. Es muy caluroso. Con 5 ó 6 horas de sueño tiene

suficiente y dice que a veces saca un pie de la cama. Come de todo aunque prefiere lo salado y no tiene hábitos tóxicos. Le gustan el vino y el té. Teniendo en cuenta los trastornos uretrales, los articulares, algunos síntomas mentales y generales y los antecedentes blenorrágicos prescribo Medorrhinum 10 mil K, 2 tomas separadas 12 horas. Al mes siguiente JM dice estar muy bien de la alergia “apenas he tenido algunos picores. Muy bien a nivel urinario. Se me han intensificado algunas cosillas: me salió un poco eccema en con los codos y rodillas y funcional. tengo unaHe molestia en elmuy hombro izqdo.,deque ya tenía, cierta impotencia entrenado bien estos días.” JM vino por la consulta durante un año. Sé por relaciones interpuestas que las molestias del hombro izquierdo fueron a más y que ha estado haciendo rehabilitación sin grandes resultados. Le han diagnosticado finalmente una plexitis braquial que según los traumatólogos es la causa de la atrofia deltoidea. La alergia es menos intensa y las molestias uretrales han desaparecido por completo. VALORACIÓN Aunque a la hora de valorar los resultados del tratamiento el periodo es realmente corto, es evidente que nos encontramos ante dos personas cuya patología es el resultado de la perturbación dinámica de srcen miasmático que conocemos como sycosis. La respuesta al remedio, incluyendo la vuelta de síntomas antiguos, no deja lugar a dudas. La localización de la patología y la naturaleza de la misma tampoco. En la figura paterna la impregnación sycósica es, como mínimo adquirida, en la del hijo heredada. En el caso de JM es difícil precisar el momento de la sycotización. Hay un intervalo de 5-6 años entre ambas gonorreas y no siempre es fácil establecer una cronología de las afecciones. Desde niño había padecido eczemas. Entre las blenorragias aparece un crup a orillas del mar. JM no puede fijar con precisión el momento de aparición de las molestias uretro-prostáticas y las del aparato locomotor. El cuadro alérgico aparece posteriormente y no sabemos qué papel juegan las vacunas recibidas, pero podría pensarse que incrementan la sycotización. De todas formas el cuadro es de claridad meridiana y parece un caso de libro si nos atenemos a lo que los clásicos consideran manifestaciones de la Sycosis. En el caso de JD, aunque diferente, muestra con nitidez la herencia sycósica. Durante el embarazo la madre hace una diabetes gestacional que miasmáticamente no sabría cómo catalogar. Pero él nace, al parecer, con un quiste, diagnosticado como resto embrionario, que después de supurar es extirpado dando lugar a una metástasis mórbida cuyo órgano diana son los oídos. Siempre tuvo catarros. Tiene los antecedentes blenorrágicos y un temperamento extremado con trastornos del comportamiento, que bien podrían ser consecuencia de la supresión, que encaja con el perfil del remedio que recibió. Para los clásicos también sería un cuadro franco de Sycosis. Para ilustrarlo una pequeña reseña de la clase sobre la Sycosis impartida en el curso de postgrado en Barcelona por el Dr. Joan Mora basándose en las aportaciones de T. Henry Allen. Según este autor cada miasma tiene unas determinadas modalidades reaccionales, unos órganos diana y unos determinados tipos de alteración o lesión. En el caso de la Sycosis las repasamos a continuación. SYCOSIS Modalidades reaccionales: - Agravación por los cambios barométricos, los cambios estacionales, por la humedad, al amanecer, por el reposo. - Mejoría por el movimiento, presión, aparición de verrugas,

secreciones catarrales. - Largas convalescencias, recaídas frecuentes, naturaleza insidiosa de los trastornos. - Secreciones excoriantes y fétidas. Olor a pescado podrido. - Supresiones: de secreciones catarrales, verrugas, fístulas, fibromas. - Consecuencias de la supresión: - Enfermedades en los órganos pélvicos: inflamación, hipertrofia, quistes. - Enfermedades reumáticas. - Cefaleas, neuralgias. - Alteraciones mentales, estados psicóticos. Órganos diana: - Genital y órganos pélvicos - Órganos urinarios Mucosas, secreciones catarrales - Tejido peri-articular: reumatismos, gota. - Acción hemolítica: anemia. Alteración infiltración, lesional: Estasis en los tejidos que produce infiltración y endurecimiento. Excesiva reacción del tejido conectivo, muscular y tendinoso. - Anemia: color pálido ceroso. Soy consciente de mis limitaciones en el ámbito miasmático, es un tema al que me he aproximado con cautela, obviamente por el ansia de respuesta a numerosos interrogantes clínicos. La cautela es el resultado de la profunda complejidad del tema que nos ocupa. De entrada la aprehensión del concepto resulta dificultosa para personas, la mayoría de nosotros, procedentes del paradigma mecanicista, cuando entramos en contacto con las bases teóricas de la homeopatía. Para la hermenéutica médica de dicho paradigma la comprensión del vitalismo y de la teoría miasmática es tarea muy ardua. En segundo lugar es una disciplina árida de la que pocos colegas tienen conocimientos amplios y contrastados. En consecuencia la actividad clínica, la bibliografía y el trasiego de información se resienten. Finalmente existen y surgen diferentes interpretaciones y escuelas, lo que determina que no siempre las mismas palabras sean los mismos conceptos. Al laberinto mórbido se le suma el laberinto conceptual miasmático. Una pequeña muestra. La SYCOSIS según Hahnemann, Kent y Ghatak. Para Hahnemann[1] la Sycosis o enfermedad condilomatosa era el resultado de una afección venérea, la gonorrea, que no siempre era sycotizante. Es el miasma que menos enfermedades crónicas importantes produce. La sycosis era una enfermedad interna constitucional cuya manifestación externa eran los condilomas, que en primera instancia aparecían en los genitales. La supresión de esta manifestación local podía dar lugar a la aparición de condilomas o formaciones verrugosas en otras zonas del cuerpo, incluso a otras afecciones entre las que destaca la contractura tendinosa de los flexores sobre todo de las manos. Para Hahnemann el tratamiento de elección de esta situación era Thuya occidentalis. En caso de Sycosis complicada con Psora desarrollada hay que tratar primero la enfermedad más grave, es decir la Psora. Para Kent sin Psora previa no pueden existir ni Sycosis, ni Syphilis, ni enfermedad alguna: "es la primera enfermedad verdadera de la especie humana, que es una enfermedad espiritual, desde cuyo estado primitivo la raza humana progresó a lo que se podría llamar la verdadera susceptibilidad a la Psora"[2]. Kent relaciona a la Psora con el pensamiento pérfido y a la Sycosis y a la Syphilis con la acción. Existen para Kent[3] dos tipos de gonorrea, ambas contagiosas. Una aguda, la más frecuente, que se resuelve sin problemas y que, aún en caso de supresión, no sycotiza. cuyos es efectos aparecen trasLalasycotizante supresión.esSilalacrónica constitución fuerteconstitucionales aparecerá una descarga catarral nasal, de no ser así aparecerán afecciones más profundas en forma de anemias, cuadros reumáticos, afecciones hepáticas, pulmonares, renales…El contagio se puede producir en la fase primaria

(flujo uretral) y en la secundaria. En este segundo caso la reaparición del flujo uretral en el tratamiento curativo no es preceptiva. Si se establece un estado sycótico, el remedio será de carácter antisycótico, de no ser así el remedio será antipsórico. También puede heredarse. Para Ghatak la Sycosis es una afectación del organismo después de padecer una gonorrea "hecha desaparecer por un tratamiento no homeopático o por sí misma"[4]. Puede ser adquirida o heredada. Ghatak sigue el esquema kentiano de pensamiento-acción va "más allá hace al caracterizar el psiquismola característico de cadapero miasma: La Psora a la mente sobre-activa, Sycosis mal-activa y la Syphilis inactiva. La Psora es rápida, la Sycosis mala, la Syphilis lenta. El psórico es inteligente, el sycótico dañino y el syphilítico idiota"[5]. Para Ghatak “la Psora es la más difundida pero la Sycosis es la más peligrosa e insidiosa”[6]. En caso de interacciones miasmáticas, a juicio de Ghatak el tratamiento debe dirigirse en primer lugar al miasma predominante. CONCLUSIÓN No pretendo hacer una reseña de las diferentes aportaciones a la teoría miasmática, podríamos seguir con Allen, con Roberts, con Proceso, con Masi, con Giampietro, Sankaran…. pero vemos ya como desde el principio existen diferentes interpretaciones. Para Hahnemann la Sycosis es el miasma que menos enfermedades crónicas produce. Para Ghatak es el miasma más peligroso e insidioso. Para Hahnemann en caso de complicación miasmática primero hay que tratar la Psora; para Kent, y más claramente para Ghatak, el miasma predominante. Para Hahnemann los remedios antisycósicos son Thuya y Nitric Acidum. Ghatak establece una clasificación de remedios según su actividad miasmática. Para Masi todos los remedios son trimiasmáticos… vemos pues como el laberinto, al que hacíamos mención anteriormente, se complica y se complicaría aún más si continuáramos con otros autores. Asistimos, como en la vida y en los seres vivos, a la unidad y diversidad de la Homeopatía. Asimismo, asistiremos a situaciones clínicas diversas, unas sencillas otras complejas, pero es evidente que la noción de bloqueo, de impregnación miasmática, o como se le quiera llamar, debe estar presente en nuestro pensamiento a la hora de comprender el caso (diagnóstico, pronóstico, evolución) y de establecer estrategias de prescripción. En estos momentos sabemos un poco cómo es el hijo de JM. No sabemos cómo serán los de JD y qué impregnaciones miasmáticas, radiactivas, transgénicas, vacunales, químicas, tendrán. Teniendo en cuenta la creciente presencia de tóxicos biológicos en el medio ambiente, los cambios medioambientales acelerados y el ritmo trepidante, esto es, nuevas condiciones específicas enfermantes, el "tenebroso laberinto"[7] mórbido puede complicar cada vez más la comprensión del caso y la clínica. Los médicos, y en especial los homeópatas, no deberían perder de vista esto último, a veces la búsqueda del simillimum perdido nos hace olvidar lo más elemental. En expresión tomada del Dr. Isidre Lara, el parágrafo nº 4 del Órganon de Hahnemann sigue siendo el gran olvidado en la clínica homeopática. Un pequeño apunte sobre la gonorrea Como sin duda todos sabemos la gonorrea es una de transmisión sexual cuyo agente causal esenfermedad la Neisseriainfecto-contagiosa gonorrhoeae. El gonococo es un microorganismo que crece formando parejas (diplococos) y el emparejamiento hace posible la enfermedad. La clínica en el hombre suele ser franca en forma de uretritis con secreción purulenta. Puede dar lugar a

epididimitis aguda unilateral. Dependiendo de los hábitos sexuales puede aparecer gonorrea ano-rectal y faríngea. Aunque poco frecuentes puede ser asintomática. En la mujer suele ser asintomática aunque puede producir uretritis, vulvo-vaginitis, con escozor, proctitis y faringitis. En el 15% de los casos se produce, por progresión ascendente, la enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica (EIP) que puede dar lugar a endometritis, salpingitis, abscesos tubáricos y peritonitis pelviana, pudiendo llegar a afectar a la cápsula hepática. La madre infectar al neonato que antes, durante parto, dando lugar apuede la oftalmía neonatorum, antaño era yladespués primera del causa de ceguera en USA. Más significativa, por el tropismo que descubre, es la infeccion gonocócica diseminada (IGD) cuyas manifestaciones más habituales son la artritis séptica y el síndrome artritis-dermatitis. Se dice que en general la causa es una bacteriemia (75% son mujeres y el momento la menstruación) y se observa en el 0,5-3% de los infectados siendo la causa principal de artritis séptica en adultos jóvenes. El síndrome artritis-dermatitis afecta asimétricamente las rodillas, los codos y otras articulaciones distales y en un porcentaje alto se asocia a la periartritis o tenosinovitis, lesiones cutáneas pápulo-maculosas habitualmente en las extremidades que se resuelven espontáneamente, pero la artritis puede afectar a otras articulaciones. El miasma sycósico debe estar muy extendido si tomamos en consideración los casos de gonorrea recogidos por los servicios de vigilancia epidemiológica que, por otro lado, casi siempre son inferiores a los reales, debido a la infranotificación. En los Estados Unidos se sabe que hubo un pico máximo a mitad de los años setenta, decreciendo paulatinamente de modo que en 1987 las tasas eran de 324 cada 100.000 habitantes. En Suecia en esas mismas fechas las tasas eran de 31 por 100.000 habitantes. En España es enfermedad de declaración obligatoria desde 1982. En la gráfica de morbilidad por enfermedades venéreas en España se observa un pico máximo en 1985 con 31.250 casos notificados, en 1999 los registros dan la cifra de 1.465 casos. De los datos se deduce que la irrupción del SIDA ha debido tener una repercusión notoria en los hábitos sexuales de los occidentales, ¿será esto lo que ayude a disminuir la incidencia de la sycosis?, ¿tendrían razón Kent y Ghatak?

G:\2\International Academy of CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY - SILICEA.mht SILICEA (sil) SYNONYMS : KIESELERDE, TERRA-SILICEA, ACIDUM SILICIUM.

The proving of Silicea upon the healthy subject was published by Hahnemann in vol. iii. of the "Chronic Diseases," 1828. Additional symptoms are found in the " Materia Medica" of Hartlaub and Trinks, vol. iii., and a fragment by Wahle, in the "Archiv fur Homeopathische Heilkunst," xv., 2, 87. These are all incorporated in Hahnemann's essay in the second edition of "Chronic Diseases." A proving by Ruoff was published in " Hygea," viii. (1838), and one by Hencke in "Allg. Horn. Zeitung," 55, 17 (1857). A proving of Aqua Silicata, by Becker, was published in " Hygea," xxii. (1847), and a paper by Dr. Colby in "New England Medical Gazette" (1871). In our study of Silicea we shall follow Hahnemann's essay in the second edition of " Chronic Diseases." Special Analysis 1. HEAD, (A.) SENSORIUM. Confusion in the head; mental exertion is very difficult; confusion in speaking; it is difficult seize thegeneral right expression; brief conversation causes confusion of the to head and lassitude ; a memory is enfeebled; dullness in the head without pain, as if it were too full of blood. Vertigo is a very prominent symptom. It occurs when the prover rises from the recumbent position or from stooping, or when sitting or walking. Also when looking upward. It seems to come from the dorsal region up through the nape of the neck into the head (as does the headache of Silicea). The vertigo makes the prover incline to fall forward or to the left, and is so severe that he fears he shall fall. It is aggravated by motion, and by looking upward, and is accompanied by nausea. (B.) HEADACHE. The headache of Silicea is characteristic. location is for the most part in the forehead, extending often to the templesItsand involving the eyes, especially the right eye and temple. There is also a characteristic aching and pain, extending as if from the back up the nape of the neck

through the occiput to the vertex. Many of the pains, especially the pressing, aching pain, are described as affecting the whole head. The pains are chiefly aching, pressing; also tearing and boring; and heaviness and fullness, as though there were too much blood in the head. The headache occurs after mental exertion or annoyance. It is decidedly aggravated by mental or bodily exertion, by quick movements of the head or body, convert dulldarkness, aching pain into acuteand, stabs ; byisnoise and by light. Itwhich is relieved by the quiet, lying down, which characteristic of Silicea, by wrapping the head up warmly. This condition, relieved by warmth, we shall meet in other Silicea symptoms. It is to be remarked that the relief is not afforded by simple pressure, as with Menyanthes, but by warmth, E. G., by warm-water compresses. Indeed, the pressure of the hat increases the occipital headache. The concomitants are pain in the eyes when the globes are revolved laterally in the orbits, chilliness and nausea and vomiting. The similarity of this headache to that of Spigelia, Paris quadrifolia, Cocculus and Gelsemium, should be noted. The Silicea headache is mostly on the right side. The scalp is sensitive to touch; the hair falls out when combed; upon the scalp are itching pustules. 2. EYES. In the orbits, pressure and soreness; the eyes pain in the morning, as if they were full of sand and too dry; the lids quiver; they are agglutinated; they are spasmodically constricted, and can hardly be opened; there are symptoms of conjunctivitis, with moderate lachrymation and mucopurulent discharge. Itching in the eyes; aching of the globe, with redness of the sclerotica. Considerable in paroxysms; muscae confused beforephotophobia the eyes; throbbing in the ears; shakesvolitantes; the eyes soobjects that objects move up and down. From the paroxysmal character of some of these symptoms, it would seem probable that most of the eye affections of Silicea are sympathetic. 3. EARS. Itching, aching, drawing, pinching pains in the external meatus. These pains some times occur, and often are aggravated, when blowing the nose or swallowing. The external ear is swollen, with discharge of fluid from the meatus, with hissing noise and deafness; deafness; noises of various kinds in the ears; hard and painful swelling of the parotid gland. ItSilicea wouldcorresponds appear from to these symptoms (as well results) that a catarrhal affection of as thefrom ear,clinical both external and middle, and of the Eustachian tube, producing deafness. There is also exalted sense of hearing, probably sympathetic, with headache.

4. NOSE. Tenderness of the septum narium and of the end of the nose. Pressure and aching at root of nose. Drawing pain in root of nose, and zygoma. Throbbing in nostrils, extending into the brain, with throbbing headache in the forehead. Fluent coryza, acrid watery discharge. Discharge of bloody mucus. Epistaxis. Dryness in the choanse. Morsels of food lodge in the choanae on swallowing. The sense of smell is unnaturally keen. 5. FACE. The cheeks,From lips and are affected. Theappear complexion is pale, as after a long sickness. timechin to time white spots upon the cheek. In the malar bones and behind the ears and in the temporo-maxillary articulation, pains of a drawing, tearing character, aggravated by motion and by touch. Painful constricting spasms in temporo-maxillary articulation, and then in the temple. Itching and papular eruption on the forehead and nose, cheeks and lips, painful when touched. 6. LIPS. Vesicular eruption on the margin of the lips, smarting when touched, and very painful. The corners of the mouth are ulcerated. The submaxillary glands are swollen and painful to touch and on swallowing. 7. GUMS AND TEETH. Gums swollen, sensitive and ulcerated. Vesicles on the gums. Dental ulcers, painful from contact of cold water. Toothache, shooting and soreness, chiefly in carious teecn, worse at night, aggravated always by cold air and water, sometimes also by very hot food, as well as by cold, accompanied by sore gums, heat in head and burning cheeks. 8. MOUTH. The mouth and lips are dry (primary, 30 hours) ; much saliva (secondary, 8 days). 9. TASTE. Bitter, foul, bloody, sour. 10. TONGUE. Sensation as if a hair lay on the tongue. Tongue sore at the tip, coated and numb. The right half is swollen. 11. THROAT. In the hard palate and in the velum, itching and stitches. Uvula swollen and elongated. Itching at orifice of Eustachian tube, with hoarseness and dry throat. Sticking pain in the throat, only when swallowing, the throat being painful when touched; sore throat as though a lump were on the left side of the throat. 12. OESOPHAGUS. Difficult deglutition; the food passes slowly into the stomach. 13. STOMACH. Sensations of weight and pressure in the stomach. Pinching and griping pains. Gnawing sensation, relieved by lying with the limbs drawn up. Most of eating, these sensations and by many other and symptoms come on orby are worse after are increased walking, are accompanied flatulence.

(A.) APPETITE. Unnatural hunger, especially toward evening, but no real appetite ; the food will not go down; after eating a small quantity, nausea; also a sensation of weakness in the stomach. After eating, eructations, tasteless, also acid; feeling as of a stone in the stomach ; also vertigo without nausea ; also deafness, chilliness, palpitation, sweat of the face, sleepiness, heartburn, hiccough. Aversion to meat. (B.) THIRST. Increased. 14. HYPOCHONDRIA. Across the stomach and hypochondria griping and pinching pain in parox ysms for weeks. Drawing and pinching pain extending to hip-joints. Drawing and pinching pain extending from the hypochondria to the spinal column. (A.) RIGHT HYPOCHONDRIUM. Continued pressure, stitches, pain posteriorly (near the renal region). (B.) LEFT HYPOCHONDRIUM. Pain as if something would tear away. 15. ABDOMEN. Abdomen distended and hard; not much flatulence. Tearing, griping and cutting pains, affecting chiefly the umbilical region, occurring or worse when walking, relieved by applying warm cloths. Pain in the inguinal region, as though a hernia would protrude. The inguinal glands are swollen and painful. Much offensive flatus. 16. STOOL. Constipation, with desire for stool. Sensation as though faeces remained in the rectum, which has not power to expel them. When, after much violent effort of the abdominal muscles, faeces have been nearly expelled, they suddenly recede into the rectum. This symptom has often been verified in practice. Silicea produces likewise diarrhoea. Stools are pappy with mucus, like particles of membrane ; or are fluid, scanty and putrid-smelling, and are attended by a biting, burning sensation in the anus ; or they consist only of bloody mucus, with burning and biting at the anus. Frequent desire for stool, with chilliness and nausea. After stool, burning in anus; pressure in head; constriction of chest; relief of colic, and great exhaustion; he falls into a slumber from which colic wakes him. 17. ANUS AND RECTUM. Stitching, cutting and burning in rectum and anus. Stitches toward the genital organs. Moisture of the anus.

LARYNX AND TRACHEA. Hoarseness; roughness and dryness in the throat, with irritation, inducing cough after lunch. Sore feeling in top of larynx. Tickling itching in the region of the supra-sternal fossa, which threatens suffocation, until a deep shattering cough comes on, which lasts several hours, and produces pain in abdomen and throat. (C.) COUGH. Deep, exhausting; at first dry, then loose, with abundant purulent expectoration, provoked by tickling in the throat and supra-sternal fossa; by a sensation as if a hair lay from tip of tongue to the trachea and produced a tickling, compelling to cough, hack and scrape; by tickling in larynx at night; excited by cold drinks (Rhus), by every act of speaking; by lying down at night; occurring chiefly at evening, and at night when lying.

LOWER. Similar sensations to those described in the upper extremities. Pains and stitches under the great toe-nails, very severe; sweat of the feet, especially of the soles and between the toes, which become abraded and sore from walking; very offensi ve smell of the feet, without sweat; the limbs and feet feel very tired, and as if paralyzed ; painful tonic spasm in the feet and toes during a long walk. 26. SLEEP. The prover is wakeful in the evening, by reason of thronging thoughts; the sleep is either frequently interrupted by frightened waking, or disturbed by dreams and fantasies; at night the circulation is excited, with throbbing in all the vessels and a jerking of the whole body; burning in the stomach, with nausea and vomiting of food, and flatulence; anguish and restlessness; sleepwalking ; nightmare. 27. Fever in a definite form is not produced by Silicea. Some chilliness, especially after lying down at night, and heat during the night, with thirst; copious sweat at night, especially toward morning. 28.vesicular, SKIN. In many itching or burning itching. or upon places the chest, thighs and back. The Itching skin is eruption, sensitive papular and irritable, and the whole body is painful as if beaten. Abrasions readily take on the suppurative process. In ulcers already existing, there are boring or aching, stitching pains, with abundant formation of pus. 29. MIND. The faculties are depressed, and memory weakened. 30. DISPOSITION. Anxiety and restlessness, such as follow fright; peevishness and angry irritation; ill humor and contrariety, with disgust of life. General Analysis 1. VITAL POWER. Silicea manifests but little distinct action upon the vital powers. The sensorium is somewhat depressed in its activity. The special

senses of sight, hearing and smell are exalted in connection with the headache hereafter to be described, but no perversions of sense are recorded. The peculiar pains affecting the head, nape of neck and the eyes, show a definite field of action. The muscular system exhibits only a moderate degree of depression. The sphincters are not affected. 2. ORGANIC SUBSTANCE. On the other hand, the organic substance of the body is profoundly and affected.and The mucous membrane of the large intestine and of thevariously nares, pharynx respiratory tract generally is affected, secretions being increased, and so modified in respect of, at least, the respiratory tract, as to resemble pus. Pustular eruptions appear on the skin, abrasions readily take on suppurative action, and ulcers already existing increase in size and activity, and become the seat of stitching, boring pains. Clinical experience abundantly confirms these deductions. 3. SPHERE OF ACTION. The head, orbit, eyes, and at least the upper part of the spinal cord; the nasal and pharyngeal mucous membrane, including the Eustachian tube and the middle ear; the large intestine, 'the bronchial mucous membrane and the genital organs, the skin and the lymphatic glands. appear to comprise the sphere of action of this remedy. 4. The sensations which it produces are in the head and eyes, pressing, shooting and tearing; in the limbs, a paralytic weakness; in the skin, itching and burning itching; and in ulcers, a sticking and burning pain. 5. PERIODICITY. Not marked. 6. PECULIARITIES. It at once appears on reading the pathogenesis of Silicea that the symptoms, with hardly an exception, are aggravated by cold and decidedly ameliorated by warmth. This is noticed of the headache, which is relieved by wrapping the head up warmly, not by the pressure of envelopes, as is the case with Menyanthes, Veratrum and some other drugs, butwarmth by the warmth. It is true, also,(like of the whichbyare relieved by ; of the cough, which thatabdominal of Rhus) ispains, provoked cold drinks and relieved by warm ones ; and of the shoulder pains, which come on at night when the shoulders are uncovered, and are relieved by covering (in contradistinction to Ledum, the pains of which, at night, compel the throwing off of the bed covering). The only apparent exception to this statement is found in the aversion to warm food; the prover can tolerate only cold food. 7. CHARACTERISTICS. The characteristics of Silicea are summed up as follows by Bïenninghausen : "Profuse sweat of the head, the body being dry, or nearly so. (Rhus toxicodendron has sweat of . the body, except the head.) Desponding disposition, OF; the pericranium; relieved warmth ; pale, earthysensibility complexion disgust for meatheadache, and for warm food;byabdominal pains, relieved by warmth; much sneezing, with acrid coryza; going to sleep of that part of the body on which one lies; unhealthy state of skin; many

ulcers form; sleeplessness, on account of orgasm of blood; quickened pulse; chilliness, even by every movement." Practical Applications From the very year that its proving was published, Silicea has taken high rank as a remedy for cases involving profuse suppuration, causing abscesses to come speedily to maturity and moderating secretion of pus. In this' regard, and as a remedy for "simple ulcer," it hasthe a brilliant clinical record. It seems to be equally applicable whether the suppurative process be set up in the cellular or muscular tissue, in a gland or in a joint. In fistula lachrymalis, Silicea has not infrequently been beneficial, sometimes completely curing. It compares with Natrum muriaticum and Petroleum in this respect. It has gained a high reputation for the arrest and cure of whitlow, as well as for the affection of the matrix of the nail, popularly called "ingrowing toe-nail," and to cure which the toe-nail is so often unnecessarily torn out. When Silicea fails in these cases, Graphites often succeeds. Silicea is a most valuable and efficient remedy in caries and in periostitis. It is related in these respects to Asafcetida, Graphites and Conium maculatum, and to Platinic chloride, which I have used successfully in two cases of caries of the tarsus, and for a knowledge of which I am indebted to Dr. Wm. S. Searle, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Its value in affections of the bones would naturally suggest its use in rachitis in children, in which the symptoms of "sweating in the head only," and tenderness of the surface of the body, indicate its homeopathicity. (Hughes.) It has been recommended from experience as a valuable remedy in TABES DORSALIS, though not so well indicated, I should think, as Alumina or Ruta. Where a remedy is so decidedly indicated, and has proved so successful in certain defined morbid processes of a chronic nature, such as suppuration and rachitic dyscrasia, there is danger of our overlooking its applicability to more acute and transitory functional diseases; we are likely to have a too limited estimate of its powers to help the sick. The headache produced by Silicea is so characteristic and well defined, and, withal, corresponds, to a form so frequently met with, that it is one of the remedies most frequently employed by me for headache. The pain involves the occiput, nape of the neck, vertex and the eyes, or generally the right eye. It is a sticking or a tearing pressing pain, generally beginning in the neck and shoulders and going upward to the occiput and vertex, and extending through the head to the right eye. Its conditions are characteristic, for it is much aggravated by motion, noise or light, the senses of sight and hearing being unnaturally acute. The patient prefers to lie down in a dark, quiet room. It is relieved by warm applications to violent, is accompanied and vomiting, andtheit head. passesWhen awaymost during sleep.it The face is pale.by In nausea its conditions of aggravation this headache resembles that of Spigelia, but the latter affects the left eye and temple rather than the right, and is not relieved by warmth;

but it is mitigated by pressure, and the pain does not come from the neck and shoulders. The headache of Paris quadrifolia (a valuable remedy in headache) has some resemblance to that of Silicea. The sensation is, however, a kind of tightness, as if the cerebral membranes were on the stretch, with pressure on the temples and a very painful feeling, as though a cord were stretched tightly from theby back of theand eyeballs to the of the brain. This headache is aggravated thinking relieved bycenter pressure. The eyeballs feel too large for the orbits. The headache of Menyanthes is a pressure from above downward; or, in the forehead, from without inward; or, in the temples, a lateral inward pressure, with pressure in the eyeballs. It is relieved by compression of the head, but neither this nor the other remedies except Silicea has mitigation by warmth. I mention these remedies (Paris quadrifolia and Menyanthes) because, like Silicea, I believe they are not so frequently used in treating headache as they might be with advantage. In chronic bronchial affections also, Silicea is of value. The cough and sputa furnish characteristic indications, prominent among which is, that the cough is "provoked by cold drinks." I may add, from observation, that the pains, soreness and weakness of the chest, are relieved by inhaling moist warm air. In uterine or vaginal catarrh, Silicea has proved a valuable remedy, the occurrence and character of the leucorrhoea furnishing an indication. GENERAL VIEW OF ITS ACTION In the pathogenesis of Silicea the action of this substance is shown to be marked, first, upon the nutrition, the vegetative sphere ; emaciation, loss of appetite,on retarded digestion, constipation, to the head,and but profuse that part of the body; offensivesweat sweatconfined of the feet, swelling suppuration of the lymphatic may be cited in evidence. The sweat confined to the head is a pathognomonic symptom of rachitis, and the inference from it that Silicea might be of service in this disease is confirmed by clinical experience. Experience has likewise confirmed Hahnemann's declaration that Silicea has a wonderful control over the suppurative process, whether in the soft tissues, the periosteum, or the bone itself. SECOND. Upon the nervous system Silicea exerts a peculiar action. With evidence of exhaustion, furnished by sensation of weakness, paralysis, etc., there is an exalted condition of susceptibility to nervous stimuli ; the special senses are morbidly keen, the brain cannot bear even moderate concussion, nor theand spine concussion pressure,and andwarmth the whole surface is unnaturally tender sensitive, cold or aggravates relieves. There is, then, an erethism conjoined with exhaustion.

Nor is this all. This erethism, which is not evanescent, but endures for some time, is of such a nature that, while it lasts, spasm is easily induced— indeed, spasm often occurs without any evident provocation, or with only the provocation of muscular exertion and fatigue. Thus, for example, the sensation of weakness and the cramp in the feet at night and when walking, the sensation of weakness and the spasm of the thumb and hand when writing, the sensation of paralysis in the rectum and the spasm of the sphincter ani the when making to passobserved faeces, under a spasm which characterizes peculiar formanof effort constipation Silicea, and so often cured by it. Clinical experience has taught us that general spasms occur on slight provocation in case of this Silicea erethism. As an instance of this condition of the nervous system, we may cite the headache of Silicea. It comes on after much exertion, which has exhausted or worried the patient. Its seat is the supra-orbital region, generally the right, or the eye itself, and the pain extends along the base of the brain to the occiput, and down the nape. Noise, motion, light and concussion are intolerable. Repose, quiet, darkness and external warmth give relief. In subjects whose nutrition is at fault, aching and sharp pains in the nape of the neck frequently occur on the occasion of any nervous strain or exhaustion, and when they exist are aggravated by exertion or excitement. Silicea presents an analogous symptom, with similar conditions. For patients, on the other hand, in whom fatigue and impaired nutrition produce sluggishness and inaction of the nervous system, Silicea is not at all indicated. It is, for example, very different from Lycopodium in this regard. The following clinical case illustrates the action of Silicea, as above described: August 19th, 1869, I was consulted in regard to A. G. W., resident in Boston; a well-grown, bright-looking lad, twelve years old, of dark complexion and hair. His health had been good until the injury soon to be described. There was no inheritance of spasmodic disease. When he was brought to me he was suffering from epileptiform spasms, of which he had for three months had one or more every day. The history of his injury and its results may best be given from his mother's manuscript as follows (dated March 4th, 1870): "On the 5th February, 1869, Albert fell upon the ice, making a very severe bruise directly over the right eye. He said, when he got up from the fall, he was a little dizzy, but it did not hurt him any. That night he complained of being very chilly; the next morning on rising, seemed as bright and well as usual, but night late inearlier the afternoon complained of feeling tired,heand wanted to retire that than usual. The following morning rose with the same tired feeling, accompanied by chilliness, was very quiet, and said he did not feel well enough to go to school. During the week commencing February 7th he was very quiet and not well, the chilliness continuing, and

he complained a great deal of his eyes, which were weak; and he could not look at print or anything that required close observation; and at times said everything looked dark as if it was night. He also complained of dizziness, and felt as if his limbs would give out and he should fall down while walking. "After that week I do not think he complained of objects appearing dark, but all the other symptoms continued, with pain and swelling of his bowels. This last hevery did much, not complain of sobeing muchswollen, the first full twoand or three but itsymptom increased the bowels hard aweeks, great part of the time, particularly late in the afternoon and at night. "I think I may safely say it was in the early part of March he began to be very restless and uneasy, seldom getting to sleep before ten o'clock or eleven, or even later. The only way he could be induced to be quiet or lie still, was by reading to him. As time advanced, that would quiet him but a very short time ; he would start up suddenly, running through the rooms, up and down stairs, as fast as he could, and finally throwing himself on the lounge, would sink into unconsciousness. These turns gradually became more severe. I could hardly detect any change from day to day; only by looking back a week or a fortnight could I tell that he grew worse. The attacks grew more frequent and more severe until he was rigid (every limb and every part of his body), his eyes became set, and sometimes one side of him would be convulsed, jerking and twitching. These spasms would vary, lasting from five to twenty minutes usually; but the most severe ones were thirty minutes. From these he would gradually relax, his eyes would close gently and he seemed to sink into an unconscious sleep. At first he would sleep a short time, rouse up suddenly, and always ask where he had been and what time it was. "After a time, he would not wake from these unconscious turns, but would seem to pass into a natural sleep for the night. These spasms he had every night with but few exceptions after May 1st. Commencing about six, p. M., or shortly after, and having from four to six spasms, and sometimes more, until near ten o'clock, and, during the intervals between the spasms, he would listen to reading, or be crawling over the bed, pulling the pillows round his neck, tossing them up, and doing such unnatural things, apparently not conscious. The latter part of July, and after, he would at times have these attacks in the day; then they seemed to be brought on by over-excitement, extreme fatigue, or disappointment. On one or two occasions, while walking in the fields with his father, he fell down, lying a few moments, then recovering. "His appetite was very changeable all through his trouble ; sometimes he wanted to eat too much, then for a long time would have but little appetite. "He was very nervous, and could hardly be induced to sit down to take his meals; was constantly in motion, wanting some theafter), time. he When going into his room to prepare for the nightamusement (during Julyalland would, before removing any of his clothing, GO into these spasms. His mind always seemed active, bright, and quick, except when in these spasms, and I have not had occasion for a moment to think it was at all disturbed ; in fact,

he seemed more keen and quick than before his injury. His disposition was very much changed. Being naturally pleasant, cheerful and happy, and quite persevering and firm, he became peevish and irritable, very persistent in his own way and wishes; always unhappy if opposed, and seemed in this respect altogether unlike himself. "He continued as I have described him, apparently growing worse, until he consulted you in August. from that weseemed began to hope (through fears) that In heabout was aone verymonth little better; the time, attacks lighter, more severe ones once in a few days, then less severe again, the severe turns growing less frequent, with longer intervals between. In this way he showed improvement for a time, then would pass a night or two without a spasm ; then three or four nights, more or less ; the spasms diminishing in this way, until the last spasm he had was October 23, 1869. Since that time, he has been extremely nervous at times, and showed strong symptoms of spasms; but these passed off without further trouble. Twice since you discharged him he has been very nervous and excitable, and on these occasions, following your advice, I resorted to the powders for nervousness (Silicea 2°°), which seemed to have the desired effect. At times, when tired, he seems more nervous and irritable than is natural; but this wears off by degrees. It might be well for me to mention that a bath does not always affect him pleasantly, and quite recently he complained of feeling badly after getting into it, and appeared stupid and inactive; not because he remained in the bath too long; it seemed more the result of the shock when he first got into the water. Twice within the last two months it has affected him in this way. Aside from this and the nervousness, I am happy to say he seems quite well. In regard to medical treatment, there was no medicine advised by any physician consulted, before yourself, but the bromide of potassium, with great care to be taken respecting his diet, and the quantity, quality and regularity of his meals. Our family physician felt that unless an operation were performed, his trouble would result in loss of intellect, and that was the only treatment that could save him from such an affliction. We consulted one of the first surgeons in Boston regarding it; his opinion was, that it would not be a safe operation, and he did not think favorably of it. With the bromides and plenty of exercise in the open air on a farm, he might ultimately be better." The above account was written by the patient's mother, March 4th, 1870, and I have quoted it IN EXTENSO, because of its clear description and history of the srcin, progress and decline of the disease. I purpose now to supplement it from my clinical record, made while the case was under treatment, and which does not, in every particular, agree with the mother's narrative, made from recollection, four months after the last spasm occurred. I saw the patient at my office, for the first and only time (the treatment was conducted by correspondence), Augustand 19, 1869. appeared very bright and intelligent, responding promptly clearlyHewhen questioned. His mother described the case as already detailed, stating, however, that on the steamer, the preceding evening, he had had a worse attack than ever, in consequence, probably, of the excitement produced by traveling. She

described the attack as follows, saying it was like those he had had for a fortnight previous, though more severe and lasting longer: "When in the bedroom, and about to prepare for bed, he would fall or throw himself upon the bed, then he would plunge head foremost on hands and knees and thrust his head. against the bolster or the wall, seemingly unconscious of what he was doing. His friends were obliged to be ready to put cushions his in head andtothe wall him or object againstIf which he seemed aboutbetween to plunge, order guard from injury. touched, checked, or resisted while in this condition, he would bite or violently resist. After a time, from five to twenty minutes, he would sink upon the bed, become convulsed, and then generally sink into a deep sleep. The bowels were regular. Urine appeared normal. Appetite capricious. The seat of the injury appeared swollen and irregular to the touch, as though there had been a fracture of the outer table of the cranium and some displacement of the fragments. He said that stooping for any length of time produced a sharp pain in the right side of the forehead and heaviness over the eyes, so that he could not keep them open. I noticed a symptom which had never before been observed, viz.: That pressure upon the spine, in the lower part of the dorsal region, as from the fifth to the ninth dorsal vertebra, produced sharp pain in the right forehead, in the seat of the injury." His mother's attention being quietly called to this fact, she reported from time to time that it was a constant symptom so long as the spasms continued, and that it gradually disappeared, PARI PASSU, with the nervousness, which remained for . some months after the last spasm. Pathologically this symptom is one of great interest. The lad was much excited during my examination of his case and was quite loquacious, and on this account, and because of the peculiar combative disposition evinced in the attack of the previous night, I gave Hyoscyamus 200, ordering that all other medication should be discontinued. August 26. His mother reports that his condition is as before. She notices, however, that the spine is sensitive at the nape and throughout the cervical and upper dorsal regions, even more than below. Pressure upon the spine produces pain in the head. She had not noticed these symptoms before, but cannot say that they have not existed. Her attention was never directed to them. Appetite sometimes ravenous, sometimes very poor. Tenderness in the epigastrium is a constant symptom. The abdomen always large and protuberant. Calcarea carbonica 200. Sept. 10th. His mother reports that on the 8th he fell and struck his head in the same place, producing swelling and pain. He was unconscious for some time after the fall. Prior to this his spasms had seemed to be lighter, and his appetite had been more regular, but his excitement and irritability greater. Belladonna 200. Sept. 22d. He has occasionally passed a day without any spasm, but every few days has had a severe one. He is less irritable, and seems more like himself than since his injury. When excited he moves his eyeballs

continually, and snaps his eyelids together spasmodically for a short time. Belladonna 200 again. Sept. 28th. He took three doses of Belladonna. Had severe headache with spasms in the evening, and unconsciousness. His mother thought the medicine did not agree with him,—aggravated his nervousness and inclined him to spasms. She discontinued it. Calcarea carbonica 200. Oct. 9th. He improved for a few days. Then had more headache, and at night nervousness and spasms. He says it is pain in his head which makes him nervous, and he cannot keep still. The pain is sometimes in the forehead and sometimes in the side of the head. When the pain becomes very acute he passes into unconsciousness. This pain is in and around the seat of injury, and extends thence to the occiput. It is aggravated by motion and noise and relieved by warmth. Silicea 200, to be dissolved in water, a teaspoonful every six hours until some effect appears. Oct. 19th. He has been freer from headache since the last report, and has not complained of the pain at all. Oct. 28th. Was quite well and free from spasms till the 23d, on which day, having struck his foot while at play, and suffered a good deal of pain and some excitement there from, he had a hard spasm, passing off in unconsciousness. His eyes have been much better. Silicea 200, as before. Nov. 9th. No spasms nor unconscious turns since Oct. 23d. No complaint of pain or headache. There is no longer any tenderness of the spine, nor pain produced in the head by pressure on the spine. The nervous movement of the eyes is slight. He continued to improve steadily, except for a few days toward the end of November, when disordered digestion seemed to produce an increase of irritability, which, with the indigestion, was speedily relieved by a dose of Nux vomica 200, until Dec. 5th, when he complained, while taking a bath, in that water touched shoulderswas it caused pain the forehead, thewhen seat the of the injury. This his aggravation ascribed to in the effect of a blow on the head from a falling door the preceding day. No other bad effect resulted. After Dec. 4th he had only Saccharum lactis. Jan. 7th, 1870. Continues quite free from spasms, and grows steadily less irritable. No headache, pain or tenderness of the spine. Appetite regular and normal. Digestion and sleep good. Likes to read, and can take a lesson of an hour in length without fatigue. Discharged, with instructions to take a dose of Silicea 200 in case of any unusual amount of excitement or return of pain. The lad continued to improve without interruption, and in October, 1870, appeared perfectly well and resumed school. NoDecember, symptoms1871. of illness of any kind had appeared up toattendance Jan. 15th, at 1871, nor to On a review of this case, it appears that disturbance of the circulation was apparent, in a slight degree, within a week after the blow upon the head; that

the disturbance gradually increased, and was then replaced by nervous irritability, conjoined with a sense of physical prostration and with disturbances of nutrition, until, nearly two months after the injury, the first paroxysm occurred. The spasms increased in frequency and severity until he had been a month under homeopathic treatment. At what period the tenderness of the spine first existed we have no means of ascertaining. It continued until some time after the spasms ceased, declining in intensity as they became lessspecial severe.senses It is noteworthy that with but all this disturbance, the intellect and the were not blunted, came into a condition of erethism or exalted activity. And, moreover, that excitement from unusual stimulus, or from opposition, or from physical injury, caused an increase of nervous excitement, of tenderness of the spine, of headache, and of disposition to spasm. These features of the case are in marked correspondence with the pathogenetic action of Silicea. Reviewing the result of treatment, it appears that the bromides, though steadily given under skillful direction, had no effect to diminish irritability or control spasm. The effect of exercise in the open air on a farm, as recommended, was faithfully tried from May 1st to August 19th; but the lad grew steadily worse, and the more he exercised, even in moderation, the worse he was. Of the homeopathic remedies, Hyoscyamus probably did no good, and was not a wise prescription, being based on too partial a view of the case. Belladonna appeared to allay the violence of the spasms to some extent, and to moderate the nervous irritability. Under Calcarea carbonica the digestion and assimilation, which had been much impaired and perverted, were nearly restored to the normal state. It must be noted, however, that although in these respects improvement followed the use of these remedies, nevertheless, while they were being taken, the headache and tenderness of head and spine steadily increased, the spasmodic action of the eyes and lids set in and increased, and the spasms, though less frequent, increased in severity. The irritation of the nervous centers was evidently not controlled, and the case assumed more and more the aspect of a well-established centric epilepsy. While, therefore, the remedies produced beneficial results and undeniably contributed to the cure, they did not cover the entire case, and it is a question whether the ultimate favorable result would not have been more speedily attained had the Silicea been administered at an earlier date. This remedy I regard as the chief instrument in the cure. For, so soon as the patient came under its influence there was evident that mitigation of all the symptoms and their disappearance, one by one, which the homeopathist is wont to recognize as evidence that he has found in his remedy a similimum to the case. The amelioration began at once in the symptoms immediately referable to lesions of the nervous centers. The headache ceased; the spine became less tender; pressure upon it no longer caused pain in the seat of the injury. The susceptibility which had, under other remedies, persisted coincidently with improvement in other decreased. a word, the time Silicea until was the given,respects, universal rapidly improvement began;Inand it wasfrom scarcely interrupted child appeared perfectly well again.

Happily for the patient and his parents, no opportunity was afforded for obtaining by inspection a certain knowledge of the organic lesions existing in this case. Whether, as was supposed by the attending physician, a depression of the inner table of the cranium or a spicula of bone protruding therefrom, produced pressure upon the brain, and consequent irritation, or whether a low grade of inflammation resulted in tissue degeneration in some part of the encephalon, must be matter of conjecture; other hypotheses may be If the former, the recovery hardlythe have beenofexpected, canformed. hardly be explained. If the latter, could then under action remedies and a retrograde metamorphosis must have occurred, and the normal tissues must have gradually replaced again the degenerate substitutes. In any view, this was not a case in which we could reasonably anticipate a spontaneous complete restoration to health. The recovery, therefore, under the administration of homeopathic remedies is an interesting phenomenon; nor is the interest of the case the less that these remedies were all given singly and in the 200th potency.

What is Asperger’s Syndrome?

Asperger's Syndrome is a neurobiological disorder that is classified as one of the pervasive developmental disorders (PDD).

Often it may be incorrectly called Asperger's disease; however, it is actually a condition characterized by significant impairment in social interaction as well as the development of repetitive and restricted fields of interest, activities, and interests. Comparing Asperger's Syndrome and Autism

While there are some similarities between Asperger's Syndrome and Autism, individuals

with Asperger's usually have average to aboveaverage IQ, and do not demonstrate clinically

significant delays in language or self-help skills. While they may have an extremely good command of language and a very rich vocabulary, they are unable to use language appropriately in a social context and often speak in monotone, with

little nuance and inflection in their voice.

Children with Asperger's may or may not seek out social interaction, but always have difficulty in interpreting and learning the skills of social and emotional interaction with others, leading to significant impairment in relationships and peer interaction.

Although parents often notice problems at an early age, diagnosis is usually only made during preschool or later. Close

Diagnosing Asperger’s Syndrome

Asperger's Syndrome was first identified in 1944, but was only officially recognized as a diagnostic category in the DSM IV in 1994. As a result, many children were misdiagnosed over the years with ADD, ADHD, Autism, OCD, or schizophrenia. Many different terms are currently applied, leading to great confusion on the part of parents and educators. Asperger's Syndrome may also be referred to as high functioning autism (HFA), pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), pervasive developmental disorder - not otherwise specified (PDD - NOS), atypical PDD, or even nonverbal learning disability (NLD). There is still debate as to exactly how Asperger's Syndrome should be classified. In addition, it is not always an easy, clear-cut diagnosis to make. As a result, diagnostic errors continue to be

made and this often affects treatment, as well as access to appropriate help and information.

Asperger’s in Children

If you feel your child is unlike other children in terms of social interactions, communication, and behavior, and the symptoms outlined below

sound familiar, then it is advisable to get a professional opinion. Many parents notice that their child is developmentally different, but are often blinded by the fact that their child is very bright and even more advanced than age-mates in certain areas such as memory or vocabulary. It also often only becomes an issue when peer interactions are observed and problems arise, such as in school settings. The earlier you take your child for an evaluation, the more he or she will benefit from treatment should a diagnosis be confirmed, and specialized education can be arranged. Psychological & Communication Symptoms: •

• • •

• • • •

•

•

Struggles with nonverbal communication/gestures to regulate social interaction such as eye contact, facial expressions, body postures, and/or subtle conversational cues Fails to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level Doesn’t often seek out interactions and prefers to play alone Lacks reciprocity in social or emotional situations (often appears unaware of others' emotions) Lacks responsiveness Uses oddities of speech such as very formal tone void of slang Lacks variations in speech such as tone, pitch, and accent Misinterprets figurative speech, subtle humor or sarcasm as literal and illintended

Exhibits concentration problems, often caused by inability to ignore irrelevant stimuli, communication comprehension difficulties, or fixation on things besides task at hand Suffers from language regression , such as losing previously acquired ability to say certain words or sentences

Physical & Behavioral Symptoms: • • •

• •

•

•

Exhibits restricted and repetitive behavior Displays obsessive or inappropriate attachment to certain objects Remains inflexible and insists on certain rituals or routines, leading to intense distress when changed Shows signs of uncoordinated motor movements (clumsy) Shows signs of heightened sensitivity – tends to be distressed by loud noises, bright lights, or strong tastes or textures Displays abnormally intense preoccupations/fixation with certain activities or areas of interest (i.e. stamps, coins, flags, cars, or airplanes) Throws temper tantrums

Parents may find themselves going from one doctor to another, becoming more confused and frustrated in their attempts to help their child. It may be advisable to do research before making an appointment if you suspect Asperger’s syndrome, and note down your child’s symptoms and behaviors. Ask your family doctor to refer you to a reputable specialist that deals specifically with child developmental problems. Asperger’s in Adults

Like many disorders, sometimes an accurate diagnosis of Asperger’s is not reached until adulthood. However, while an adult with Asperger’s may develop language normally, they typically have extreme difficulty with social interactions, communication skills, and motor coordination. They are usually either painfully shy or obnoxiously outgoing, and as a result, are often misunderstood for their inappropriate reactions (or lack thereof). While they may function at a reasonable level, these difficulties can drastically affect their

daily lives, from struggling to develop peer or

personal relationships, becoming overwhelmed by sensory overload at grocery stores, and fixating on hobbies—all which interfere with the ability to hold a job. Proper assessment in adults should factor in cognitive and functional abilities with emphasis on psychological and communication, as well as any comorbid conditions. Left untreated, a severe case of Asperger’s can lead to serious harm for the individual as well as others , resulting from characteristics such as an innate lack of concern for consequences,ofsocietal naivety, and and misinterpretation relationships, rules, judgment. However, properly diagnosed and treated, many children and adults with Aspergers Syndrome can lead productive lives, especially if they are guided into a career which suits their skills and level of emotional, social and cognitive abilities. childhood symptoms In addition to the above that can persist into adulthood, adults may also have: •

•

•

•

Sexual problems, resulting from inappropriate conduct and inability to form adult relationships due to lack of empathetic and/or social skills Weight issues or eating disorders such as anorexia, often caused by anxiety, sensory sensitivity associated with food, or routines or rituals interrupting meal patterns Comorbid emotional conditions such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, and irritability Seizures, epilepsy – though unlikely, one third of people with autistic-spectrum disorders develop these conditions

Who is More Likely to Develop Asperger's Syndrome?

While both boys and girls can have Asperger's, the syndrome is more common in boys . Currently, there is no cure for Asperger’s and the condition is a lifelong one. However, with correct treatment and therapy, many people with Asperger's can go on to lead normal lives and may even excel in certain areas of occupational functioning, especially areas which do not involve ‘people skills’. Close

What Causes Asperger’s Syndrome?

The causes of Asperger’s Syndrome remain unknown, although there appears to be a definite genetic component, as it tends to run in families. Asperger's is NOT caused by bad parenting or problems in the family. Evidence has shown that there may be certain 'triggers' which precipitate the condition, including environmental factors like pollution, food intolerances (particularly to foods containing wheat, gluten, sugar and dairy products), digestive problems, and even childhood vaccinations (particularly the MMRI). There are also suggestions that Asperger's Syndrome may sometimes be linked to high levels of Candida in the stomach. Clearly much more research is needed in this area.

Help for Asperger’s Syndrome

View products related to Asperger’s Syndrome While there is no specific treatment or 'cure' for Asperger's Syndrome, there are many interventions that can significantly improve the functioning and quality of life of people and children with Asperger's. It is important to properly classify the condition and remember that it is not Asperger's disease, but rather a syndrome. Natural Remedies for Asperger’s Syndrome

Herbal and homeopathic remedies can be viable

alternatives to synthetic drugs and may be just as effective, with far fewer risks and side effects. It is important that you only use natural remedies from a reliable source, as the quality of herbs used as well as methods of preparation may affect the strength and effectiveness of the remedy. Depending on the symptoms that need treatment, certain herbal and homeopathic ingredients may be recommended as part of a holistic treatment plan, such as: •

•

•

St. John’s Wort, which has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and research has confirmed the positive effects of this herb on mental and emotional health. Melissa officinalis has been studied for its beneficial effect on the nervous system, and is well-known for its soothing and calming properties. Cina (6C) is used homeopathically to relieve irritability, increase tolerance and prevent temper tantrums. Regular use of Cina is also thought to make children less stubborn and more affectionate..

•

•

Passiflora is known for its soothing properties as a general nerve tonic to help naturally maintain a positive demeanor, balance emotions, settle the nerves and ease minor worries, as confirmed by clinical research. Chamomila (6C) is used homeopathically for children who are irritable and difficult to please, as well as for those with a low pain threshold. It is also well– known for its soothing effect on infant colic, symptoms of teething babies and its ability to promote sleepiness naturally.

Natural remedies may often contain a combination of ingredients for best effect. A holistic treatment plan aims to address the underlying cause of the problem and does not just treat the symptoms in isolation. In this way, it provides an all-around approach to greater well-being.

G:\2\Siete posturas de Kundalini Yoga para desbloquear los chakras.mht Hombres de gran conocimiento descubrieron los chakras, sus funciones, sus pétalos, sus sonidos, su infinito, su correlación y sus poderes. Estos hombres encontraron que la vida del ser humano está totalmente basada en estos chakras y con base en ellos desarrollaron una ciencia completa. Esta ciencia es lo que dio srcen a Kundalini Yoga y así fue como Kundalini Yoga nació” Yogui Bhajan El cuerpo humano es un sistema complejo que comprende unos sistemas amplísimos de energía los cuales no se perciben al instante con nuestra visión limitada. Los chakras son vórtices de energía que funcionan con prana o la fuerza de la vida. Al limpiar los bloqueos energéticos de nuestros chakras permitimos que la energía Kundalini se eleve en nosotros vigorizando y elevando nuestros cuerpos y mente a nuevas alturas. Asanas o posturas son las posiciones del cuerpo que se utilizan para activar y dirigir la energía para abrir en el cuerpo, tanto en una posición física como energética. Al utilizar Kundalini Yoga para limpiar los chakras las asanas sirven para abrir el flujo pránico. 1) Primer chakra, el chakra raíz (Muladhara): fundamentos, miedo, sobrevivencia

Asana: Postura de cuervo

2) Segundo chakra, el chakra del sacro (Svadisthana): creación, deseo, relaciones

Asana: postura de rana Mantén los talones juntos y los dedos de las manos en el piso. Inhala por la nariz al estirar las rodillas y exhala por la nariz al ponerte en cuclillas.

3) Tercer chakra, el plexo solar (Manipura): voluntad, acción

Asana: Postura de estiramiento Levanta los pies y la cabeza a 10 cm del piso. Sube los brazos de tal manera que las palmas queden viéndose la una a la otra. Dirige la mirada hacia la punta de los dedos de los pies y comienza respiración de fuego.

4) Cuarto chakra, el chakra del corazón (Anahata): amor

Asana: Postura de camello Si la postura del camello es muy demandante, coloca las manos en la cintura para sostenerte y ve hacia atrás con tu cabeza.

5) Quinto chakra, el chakra de la garganta (Vishuddha): Comunicación

Asana: Postura de cobra Acuéstate en el piso con las manos debajo de los hombros y las palmas firmemente colocadas en el piso. Estira los brazos de tal manera que levantes el corazón, deja que la cabeza siga el movimiento y mantén la pelvis en el piso. Si el estiramiento es muy demandante intenta la postura de la esfinge manteniendo tus codos en el piso mientras arqueas la cabeza hacia atrás.

6) Sexto chakra, el tercer ojo (Ajna): Intuición, sabiduría

Asana: Guru Pranam Siéntate sobre talones, trae el torso a los muslos y coloca la frente en el piso. Estira las manos en el piso de tal forma que queden enfrente de ti y colócalas en mudra de oración.

7) Séptimo chakra, el chakra de la cabeza (Sahasrara): Trascendencia, el asiento del alma

Asana: Sat Kriya Siéntate sobre los talones y estira los brazos arriba de la cabeza abrazando las orejas y mantén los codos estirados. Entrelaza todos los dedos excepto el dedo índice, el cual debe apuntar hacia arriba. Los hombres deben cruzar el pulgar derecho sobre el izquierdo y las mujeres, el pulgar izquierdo sobre el derecho. Repite “Sat nam” a un ritmo constante. Al decir “Sat” jala el ombligo hacia adentro y al decir “nam” relájalo. Sube la energía por la columna vertebral. Mantén los ojos cerrados. (3-31 minutos)

Sat Kriya es un ejercicio completo de Kundalini Yoga que trabaja en todos los chakras, es una práctica sorprendente y poderosa, total y completa en una sola asana y mudra. Al practicar Sat Kriya todos los días por 40 días se obtiene un efecto profundo en la función de los chakras. Sat Kriya trabaja específicamente en despertar la energía Kundalini y ayuda a moverla hacia arriba de la columna a través del sistema de chakras.

Ningún chakra trabaja solo. El sistema de chakras es un sistema holístico que se interrelaciona. Con kundalini Yoga no puedes trabajar un chakra sin tratar las necesidades de los otros. El triángulo inferior (el primero, el segundo y el tercer chakra) se encargan de la eliminación, mientras que el triángulo superior (quinto, sexto y séptimo chakra) se enfocan en la acumulación. Estos triángulos coinciden el cuarto chakra, el chakra del corazón, punto esencial de equilibrio de estas dos fuerzas. Existe otro kriya llamado Sat Kriya para los chakras que utiliza Sat Kriya para trabajar concretamente en cada uno de los chakras. Este maravilloso kriya te permite realizar variaciones de Sat Kriya en diferentes asanas que afectan específicamente cada chakra y ayudan a limpiar el cuerpo para permitir que suba la energía kundalini.

La importancia de reparar los chakras en la sanación de las adicciones

Los chakras son distribuidores cruciales de fuerza de vida que aseguran nuestra habilidad de mantener nuestras vidas equilibradas e

integradas, particularmente en nuestras relaciones. Cualquier cosa que vaya mal con los chakras puede causar desequilibrios e infelicidad. En el caso de las adicciones, muchas veces es difícil saber qué ocurrió primero, si el bloqueo de los chakras o el abuso de la sustancia. Algunas veces los traumas de la infancia crean problemas en los chakras que después conducen a las adicciones. Sin embargo, las sustancias adictivas por sí mismas dañan el sistema de chakras, el cual debe ser reparado si la persona desea vivir una vida feliz. Cuando la persona simplemente abandona la adicción pero no desbloquea los chakras, hay un gran peligro de que el dolor del aislamiento y el bloqueo en el flujo energético puedan resultar demasiado pesados para la persona, de forma que retornará a la adicción para aliviar el dolor. Este es el motivo por el cual hay tantas recaídas y los adictos y quienes conviven con ellos se desaniman. Los ejercicios que siguen ayudan específicamente a desbloquear y limpiar los chakras. Por favor, ten en cuenta que la limpieza es un proceso y puede ser que tengas que repetirlo muchas veces, conforme se alcanzan nuevas capas que deben serpara sanadas. es muy accesible cada Sin unoembargo, de nosotros y las recompensas son grandes en términos de

EJERCICIO: Evaluando tus chakras

Este ejercicio está diseñado como un diagnóstico de tus chakras, mide su fortaleza para dar y su fortaleza para recibir. Muchos de nosotros no pensamos que la fortaleza sea necesaria para recibir, pero se requiere un fuerte sistema energético para ser capaz de absorber, ser capaz de permitir que entre el amor. Siéntate tranquilamente en un lugar donde creas que no vas a ser interrumpido y colócate de tal forma que estés alrededor de un metro y medio o dos de distancia frente a una pared vacía. Crea una burbuja a tu alrededor. Imagina que un en faro, el lugar de el cada unocoches. de tus chakras hay como de los Cada una de estas luces puede tener un color diferente, o pueden ser todas del mismo color, blanco o el que prefieras en ese momento. Comenzando de arriba hacia abajo, enciende todas tus luces y apunta sus rayos hacia la pared a ti. rayo. TomaNota conciencia la fuerza relativafrente de cada cuáles de alcanzan la pared, y cuáles no. Ve si puedes hallar

interruptores en algún lugar dentro de ti que puedan hacer que se iluminen los más débiles y que bajen de intensidad los que estén demasiado fuertes. Ahora imagina que la habitación en la que te encuentras sentado está inundada con una luz increíble. Puede ser blanca, azul, oro o plata y es más poderosa que cualquier luz que puedas imaginarte dentro de tu cuerpo. Es la luz del Espíritu y está siempre presente. Conforme empiezastuaburbuja, ver y sentir la luz, nota que está rodeando atravesando sus límites y comenzando a llenarla. Cuando tu burbuja esté llena de luz, comenzará a entrar a tus chakras. Nota en cuáles puede entrar bien y en cuales tiene algún tipo de dificultad para entrar. Trata de inhalar y dirigir la luz más y más profundamente en los chakras en los que no ha entrado bien. Nota que los chakras que no dan bien pueden no ser los mismos que los chakras que no reciben bien. Por ejemplo, puede ser que salga mucha luz de tu tercer ojo, perno que no absorba ninguna. Cuando hayas inhalado suficiente luz para equilibrar los chakras, descansa en la luz por unos cuantos minutos antes de disolver tu

burbuja y regresar a tu estado normal de conciencia. Utiliza este ejercicio regularmente como una herramienta de diagnóstico, para medir la fuerza de tu energía y para evaluar el progreso que estás haciendo en el trabajo que estás llevando a cabo contigo mismo. Este ejercicio siempre te dirá el estado de tus chakras cuando la mente no esté segura.

Reabrir el Centro Cardiaco: la clave para sanarte

Es tan importante la necesidad de una sanación física como la necesidad de sanar el corazón. Sin esto, puedes estar sobrio/delgado/libre de drogas, pero sentirte aún así demasiado miserable. Para sentirte feliz, necesitas amor, y mientras el centro cardiaco continúe cerrado, podemos estar entre una multitud de personas felices pero sintiéndonos todavía solos, desligados de nuestros compañeros. Si limpiamos el corazón, no debemos preocuparnos demasiado acerca de la mente. Si el corazón siente algo, la mente siempre estará ocupada inventando razones para ello. Muchos de los ejercicios de este libro tienen como foco de sanación el centro cardiaco, ya

que es la clave para restaurar la salud. Primero, sin embargo, hay una necesidad de reabrir gentilmente esta chakra, lentamente, tratándote a ti mismo de forma amorosa, ya que de otra manera podrías percibirlo como un dolor. En realidad puede haber allí algún dolor, el dolor de viejas pérdidas, rechazos y heridas que has sufrido. Los dolores del corazón son agónicos, no hay duda de ello, pero un centro cardiaco cerrado evita que encuentres nuevas personas a quienes amar y te impide absorber el amor que está rodeándonos todo el tiempo. EJERCICIO: La flor de múltiples pétalos del chakra cardiaco

Sitúate en una burbuja. Imagina tu centro cardiaco como una hermosa flor de múltiples pétalos, con los pétalos cerrados. El rosa brillante puede ser un color positivo para la flor, ya que este es el color del amor. Puedes ver la flor como un loto, una rosa o como cualquier otra flor de múltiples pétalos a la que te sientas atraído. Comenzando desde afuera, permite que los pétalos se abran, uno por uno. Con cada pétalo, afirma tu voluntad de dar y recibir amor. Puedes hacerlo diciendo internamente, "Estoy abierto al

amor" o cualquier otra cosa que resulte placentera para ti. Mover tus manos a través de tu campo energético como si estuvieras abriendo los pétalos con ellas puede incrementar el efecto. Continúa abriendo más y más pétalos repitiendo la afirmación mientras los abres. Conforme te acercas al centro, nota que los pétalos están brillando con luz rosa, cálida al tacto. Cuando el centro mismo está abierto, la luz rosa irradia desde él y pulsa hacia fuera pasando los límites de tu burbuja. Di para ti mismo: "Esta luz de mi corazón es un rayo para aquellos que compartirán correctamente el amor conmigo." Baja energía rosa de tu Ser Esencial y deja que se derrame hacia el exterior. Ahora rota la flor de forma que gire hacia el interior, y lentamente deja que tu cuerpo se llene de luz rosa. Es muy fácil volvernos dependientes de otras personas por el amor que necesitamos, pero todos tenemos el poder de conectarnos directamente con la energía del amor universal y quedar llenos de ella. Di para ti mismo: "Soy amoroso y estoy lleno de amor". Para cerrar el ejercicio, rota tu flor de forma que

irradie hacia fuera de nuevo y cierra los pétalos de la flor. Muchos podemos abrir bien la flor, pero no sabemos cómo cerrarla y terminamos entregándonos demasiado rápido a personas demasiado inapropiadas. Saber cómo cerrar la flor del corazón es tan importante como saber cómo abrirla. Entonces se abre cuando nosotros queramos que lo haga, no cuando somos adictos a tenerla abierta. Repite este ejercicio durante unos días. Es muy bueno hacerlo antes de irte a dormir porque es muy sedante y porque la sanación del corazón continuará durante tus sueños. ¿Cómo sabrás cuando tu centro cardiaco esté abierto? No hay forma de equivocarse. Tendrás sensaciones completamente nuevas en el área de tu corazón físico, corrientes eléctricas de energía fluyendo dentro y fuera. Cuando alguien que te importe aparezca, puede haber un salto en esa área, una repentina y corta pulsación no muy diferente a un orgasmo. De pronto sabrás que certero es el significado de ciertas frases como "mi corazón fue hacia ella", "mi corazón saltó de alegría" y desgraciadamente, lo que es verdaderamente el dolor del corazón. Sabrás entonces por quécomo ciertas de amor tocan el corazón uncanciones arpa. El centro cardiaco recién abierto es temeroso y

está listo a cerrar sus pétalos de nuevo ante cualquier palabra de enfado. Al principio tendrás que continuar reabriéndolo, pero ¿acaso no es este ejercicio literalmente un trabajo de amor placentero? Hacerlo te iniciará en el camino de la sanación emocional y espiritual y llenará tu vida con la amistad de amorosos amigos y parejas. Cuando comienzas a abrir este centro, al principio puedes experimentar algún dolor. Ciertamente hay heridas en el corazón que necesitan sanación. Permítete llorar aquellas penas, ya que las lágrimas son el mejor agente limpiador conocido para el corazón. Las lágrimas rompen, disuelven y liberan el dolor. No importa si ocurrió hace veinte años, si aún hay dolor, necesitas llorar, pero hazlo dentro de una burbuja transmutadora de luz blanca. Otra razón por la cual la apertura del centro cardiaco algunas veces se experimenta como algo doloroso es que el cuerpo energético del adicto está tan acostumbrado a estar firmemente cerrado que cuando comienza abrirse, puedes hacer todo lo posible por resistirte. Reconfórtate masajeando el área del pecho, aunque será aún más reconfortante tener a una persona amorosa a tu lado para que lo haga, particularmente una que ya haya atravesado por el proceso de apertura. La

persona que dé el masaje puede dirigir concientemente a sus manos un flujo de amor y luz rosa. Ya que el centro cardiaco se afecta poderosamente con el azúcar y el alcohol, la esencia BLEEDINGHEART será importante para aquellos que tengan problema con el alcohol o con el azúcar, ya que ayuda a reparar el chakra cardiaco después de grandes heridas y pérdidas. La crisis de sanación con este remedio puede ser difícil si sale a la superficie una gran pena, así es que siempre evalúa con el péndulo o con los reflejos musculares. Cuando surge una pena, la esencia de EUCALYPTUS es muy sanadora. Las esencias de gemas de CUARZO ROSA, TURQUESA o RUBÍ son todas buenas para el centro cardiaco y son más sutiles que algunas de las otras esencias de gemas. Y en cuanto a las piedras mismas, tener o llevar un cuarzo rosa cerca de ti puede ser también muy sanador, ya que éste es el cristal de este chakra. Tal vez puedas conseguir un collar de cuentas de cuarzo rosa lo suficientemente largo como para cubrir tu corazón. La turmalina rosa y la kuncita rosa también son buenas para sanar y abrir el corazón.

Técnicas para limpiar los chakras

Exceptuando el chakra cardiaco, usualmente es mejor abrir todos tus chakras juntos, en lugar de enfocarte en un solo centro, para no crear un desequilibrio. Si abres el centro corona y el tercer ojo para el trabajo psíquico y espiritual sin limpiar y abrir los centros de abajo, puedes abrirte a sensaciones y experiencias desequilibradas. Abrir el chakra sexual sin poner atención en el corazón puede conducirte a relaciones distorsionadas y carentes de amor. Por eso es mejor atenderlos a todos por igual. EJERCICIO: El remolino limpiador de chakras

Visualiza los chakras y localízalos en tu cuerpo según el diagrama presentado anteriormente. Rodéate de tu burbuja y llénala con luz de algún color en particular, siguiendo tu intuición. Para muchos propósitos, lo mejor es la luz blanca, ya que contiene todos los otros colores. Comienza con el chakra raíz. Crea un remolino o embudo de luz que apunte hacia el chakra. Deja este remolino actúe dentro del chakra comoque un tornado, girando y absorbiendo las áreas oscuras u obstrucciones que te impiden

sentirte conectado con la tierra. La luz continuará girando durante el tiempo que sea necesario, incluso mientras te mueves hacia otros chakras. Sigue hacia el chakra sexual y visualiza otro remolino que nuevamente se activa y consume los obstáculos. Aquí la dificultad que necesita ser sanada traerá como resultado el equilibrio saludable del flujo de la energía sexual. Cuando estas dos áreas bajas se sientan relativamente limpias, con elEnplexo comienza allí un nuevosigue remolino. estasolar área,y la luz brillante se llevará todas las obstrucciones de una saludable y realista auto estima, disolviendo las viejas heridas del ego y los sentimientos de falta de confianza. Permite que los torbellinos anteriores continúen girando muévete centrocardiaco, cardiaco al para empezary uno allí. Elalcentro ser tan crucial y vulnerable, puede necesitar más tiempo para quedar limpio, ya que paulatinamente irán saliendo las viejas heridas para lidiar con ellas. Aquí la luz consumirá las obstrucciones para amar y ser amado. Ahora muévete al chakra del timo. Probablemente éste no se sentirá bloqueado, sino simplemente no abierto. Utiliza aquí el torbellino para ayudarte a despertar este centro.

Siéntete conectado con el mundo de una forma pacífica y abrigadora. Ahora visualiza un torbellino en el centro de la garganta, donde podrá consumir los obstáculos hacia la comunicación y el libre flujo del dinero. Ahora visualiza el centro del entrecejo donde el tornado te liberará de los obstáculos al flujo de la creatividad y la energía psíquica. Finalmente utiliza un tornado para limpiar el centro corona los obstáculos para que la meditación y ladeinspiración, de forma puedas abrir tu conexión espiritual con todo lo que es. Observa cuáles de los centros aún tienen tornados girando, ya que éstos pueden requerir un trabajo especial. Haz brillar la luz intensamente en aquellas áreas durante unos momentos antes de detenerlos y disolver la burbuja. Repite esto durante unos días, hasta que los chakras parezcan limpios. Más adelante, repítelo con diferentes colores, conforme te guíe tu intuición. Incluso cuando hayas terminado, repite el proceso de limpieza periódicamente para impedir que se formen nuevas obstrucciones en el curso de la vida diaria o a

partir de nuestras adicciones menores.

EJERCICIO: Un ramo de flores de chakras

Si has completado la limpieza anterior ahora puedes enfocarte con seguridad en una flor particular especialmente relevante para tus propias necesidades personales. Sin embargo, durante un buen periodo de tiempo, deberás haberte dedicado a cuidar y cultivar todo el jardín enestá lugarbien de una sola flor. Una rosa perfecta si tus recursos sonsola limitados, pero desde nuestra visión, podemos encargarnos de todo el ramo. Cada uno de los centros puede tener un tipo distinto de flor y de color, los tuyos pueden ser diferentes que los de otras personas. Para algunos estos colores siguen el espectro del arco iris, comenzando con el rojo para el chakra raíz. Siéntate en tu burbuja. Sintonízate con tus chakras y siente que cada uno de ellos es una flor a punto de florecer. Siente que todas estas flores están mirando hacia el exterior hacia fuera de tu cuerpo. Lentamente, pétalo por pétalo, comenzando por tu chakra raíz, siente que cada una de estas flores comienza a abrirse. Quizá puedas querer poner tus manos sobre cada chakra y repetir

una afirmación, por ejemplo, para el chakra raíz: ESTOY ENRAIZADO EN MI CUERPO Y EN MI VIDA; para el chakra sexual: ESTOY ABIERTO A MI SEXUALIDAD Y A MI CREATIVIDAD; para el plexo solar: SOY FUERTE Y TENGO CLARIDAD, ESTOY A CARGO DE MI VIDA; para el centro cardiaco: SOY AMADO Y SOY AMOROSO; y así... Diseña algunas afirmaciones que se relacionen específicamente con tus necesidades personales. Nota que cuando el centro de la flor se revela hay una cálida luz allí que brilla hacia fuera, iluminando tu burbuja y brillando hacia el mundo. Cuando el proceso parezca estar completo, mantén las flores contigo y disuelve la burbuja. Si haces este ejercicio varias veces para cada uno de los chakras, comenzarás a sentir una movilización de las energías en esas áreas. Puede ser que las flores necesiten reabrirse de tiempo en tiempo, ya que se cierran fácilmente con el estrés, la fatiga, las experiencias duras o la repetición de tus adicciones menores. También puedes imaginarte flores abriéndose en cualquier órgano del cuerpo que real o simbólicamente haya puedes sido afectado por flores la dicción. Por ejemplo, visualizar abriéndose en los oídos si sientes la necesidad

de querer ser mejor escuchando a los demás, o en los ojos si quieres apreciar con más profundidad el arte. Si eres del tipo de personas que le es muy fácil dar a los demás pero tiene dificultades para recibir, imagina que hay flores cerradas mirando hacia el interior del cuerpo en cada uno de los chakras. Ábrelos repetidamente con una afirmación como esta: "Estoy dispuesto a recibir". Esto te ayudará a equilibrar el flujo de energía. Cuando la energía únicamente sale y tú no recibes nada, al final te sientes vacío y resentido y te ves tentado a abusar de alguna sustancia para llenar el vacío resultante.

EJERCICIO: Sellando las grietas de tus chakras

Conforme tus capacidades intuitivas se entrenan y mejoran al hacer este trabajo, puedes llegar a sentir que hay verdaderas rupturas en algunos de tus chakras. Los traumas y las tragedias suelen causar tales rupturas y a veces la adicción se desarrolla como una forma de parar la salida o de llenar el vacío que deja este tipo de daños. No hay unas pautas específicas para las rupturas de chakras. Si son suficientemente

devastadoras, incluso pueden ser heredadas. Un padre con una insuficiencia en algún chakra no tiene la capacidad de nutrir plenamente ese chakra en su hijo. Cuando una de nuestros clientes en recuperación, una adicta al azúcar, fue a Irlanda, intuitivamente descubrió que la ruptura del chakra raíz causada por la emigración de su tatarabuelo a América cuando su familia fue azotada por la hambruna de la patata, había pasado a todas las generaciones subsiguientes. Este lado de la familia había sido afectado por adicciones al alcohol y al azúcar en cada generación y también era incapaz de echar raíces en ningún lugar, mudándose frecuentemente. Ella fue el primer miembro de la familia que fue a Irlanda desde la emigración y le resultó increíblemente conmovedor. En los muelles de County Cork, donde el tatarabuelo se embarcó, ella utilizó el ejercicio que sigue para reparar su chakra raíz. Y también hizo el mismo ejercicio en favor de cada uno de los miembros de la familia que ella sabía que tenían problemas de este tipo, en todas las generaciones a partir del tatarabuelo hasta el bebé recién nacido de su sobrina. Estos son los pasos: Identifica el chakra que necesitas reparar

usando tu intuición o el ejercicio de evaluación de los chakras. Entra en un estado profundo de conciencia y llama a tu Ser Esencial para que te ayude a reparar este centro. Imagina que te estás encogiendo hasta que eres los suficientemente pequeño para caber dentro del chakra. Ahora entra en el chakra y siéntelo como una pequeña y acogedora habitación que te rodea, como si fuera un huevo. Llénalo de luz del color de tu elección, quizá azul ya que un chakra roto suele estar lleno de miedo. Explora las paredes del chakra con tu mente y localiza las grietas. Utiliza luz líquida para pintar las paredes de toda la habitación. Sal de la habitación y regresa a tu tamaño normal.

EJERCICIO: Llenando y alimentando tus chakras

La sensación de ser drenado por otros o por la dureza de sacar adelante tu adicciones vida es algoo que te puede llevar de nuevo a tus a crear nuevas, como comer demasiado. Incluso

cuando los chakras están limpios y claros necesitas saber cómo atraer más energía de tu Ser Esencial y de las fuentes espirituales. Rodéate de una burbuja del color que te sientas inspirado a elegir. Entra en un estado profundo de meditación. Enlázate fuertemente con tu Ser Esencial. Puede ayudarte el que lo visualices como un cordón de luz que va de ti hacia arriba. Dile a tu Ser Esencial que necesitas fuerza y energía para completar tus tareas. Imagina energía viaja centros. hacia abajo porun el cordón hacia tus que distintos Si hay chakra en especial que necesite ser energizado y fortalecido, imagina el cordón atado allí. Cuando sientas que ha entrado suficiente energía renovada, disuelve el cordón, el enlace y la burbuja. Por favor ten en cuenta que este ejercicio no es un sustituto del descanso. No debe ser utilizado para saltarte los necesarios periodos de relajación a fin de seguir trabajando. En algunos de nosotros, la adicción al trabajo es la adicción primaria y el abuso de una sustancia es en realidad la adicción secundaria, utilizada como un medio para continuar trabajando o para relajarse.

EJERCICIO: Para enlazar la energía de tus chakras

Nuestros chakras no funcionan aislados unos de otros. La misma energía fluye a través de todos ellos, enlazándolos, entretejiéndolos juntos. Nuestros chakras están enlazados desde el de la raíz hasta el de la corona en una columna vertical que rodea el cuerpo conectándolos a todos. Ya que sale de cada chakra, la energía es moldeada por ese como lademasa de trigo al ser pasada porchakra, una máquina pasta. Es la misma masa, pero si cambias la apertura puedes obtener espaguetis delgados o gruesos, tallarines, fideos, etc. Con la energía ocurre igual y aunque es la misma, su forma, su manifestación, cambia. A veces dañado un chakra y otro que está mástenemos fuerte puede prestarle energía para que se fortalezca. Y como veremos más adelante en este libro, las diferentes sustancias adictivas, afectan y dañan diferentes chakras. Asimismo, se abusa de ciertas sustancias específicas en un esfuerzo por enlazar juntos ciertos chakras. En este ejercicio aprenderás a enlazar la energía de tusjuntos diferentes chakras, para sanarlos y usarlos en patrones que estás acostumbrado a usar con tus drogas

favoritas. Siéntate tranquilamente y siente tu respiración. Cobra conciencia de cada uno de tus chakras como lo hiciste en el ejercicio anterior. Comienza enfocándote en tu chakra raíz. Siente que un hilo de energía o de luz surge de la parte posterior de tu chakra raíz y se mueve por tu espalda hacia tu chakra sexual. Siente la energía conectando con ese chakra y emergiendo por su parte frontal circulando por la parte de tu cuerpo hasta alcanzar de nuevode tu enfrente chakra raíz. Ahora siente que hay una circulación continua de energía que se mueve entre estos dos chakras, enlazándolos y equilibrándolos. Ya has experimentado cada chakra individualmente, ¿qué se siente tener dos activos a la vez? ¿Esta energía es familiar y confortable? Disuelve la conexión entre esos dos chakras, pero mantén el foco en el chakra raíz. Ahora crea un circuito de energía que suba por tu espalda desde tu chakra raíz hacia tu plexo solar y que baje de nuevo por enfrente hacia el chakra raíz. Nota cómo se siente y la manera en que esta conexión pueda sentirse diferente de la del enlace del chakra raíz y el sexual. Lentamente, comenzando siempre con tu

chakra raíz, continúa hacia arriba y enlaza a él tu centro cardiaco, el del timo, el chakra de la garganta, el del entrecejo y el de la corona. Nota cada vez cómo se siente y las diferencias que sientes en relación a otras conexiones. Pon atención a las combinaciones que son fuertes y a las que son débiles, cuáles son más fáciles y cuáles son más difíciles de establecer. Cuando hayas enlazado todos los chakras una vez, regresa a tus chakras raíz y sexual y enciéndelos como faros de forma que brillen hacia fuera de tu cuerpo. Siente que sus rayos se mezclan en un rayo unificado enfrente de ti. Haz lo mismo con cada par de chakras –el raíz y el del plexo solar, el de la raíz y el cardiaco, el de la raíz y el del timo... Enciende todos los rayos y hazlos alumbrar hacia el afuera hasta que se mezclen en una sola luz, igual que lo hiciste con el chakra raíz y el sexual. Formúlate las mismas preguntas acerca de lo que sientes, la fuerza, los bloqueos y demás. Cuando hayas hecho todas las conexiones y los hayas equilibrado tanto como puedas por el momento, siéntate tranquilamente en tu burbuja por un rato y siente que hay un circuito interno que conecta todos estos chakras hacia arriba por la espalda y hacia abajoviajando por el frente. Siente la energía circulando y siente tus chakras

brillando. Ahora lentamente apaga las luces y disuelve la burbuja. EJERCICIO: Segunda parte

Cuando hayas realizado el ejercicio anterior varias veces y sientas que el circuito de enlace de los chakras funciona fluidamente, aquí hay un desarrollo posterior. Moviéndote hacia arriba, trabaja para conectar el chakra sexual con todos los otros chakras. Después, en diferentes días, conecta el plexo solar con todos los demás chakras, y luego haz lo mismo con el chakra cardiaco y el resto de los chakras superiores. Cuando hayas realizado este ejercicio ocho veces comenzando con cada uno de los chakras principales y conectándolos con atodos los demás, estás listo para sentarte jugar. Conecta el raíz con el corona, el sexual con el entrecejo, el timo con el raíz, el plexo solar con el corazón. Déjate bailar entre todos los chakras. Si alguno de los chakras se siente particularmente débil, puedes tratar de engancharlo con un chakra que parezca fuerte para ver si puede prestarle energía para equilibrarse. Cuando llegues a los capítulos sobre las adicciones particulares, es posible que

quieras regresar a este ejercicio para trabajar con los chakras que hayan sido dañados debido a tus adicciones particulares. Reparando los Chakras Dañados con Esencias y Piedras

En el primer libro hablamos de las esencias y de las piedras y de la forma en que ayudaban con los patrones adictivos. Estas herramientas de poder actúan en los cuerpos sutiles con mayor fortaleza y por eso varios de ellos son excelentes para reparar daño que las y en adicciones causan en loselcuerpos sutiles los chakras. Los ejercicios que se dieron aquí te han ayudado a determinar cuáles de tus propios chakras pueden haber resultado más dañados. Las dos tablas reproducidas a continuación muestran los chakras, las adicciones que les afectan más y las piedras, remedios y demás herramientas que ayudan a repararlos o fortalecerlos. No todas las esencias enlistadas están descritas en este libro porque Donna no utiliza todas ellas en su trabajo. Puede ser útil leer la descripción completa de cada remedio en el libro de Gurudas: Flower Essences and Vibrational Healing (Ver el apartado de esencias de la

bibliografía.) Adicionalmente puedes utilizar un péndulo para evaluar cuál de los remedios

enlistados en un chakra determinado es mejor para ti, así como para ver con qué chakra debes trabajar en ese momento. También se sugieren ciertas piedras para fortalecer cada uno de los chakras. Hay diferentes libros que enumeran distintas piedras, pero éstas son las principales.

Chakras, adicciones y remedios para repararlos

Chakras y herramientas adicionales para repararlos

ADVERTENCIA:

Mantén esta información en perspectiva. Todas las enfermedades físicas, incluida la adicción, tienen largas historias de desequilibrios mentales, emocionales y espirituales que las crearon y que comenzaron mucho antes de que el problema físico se manifestara. Nadie se enferma de la noche a la mañana y tampoco nadie se cura de la noche a la mañana. Muchas personas buscan métodos de sanación alternativos porque se han desilusionado mucho

de la medicina convencional y de los terapeutas convencionales. Desde el principio hemos visto el trabajo que compartimos en estos dos libros como algo que complementa los servicios sanitarios estándares de desintoxicación y los programas de recuperación. Aunque tu Ser Esencial sea espiritual, si lees este libro y piensas que puedes ayudarte únicamente con él, estarás siendo negligente con los aspectos mental, emocional y físico de quien tú eres y este enfoque se convertirá en una fuente adicional de desilusión. Pero si ves todos los métodos disponibles para sanar tu adicción como diferentes estanterías de una ferretería puedes pasearte de arriba abajo probando herramientas hasta encontrar las que te sirvan mejor para el trabajo particular que necesitas a fin de recuperarte y renovar tu vida. Este libro contiene un juego de herramientas y esperamos que las encuentres útiles, pero recuerda buscar herramientas de otras clases cuando las necesites: el cuidado sanitario, las terapias y los grupos de autoayuda. *Traducción del primer capítulo del libro: Cunningham, Danna y Andrew Ramer: Further dimensions of healing addictions, Cassandra Press, CA, USA, 1988.

G:\Homeopathic Mnemonic.mht By Nicole S. Urdang, MS, NCC, DHM Similia similibus curentur Sounds archaic but's quite an adventure; One I travel in the mind, Where allopathy's left behind. 'Twas Hahnemann, its founder, see, Who made up potencies -practically freeStimulating the vital force, And healing chronic miasms, of course! We know he had a prodigious mind For look at all he left behind. The man was far from being a bum; In fact, he was Arsenicum. The remedies are tried and true Through many provings, old and new. It only takes a little bit, Though Avogadro can't admit They actually work quite well Where no discernible substance dwells. So much learn, pandemonium, But not if Itotake myit's Lycopodium. With Gibson, Clarke, Boericke, and Kent, There's hardly time to pay the rent. Add Nash, Vithoulkas, Allen and Cook, And it's time to take another look. Boenninghausen, Coulter and Speight, Better forget that dinner date. Hering, Hughes, Eizayaga and Blackie; Now I'm feeling really wacky! Remembering remedies is quite a chore, But have be ayou bore, For doesn't just when youtothink know one well, Another proving breaks the spell. Adding rubrics left and right, Modalities: morning, noon, and night,

Makes this science art you see, All the more useful and interesting to me. Although there's more than I can ken, Studying all night can be quite zen, For in the wee hours of the night I make up rhymes to remember them right. Aconite has fear and dread; The skin is dry and hot, it's said. With Allium cepa the story's old, He has dull headaches and a watery cold. Alumina is weak and chronic Craving chalk and starch as tonics. Anacardium laughs at serious things, and Forgets the names of English Kings. Apis burns, stings, and feels sore In a warm room he's worse than before. Argentum met. is irritable and thin; Talking and singing aggravates him. Argentum nit. gets the runs from sweets, And aggravation from mental feats. Arnica's tops for bumps and bruises, Upper body has heat and the lower portion loses. Arsenicum's burning pains are better for heat. He fears death, writes small, legibly, and neat. Aurum met., tired of life, suicide on his mind, Heart stands still, or palpitates, better when winter's behind. Baryta carb. is forgetful and weak. He's worse after meals and lacks vital heat. Belladonna's sudden onset, red face, and vertigo Prod us to remember he's worse from touch also. Bryonia alba reminds us of Nux, But he's worse from motion and his thirst is deluxe. Calcarea is fat, blond, and plethoric. She perspires all over, craves eggs, and is psoric. Calcarea phos. is like the last Calc., you know, But she's dark and thin, and worse for melting snow. Carbo animalis has a tornado in his head. He's worse after shaving, and after midnight, in bed. Carbo veg. wants to be constantly fanned. Think of thisisremedy at hand.

All senses are hearing, taste, touch and food; sight. Colchicum getsacute: sick and faintssmell, from smelling cooking Too much light, or bad manners put him in a foul mood. Colocynthis' abdominal pains cause him to bend double. His anger and indignation spur on this type of trouble. Conium mac. is for old autonomous types With bad effects from suppressing sexual appetites. Crotalus horridus is weak, and bleeds from every orifice. The tongue's bright red, swollen, and polished as ice. Cuprum met. is for spasms and cramps of the calf; Oddly enough, a sip of cold water may cut their pain in half. Digitalis is employed for a pulse intermittent and weak; The skin is blue, and fingers have a habit of "going to sleep." Drosera's great for whooping cough That's worse for reclining, warmth, or a laugh. Eupatorium perf. feels bruised and broken everywhere; Bones and eyes are painful, his thirst extraordinaire. Ferrum met.'s extremely pale but flushes with the least exertion, Ironically, red parts turn as white as a starched linen curtain. Ferrum phos. is the student's friend, for brain fatigue it's best, Cold applications for headaches are a frequent request. Gelsemium gets depressed when the sun is at its peak; He lacks muscular coordination, and doesn't want to speak. Glonoine is for sunstroke and affections of the head. The brain feels too large, blood seems pumped up instead. Graphites think of nothing but death, and music makes her weep. The children laugh at reprimands which makes them quite unique. Hamamelis virginica is Arnica-like: There's bruised soreness-from a much too strenuous hike. Hepar sulph.'s skin cannot bear the slightest touch, And extremely cold air he doesn't care for much. Hypericum perf.'s a wonder drug for hurt finger or toe, If Aconite won't work for shock Hypericum's apropos. Ignatia's moody, and replete with grief; Strangely, the more she coughs the more there's relief. Iodum eats hungrily, yet looks quite anorexic; An iron hand has grabbed her heart and makes her apoplectic.

Kali bich.'s headaches have auras of blindness or blurry sight, Tough mucus comes out in strings or plugs, day or night. Kali bromatum's as restless as a cat. This fat child forgets where it's at.

These pains are worse by motion and when darkness descends. Lillium tig.'s heart feels as if it's in a vise. Her profound depression and weeping can't feel very nice. Lobelia inflata's extreme nausea and vomiting is worse for smoke, It's ironic they have a good appetite, but certainly not a joke. Lycopodium is worse from four to eight at night; There's a lot of flatulence, and pains start on the right. Lyssin's worse for the sound of running water or bright light. He cannot bear the sun's heat, and going mad's a major fright. Magnesia carb.'s complaints worsen every three weeks, Children of irritable temperament are the host it seeks. Mag. phos. dreads uncovering, and is better for bending double, It's used for writer's cramp which is recently giving me trouble. Medorrhinum trembles all over, his exhaustion is complete; He cannot speak without weeping, and has restless legs and feet. Mercurius's pains are worse at night and perspiration is profuse. It may even increase the suffering which seems of little use. Muriatic acid's jaw hangs low, and he slides down in the bed; He's constantly debilitated, even if well-rested and fed. Nat. carb. is similarly tired, but it's from the heat of summer. His inability to think can certainly be a bummer. Natrum mur. is skinny and loses weight while eating. She loves her salt excessively, and is the worse from reading. Nitric acid has sticking pains as if from splinters in them; Their body feels quite they're apttotoitscondemn. Nux mos.'s mouth is soirritable, dry the and tongue sticks roof, She rarely perspires, feels drowsy and sleepy, if you want proof. Nux vomica's famous for treating hard-working men who drink. They're angry, nervous debauchers, who get sad when they think.

Opium is lethargic, and suffers ailments from fright, Cold and constant walking are his main delights. Petroleum imagines another is lying in his bed; His headache's in the occiput, which feels heavy as lead. Phosphoric acid's loss of vital fluid makes him weak; Indifferent to islifesensitive, and listless, outlook's oftenonbleak. Phosphorus withhis burning in spots the spine, His body feels empty; cold food and drink's his anodyne. Phytolacca is indifferent and sure that she will die, Nipples are fissured and painful, which nursing intensifies. Platina's a thin woman with a sanguine disposition, Genitals are sensitive, and she faints from intromission. Plumbum's quickly emaciated, showing a corpse's vigor, Gums have a distinct blue line, and violent colic's de regueur. Psorinum is for cases when the well-chosen remedy fails; The patient and his fluids smell, against cold air he rails. Pulsatilla cries easily, and her symptoms always change, Pains are known for shifting; her thirstlessness never wanes. Pyrogen, an antiseptic, has a heartbeat very fast; It cures when the apparent simillimum hasn't been able to last. Ranunculus bulbosis hits the spot when you've drunk too much; It's used for intercostal rheumatism that's worse for touch. Rhus tox's tongue is dry and cracked with a triangular red tip, Great restlessness, and anxiety make it hard for him to sit. Ruta grav.'s body feels bruised in all its parts. His prolapse of the rectum gives him quite a start. Sabadilla's thinking brings on headaches and insomnia. She imagines that she's very sick, with no panacea. Sanguinaria has rheumatic pain in the right shoulder and arm, Her cheeks are red, and she has burning in soles and palms. Secale is for women who are feeble, and thin as string, Their skin feels cold but they cannot bear a covering. Selenium longs for liquor, lemonade, tea, and wine, Even with headaches each afternoon he still wants to dine. Sepia is indifferent to those whom she loves best, She's often sad and weepy, and might be considered depressed. Silicea children have large heads, with open fontanelles, Their head, hands, feet, and axillae sweat and emit foul smells. Spigelia's eyeballs suffer extreme pressing pain, A single touch sends a shudder throughout her whole frame.

Spongia tosta is as dry as a bone, Her anxiety and fear are very well known. Stannum has great weakness in the chest and cannot speak, She's sad and feels tearful each day of the week. Staphisagria's worse when grieving or mad, She dwells ontalks sexual subjects with which makebig her Stramonium incessantly, pupils assad. a scone, He wants light, looks terrified, and can't be left alone. Sulphur has great burning, with red lips and face, Always worse for standing; his skin is a disgrace. Symphytum should not be forgotten, for fractured bones it's best, While for traumatic eye injuries the tincture's my request. Syphilinum loves liquor, is worse from sundown to sunrise, Often feels as if he's going nuts, or being paralyzed. Tabacum gets seasick and nauseous, and is covered in cold sweat, Fresh air makes him better, while in evening he's upset. Tarentula hispania's lascivious, and restless to the max, He's worse seeing others in trouble, while music makes him relax. Terebinthina's urine smells like violets, Her bladder and kidneys burn like cigarettes. Theridion has nausea and vertigo with each sound, Everywhere in her body noises can be found. Thuja's limbs feel to him like glass that could break, Vaccinosis and fig warts aren't easy to shake. Tuberculinum has rapid emaciation, and symptoms always shift; When well-selected remedies fail this is like a gift. Veratrum alb.'s kids and elders feel icy cold; They vomit violently and collapse, too, I'm told. Zincum's pale and burns along the spine, She's ravenously hungry, and feels the worse from wine. One hundred remedies, we've only scratched the surface, But, I predict all these rhymes will have served their purpose, If in using them you remember well The ones you earlier couldn't spell! Of course, our work is never-ending Because we're constantly appending The Materia Medica (though it's grand) With from every land. So, innew yourmedicaments studies please remember, If your brain feels sore and tender, After trying Gelsemium and Cina, And it's not feeling any finer,

Put your books aside for a bit And let the information sit. We know it's hard and very taxing To study something unrelaxing, But once you're bitten by the bug You recognize a familiar tug Of books that call from on their shelves, Encouraging us all to delve And learn about the healing art That sets allopathy and us apart.
