Psycho-Pharm Humbug Lures P.T. Barnum Back From The Dead. What exactly is humbug?

Psycho-Pharm Humbug Lures P.T. Barnum Back From The Dead. What exactly is humbug?

by | Jan 9, 2023 | Homeopathy, Hot Topics | 0 comments

Ebenezer Scrooge is notorious for snorting “Bah! Humbug!” whenever the topic of Christmas crops up in Charles Dickens’ 1843 novel, A Christmas Carol. Since no one wants to be thought of as an insufferable tightwad both the name Scrooge and his favorite word, “humbug” float side by side in the toilet. From a different vantage point, one hundred years later, when December’s (and now also November’s) annual bacchanal of mindless spending masquerades behind the spiritual meaning of our most famous holiday Scrooge is a prophet. Christmas is a humbug indeed.

Humbug pays tribute to a high ground value so as to mask the attraction of a lower ground need. It’s dishonest in a “wink-wink, “yeah, we’re all in on it” way. Yet humbug’s universality sets it apart from the ploy of a hoax that creates chaos and serves the narrow interest of a few. Nor is it the same as outright lying. In plain English, humbug is a polite term for bullshit. Ebenezer Scrooge owned a well-oiled bullshit detector.

 

 

 

In addition to Christmas, examples of humbug include:

  • “Thank you so much! Receiving this Most Valuable Player award is deeply humbling.” The recipient of outsized recognition is aware that excessive adulation for any one individual diminishes all others. Then, so as to preempt resentment they assert that the award diminishes not you but them. Welcome to humble brag.
  • A show or film decrying immoral behavior can make its case with images that goose us into having immoral urges! In a prior era, P.T. Barnum offered the public burlesque shows that he cleverly advertised as moral lectures.
  • Abraham Flexner’s 1910 report on medical education in the US hawked “genuinely scientific,” meaning psycho-pharm medicine from Germany to an American public eager to associate itself with sophisticated, European knowledge. Flexner pretended that a wildly popular and not at all unscientific trend toward naturopathic medicine created by an ingenious German homeopath named Emmanuel Felke did not exist. The humbug benefitted his magnate sponsors, masterminds John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie.
  • Psycho-pharmaceutical medicine as I hope to show is another example of humbug.

P.T. Barnum’s Visitation
Phones Taylor Barnum

“Good sir!” the fellow bellowed, “Attend to me at once! It has been long, much too long….!”

How to account for this dream? Perhaps the tryptophane loaded, cheddar cheese sandwich that I scarfed up before bed the other night. There he stood, all six foot two inches of him, bulbous nosed with piercing blue eyes, curly brown locks framing a semi-bald head. Sporting his fabled potbelly. It was Phineas Taylor Barnum himself. “Well hello PT,’ I replied. “To what do I owe the honor?”

“The immanent spirits wearied of me.” he sighed, “If you can imagine! I was dismissed from the Bardo, exiled to the outskirts of Heaven. There I rebuilt my three-story Oriental mansion Iranistan. Amidst the sanctimonious ones it was I who grew bored. It is now a hundred and thirty years have passed since my death. An overlong expanse would you agree? So now I ponder a return.”

“And how is that?” I asked.

“Good sir!” the fellow bellowed, “Attend to me at once! It has been long, much too long….!”

“And how is that?” I asked.

I am not easily beguiled,“ said Barnum, “nor bereft of notion. Clearly, they’ve discovered a new General Tom Thumb.”

“None such found, Barnum.”

“Captured a pachyderm larger than my elephant, Jumbo?”

“Has not occurred PT.”

“Well then, showcased a singer better than my Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale?’

“Try again.”

“Displayed a giant more immense than my Commander Nutt?”

“I give you one last chance.”

“Drat! It has to be they vouchsafed a monkey man hairier than my William Henry Johnson!”

“You float lead balloons Mr. Barnum.”

“Who are these paragons?” shrieked Barnum, growing red in the face. Where be their circuses? Explain their humbug to me!”

“They comprise a posse PT, of which I give you five ringmasters: David Ricks, Pascal Saviot, Emma Walmsley, Albert Bourla and Joaquin Duato. Their circuses are wondrous strange with unfathomable names: Eli Lily, AstraZeneca, Glaxosmithkline, Pfizer; an occasional extravaganza slung with an uncannily humdrum moniker such as Johnson and Johnson.

“Allow me to abbreviate their humbug. For millennia mankind struggled with the stresses of poverty, loss, betrayal, exhaustion and spiritual distress. Then, after your death something remarkable occurred. Together with the arrival of what we call a pharmaceutical industry existential problems came to be monetized. Medicines such as homeopathics and herbs attuned to the human design were supplanted because they were not patentable. In order to buttress their psycho-pharmaceutical nostrums the ringmasters performed a magic trick. Bogus psychiatric conditions were conjured.

Their supposed curability with the industry’s dubious but patentable chemicals was proclaimed. The erratically acting pharmaceuticals engendered ever more dire medical conditions that burdened the afflicted with shame. To alleviate the stigma a dogma was propagated that the mentally ill require medicating with ever more of the ‘new and improved’ concoctions. Dependence on the drugs became a self-fulfilling prophesy. Ringmasters skilled at sustaining the rigamarole are handsomely rewarded.”

“Indeed a most marvelous humbug,” Barnum declared, “Regale me about these chemicals. How are these new medical conditions known?”

“An example is the first and later “generation” of neuroleptic medicines, also called anti-psychotics. If I tell you their names your head will explode. As for the conditions they are many. We have psychosis, schizophrenia, dysthymia, bi-polar one, bi-polar two, bi-polar three, bi-polar four and bi-polar five, cyclothymic disorder. The new conditions are tallied up in a well-regarded volume, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. It is now into its fifth edition and counting.”

“An opportunity beckons,” he exulted. “I shall mount exhibits,” he continued: “Half-reptile, half-lunatic, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Neuroleptoserus! And here in the next booth, halfways joyous, halfways melancholiac, ‘The Bifurcate, Bi-polar Man.’ Beside him–if I have this right—The Unfortunate Dysthymia, a woman who cares for absolutely nothing!”

“One rejoices to hear that death has not dimmed your imagination PT. However, showmanship such as yours no longer flies. The afflicted are too many. I fear they better qualify as ‘exhibits’ themselves, than customers.”

Absorbing this news Barnum’s face fell and his presence within my dream receded.

The next night brought forth another and darker dream. A melancholic P.T. Barnum gives himself over to modern-day psychiatry. Having been prescribed the anti-psychotic, haloperidol Barnum reacts with agitation and uncontrollable restlessness. This prompts a return to the psychiatry office.

“Look here Ed, Barnum’s boomeranged,“ his doctor, Sid says. “Must be akathisia. Better switch to a second-generation neuroleptic. Maybe we should have used that in the first place.”

“I know what you mean,” his colleague Ed replies. “They all balance the neurotransmitters, so I’m told. Be a good fellow and rummage through the drug barrel. Hope we’re not yet clean out of asenapine, clozapine, iloperidone, lumateperone, lurasidone, olanzapine, paliperidone, quetiapine, risperidone and ziprasidone. Wait! That hot little rep who dropped by the other day, which one was it she recommended? Oh, and by the way Barnum, I surmise that your insurance has elapsed so this will be coming out of your pocket.”

Given risperidone, Barnum is advised everything will be fine and that he can retreat to the peace and quiet of his sepulcher. Like a dutiful zombie, Barnum trudges back to his grave only to find himself spinning uncontrollably within it. Back to the psychiatric office he schleps.

“Aw crap, I thought this might happen!” Ed says, “Rotten luck. You’ve got Tardive Dyskinesia Barnum, too much damn dopamine signaling in the brain! Bad idea to take you off the ‘ole risperidone though. A little TD never killed anyone. Try not to get all worked up. We’ll just lower the dose. Go on back to your crypt and chill out Mr. Barnum.”

Barnum complies and the rolling over in his grave abates. But now mysteriously, he has contracted Tourette’s Syndrome for I hear him repeatedly, sputtering “Humbug! Humbug! Did didd didd didd…ddastardly…hhumbug!” I woke up before finding out if he ever makes it back to the psychiatric office.

By way of comic relief…

Forgetting poor P.T. Barnum for the moment, here is an entry from the Compendium of Madness Perspectives, extracted from the Appendix of Sane Asylums, the Success of Homeopathy Before Psychiatry Lost Its Mind.

Meshugeneh Antecedent to this Yiddish term is shigaon from Deuteronomy, meaning crazy. It expresses the common biblical theme of retribution due to deviating from the word of God. Later in that section, God says that the Jewish people will become m’shuga after a foreign people steals their crops and abuses them. Talmudic rabbis saw madness as a legal issue. They held that someone who is mentally incompetent — a category known as a shoteh, derived from the Hebrew word for wanderer or vagrant is exempt from most religious obligations. He or she can neither marry nor bear witness. Maimonides described the shoteh is someone who runs around naked or throws rocks.

Some Talmudic sources equate madness with sinfulness. The sage Reish Lakish for example, says that a person only sins when the spirit of shtut — madness or folly — descends. The Talmud describes a shtut as someone who goes out alone at night or sleeps in a cemetery But Oy! So as to obtain learned counsel a devout Chassid may prostrate himself on the grave of a deceased sage. If while doing so he falls asleep is he messhugeh? (See also the Meshugass section in Chaim Yankel’s Heymischer Homeopathy, The Schmendrick’s Guide to Remedying Yiddish Yiddish Kvetches)

When History Has Been HijackedThe Narrative Must Be Seized or Else Choice Is Forfeited

When History Has Been Hijacked
The Narrative Must Be Seized or Else Choice Is Forfeited

by | Jan 9, 2023 | Homeopathy, Hot Topics | 0 comments

Particularly in the arena of mental health, distortion of history results in loss of choice.

Some of you may already have heard about my new book, Sane Asylums, The Success of Homeopathy Before Psychiatry Lost Its Mind. Thanks for spreading the word!

Simon & Schuster
Also available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Bam!., Bookshop, Indie Bound, and Homeopathic Educational Services

It’s been gratifying to hear of so many stories about homeopathy’s helping when conventional medicine has failed or caused harm. Still, as a mental health care option, a megaphone loud enough to lead Americans to homeopathy has not yet been found. We also lament the ready accessibility of assault weapons while failing to block their sale. Both problems cry out for new thinking.

Some guilt-ridden psychiatrists purport to distance themselves from the baloney science the PR arm of their own psychopharm industry blurts. Sadly, unfounded media claims about a “broken” brain or chemical imbalance are too often heard to be questioned. Unable to wean themselves from their accustomed profits the same doctors cannot constrain themselves from toxic neuroleptic and benzodiazepine prescribing. That this is disastrous for the public has not gone unnoticed as the popularity of Robert Whitaker’s books Mad in America and Anatomy of an Epidemic attest.

While it amazes me how little pushback I have gotten on Sane Asylums’ subtitle that psychiatry has lost its mind (none actually) a mystery remains why so few of us in the end opt for homeopathy rather than psychopharm for anxiety, depression, mood or eating disorders.

The philosopher John Locke has said: “New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any reason but because they are not already common.” Though good sense shouts that homeopathy is the mental health care antidote to toxic psychopharmacology the notion as yet appears too “new.” After all this time, how come? The reason is that in the wake of homeopathic history’s hijacking, freedom of health care choice has eroded.

Sane Asylums was originally pitched to Springer, an overseas publishing house with a long history of bringing forth homeopathic medical and historical texts. In the wake of a European kibosh on homeopathy something changed. A trumped up reason was found to reject the proposal: With a straight face Springer let me know that homeopathic asylums and their neighboring, non-homeopathic mental hospitals offered perfectly equivalent moral care. The differences were not worth mentioning.

If you lived in upstate New York in the 1880s and had a nervous breakdown, your family might have had to choose between sending you to Selden Talcott’s Middletown Asylum for the Insane in Middletown, NY or the Utica mental illness hospital, “Old Main,” run by Amariah Brigham and 120 miles north of Middletown. Both facilities offered rest, nursing and cultural activities. The benefits included homeopathy and spectatorship of a superb baseball the team, the Asylums at Middletown; and at Utica, the opportunity to contribute to the asylum’s newsletter.

A renowned “sane” asylum in Easton, PA., Dr. James Pursell’s sanitarium,
a remodeled 44 room mansion originally built in 1812

An appreciable difference was that if you were prone to violent outbursts, so as to protect yourself and fellow patients at Middletown,  the last resort–mode of restraint–would have been in a camisole (straight jacket). But at Utica, Amariah Brigham would have penned you up in his infamous “Utica Crib,” a torture device Edgar Allen Poe can have imagined. With a thick mattress on the bottom, slats on the sides, and a hinged top that could be locked from the outside, the crib was eighteen inches deep, eight feet long, and three feet wide. Used to restrain and break the spirit of patients, the notorious crib I suspect is the backstory for the expression to “become unhinged,” referring to the wild behaviors of patients once the crib’s cover was lifted. Knowing the facts which asylum would you pick?

Forty-three miles away from Middletown stood an equally large, non-homeopathic moral care mental health asylum, the Hudson River State Hospital. It was built in 1873, one year before Middletown. In contrast to Middletown Hospital where Selden Talcott’s facility was not only homeopathic but entirely self-sufficient, Hudson River State Hospital was a money pit excoriated by the New York Times for having through mismanagement or embezzlement lost $1.2 million dollars of tax payers’ monies.

In another example, let us consider Mary Todd Lincoln’s insanity and treatment at Richard Patterson’s “sane” asylum. Existing history offers two equally preposterous accounts. The first is that following a sensational trial, Mary, who the court deemed incurably insane, was never really ill in the first place. This is belied by accounts such as the following (documented in Sane Asylums):

One of Mary’s doctors, Willis Danforth, was the star witness. He reported that Mary had told him that an evil Indian spirit was pulling wires out of her left eye, that she was distracted by premonitions of her own death and that she was prone to vomiting up her meals to foil imaginary poisoners. The manager of the Chicago hotel she lived in explained how Mary had shown up in the elevator half-naked, and sent all her belongings to Milwaukee one day believing the city was being consumed by a raging fire.

The second narrative says that while clearly out of her mind, all Mary Todd Lincoln needed in order to recover was a spot of rest and the advice of savvy lawyers. Up until my 150 year-late investigation homeopathy’s role in bringing Mary Todd Lincoln to sanity has gone untold. My conjecture is that had Mary’s successful treatment been lauded and recounted in school books, setbacks sustained by homeopathic medical schools in the wake of the 1910 Flexner report could have been forestalled.

The great utopian asylums were undone by their own success that led to overcrowding, underfunding and inferior staffing. In the bigger picture homeopathy’s demise occurred insidiously, driven by immense pressure exerted by the impetus of biomedical capital driven forces that caught up society and seduced homeopaths as well. As recounted in Sane Asylums homeopathy’s marginalization is attributed to economic pressures rather than to biomedical advances.

Entrenched within academia is a narrative that the true story inconveniently contradicts. For this we can thank Johns Hopkins Medical School whose publications persistently portray homeopathy as passe due to its having been a sect and a medical heresy. Johns Hopkins’ fictitious account contaminates medical school departments of history and university history departments throughout the country.

Having surveyed the faculties of dozens of university history departments it is hard to miss a curricular concentration top heavy on gender, colonialism, racism and Black History. The ubiquity of these topics is in many ways commendable, but there is a dark side: Other worthwhile fields whose exploration could likewise expand informed choice and enhance well-being are neglected. Academics, historians, translational medicine proponents and social science professors attending to homeopathic history have gone missing.

Confronted with a narrative invented by the pharmaceutical industry it is no wonder the public is easily deceived and devoid of informed health care choice. Researching the buried history of our amazing homeopathic asylums, a task that Sane Asylums likens to excavating the Dead Sea Scrolls should belong to professional historians not a lone homeopath. Seizing our narrative will elevate homeopathy’s mental health care profile.

A Glimpse into Autism Materia Medica

A Glimpse into Autism Materia Medica

by | Jun 4, 2017 | Autoimmunity, Hot Topics, Reading List | 0 comments

Materia Medica Autism by Jerry Kantor, Chapter of The Autism Reversal Toolbox book

Published in the Homeo Magazine Dynamics March 31, 2017

Sine Wave Materia Medica

This is a chapter of the book “Autism Reversal Toolbox”, By Jerry Kantor.

Available at www.merlijnboekhandel.nl and in our website store.

The full range of existing materia medica can and will come into play during the treatment of ASD or related autoimmune conditions. The following compilation of suggested remedies is divided among remedies I have found possessing unusual and specific relevance to ASD and other remedies whose situational relevance is generally. The practitioner is urged to make a full an investigation of any remedy under consideration. A study of the Unda system with its 76 remedies is recommended, as only basic suggestions are offered here.

Parents are kindly reminded not to try to treat their children based on the remedy descriptions here or in other books about homeopathy for autism. A professional is needed not only to see the remedy state clearly, but more importantly to manage the roller coaster ride of ups and downs that can ensue from a remedy.

PREGNANCY RELATED ASD ISSUES

For child or both mother and child when a pregnancy ailment and ASD is are associated.

When the mother has suffered an injurious blow to the womb

Bellis Perennis

The mother may harbor a suspicion that nothing has ever been the same since.

After-effects of Common Infection

Streptococcinum (including PANDA) High strung mother, perhaps prone to weeping; where there has been a history of Strep infection. Slow growth in the child, also with tendency to relapse.

Staphylococcinum

The staphylococcus bacterium thrives in circumstances of debility from overwork, anxiety, poor nutrition, constitutional weakness. Affinity for the endocardium.

All Unda remedies below are only available in the United States, not in Europe (editor).

Unda #1

Basic drainage, general anti-toxic that reboots hepatic function. Strong effect on the liver, kidneys and gall bladder (Achillea millefolium, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Lyc, Valeriana, Angelica archangelica, Equisetum arvense, Arg met).

Unda #243

Like #1 but acts as a functional remedy with specific indication for the hepatic cells. Indispensable (Combretum raimbaultii, Peumus boldus, Cholesterolinum, Lycopodium, Podophylum).

Unda #2

Basic drainage and strengthening of kidney function (both in the allopathic and TCM sense), in relation to toxic accumulation. (Berberis, Thlaspi, Juniperus, Argentum met, Asparagus, Genista tinctoria, Petroselinum sativum).

Anergic Diathesis, Copper-Gold-Silver (CU-AU-AG).

Oligotherapy remedy (6X or 3C solutions not potentized). Where there is a history of recurrent and/or debilitating infections.

Polychrest

Pyrogenium

Septic states or where has been a history of sepsis.

Caesarian section and other traumas of delivery

Liliflorae (remedy family described in Sankaran’s An Insight into Plants)

The following remedies exhibiting jauntiness and loquacity may reflect

the issue of “Forced out vs. Held in” with regard to forcibly early or restrained birth. They are worth considering in the related ASD case:

Crocus sativa

Veratrum album

Veratrum viride

Paris quadrifolia

Spurge/Rubber/Oils (Euphorbiaceae described by Sankaran, and Petroleum as discussed by Mangiolavari)

As words commonly associated with these remedies include “constricted,” “hidebound,” “drawn backwards” their associated theme of “Compressed vs. Released” should be considered where delivery has been compromised. May manifest as the clinginess vs. bolting polarity:

Croton Tiglium

Hura Brasiliensis

Latex

Mancinella

Petroleum

Glandular Imbalance

According to Sensation Method findings, the thematic essence of endocrine glands has to do with high-level fulfillment of one’s duty, relevant when the theme emerges in the intake with regard to the child’s parents or familial Julian’s formula for prescribing endocrine sarcodes for glandular problems at specific potencies:

3C or 5C to encourage functioning of a gland

7C to modulate / regulate a gland function

9C to suppress/inhibit gland functioning.

Unda remedies

Worth studying are the clinical approaches to addressing glandular imbalance within the Unda system. The two etiologies with the greatest relevance to ASD are

The Tubercular and degenerative etiology (paralleling developmental endocrinology and in accordance with the above, sensation method’s insight, culminating in high level functioning) which suggests Unda numbers 14, 16, 21, 48 and 1000

Dysfunction within the diencephalon-cortico-gonadic axis suggesting Unda numbers 1, 10 and 245..

Scrophularia nodosa

Enlarged glands. Ailments of the breast. Eczema. Often after grief.

Polychrests:

Calc Fluor

Financial stresses for the parents or within the familial legacy. The conjunction of Calc’s concern with bone stability and fluoride’s sudden instability expresses itself in glandular dysfunction promptiung induration (excessive bone hardness and growth) but also brittleness.

Leucorrhea

Kreosote

Where the mother has had a longstanding leucorrhea and the child is slow growing and poorly developed.

Magnesium Sulphurica

Languor and staggering gait in the child. Leuccorhea or eclampsia in the mother. Consider especially when there is an inequality of existing between wife and husband. I have seen this expressed when one spouse shoulders disproportionate breadwinning responsibility and, where the wife is physically more imposing than the husband.

Depression During Pregnancy

Unda #9

Basic drainage, all ailments of the respiratory tract. Assists the lungs both in the allopathic and TCM sense wherefore addresses grief from a drainage standpoint. On a moment to moment basis the lungs provide the interplay between the external and internal terrains. Inability to resolve centeredness vs disorientation in the dimension of smell. (Adianatum capillus veneris, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Inula helenium, Tussilago farfara, Arg met, Drosera, Grindelia, Potentilla tormentilla, Cuprum).

Polychrests

Cimicifuga

Post-partum depression, feeling of black cloud hovering. Awareness that motherhood poses severe constraint on her independence.

Sepia

History of resentment and disappointment. Lack of clarity as to her psycho-sexual position in life. Delusion that hope is toxic. Generally stagnated condition (Liver Constraint picture in TCM).

Gelsemium

Weary, faint-hearted pursuant to a setback. General heaviness and prostration.

Nitric Acidum

Fault-finding, exacting, glass is half-full. Cannot forget or easily forgives wrongs.

Natrum Muriaticum

Self-contained, averse to consolation. Desires intimacy but keeps it at arm’s length. Delusion it is dangerous to express grief. Overly responsible.

DYSFUNCTIONAL BONDING

Due to their relevance to the neonate and infant, the following remedies are appropriate for use as background constitutional remedies, administered on a weekly basis during toxic clearing. The remedy chosen for weekly use need not be limited to just these however.

Good sources for learning about the Matridonal remedies (which include the first six remedies listed below) are Melissa Assilem, The Gifts of the Mother ? Narayana Publications, Kandern, Germany 2009 and Alize Timmernam [“The Love and Care Hormone,” Spectrum of Homeopathy, Perinatal edition, 1/1/2013 but JK also has an as yet unpublished ms of hers]. Keep alert, as new sarcodes continue to be introduced.

Placenta

In the child, abdominal, pain that may manifest with reflux, belching, constipation and diarrhea. Depression. Diarrhea. Mother and child: prostration, restlessness and apathy. Poor impulse control. As the organ remains much misunderstood but manifesting global functions in relation to all systems, applies to many conditions where any indication of placental dysfunction. See the discussion of autoimmunity on page 000.

Lac Humanum

Poor ability to maintain good relationships. Tendency to addiction. Lack of or dysfunctional history of breast feeding. Compare with Lac Maternum, below (where the issue of incomplete incarnation evidence in daydreaming and lack of joy is stronger).

Lac Maternum

As above though utilizing the milk of nine mothers. Enlarged issue of incomplete incarnation.

Umbilicus

Unusual degree of innocence. Respiratory issues, distorted sense of time.

Folliculinum

Highly hormonal remedy. “I am a doormat” issue from having been longtime dominated. Similar to Carcinosin in expressing excessive responsibility. Great Mother theme.

Amniotic Fluid

Delight in water, atmospheric sensitivity, pulsation, old soul.

Carcinosin

Over adaptation to the needs for others. Look for the miasm in the parents.

Bismuth

Hyper-attachment in an atmosphere or history of admonition.

Cuprum

Slavish rule-following, ambition, lack of connection to emotions. Look for rigidity among the parents.

Cuprum Cum Carcinosin

Tinus Smits’ amalgam of Carc and Cuprum, applicable when features of both are evident, which is often as the remedies overlap a lot.

Vernix Caseosa

Made from infant sebum, wherefore the remedy state reflects excessive vulnerability due to inadequate boundaries.

Anacardium

Inner conflict theme wherefore alternately hard, unfeeling, cruel on the one hand, and helpless on the other. Ameliorated by rapid eating, stuffs himself.

Rhus Tox

Connection to past trauma cannot be let go. Like scar tissue, the mindset lacks elasticity.

Hydrogenium

The opposite end of the pendulum from Lac Maternum: the client is so fully incarnated that the feeling of oneness with the universe is socially distancing.

Saccharum Officinalum

Distractability, overly-affectionate, general dryness, indecision, fruitless search for

love because incapable of self-love.

Mother-child bond

Cadmium Muriaticum

Powerless, overly dramatic due to poor relation to mother.

Candida

Where the mother exerts a stagnating effect on the child’s digestive tract, this organic tissue-consuming bacteria invades the mucosa and forms a biofilm.

Muriatic Acidum

Mother has a destructive presence in the child’s life.

Veratrum Album

Terrible fear due to demotion from privileged status in regard to the mother.

Cenchris

A sexually abused mother can transmit debilitating anxiety to the child.

Lachesis

Especially when the family has been fractured. Jealousy, obsessiveness.

Oxtyocin

The love/bonding, “tend and befriend” hormone. To restore equilibrium in life and connection to mother.

Aethusa Cynapium

Father-child bond

Ammonia Carb

Where there exists a familial atmosphere of bitterness and disappointment.

Carbonicas generally

Where due to the amorphous influence of the father, a sense of identity and personal value are undermined.

Zincum

When the father is emotionally remote. Perseveration, over-sensitivity, mental fatigue are evident.

Yersinium pestis

Nosde from the bubonic plague. Similar to Ammonium Carb re sabotaging of a relationship with a father or authority figure after an initial idolization of that person.

DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY

Posterior Pituitary (the gland that secretes Oxytocin)

Has been indicated the most, predominantly in children when maturational markers or behavioral issues have been delayed and has been especially useful as an intercurrent in cases of bedwetting.

Unda # 202 and #700

Peripheral drainage remedies for when the situation is profoundly syphilitic. Each would best be combined with a general drainage and a functional remedy.

FAILURE TO THRIVE

Abrotanum

Emaciation due to lack of nutrients, tubercular state.

Alfalfa

Conjunction of debility, poor appetite and nervous system complaints such as insomnia and anxiety.

China

Malarial miasm. History of persecution, social deprivation, injustice.

Chloralum

Increases appetite, physical strength. Emotional context: irresolution, night terrors, hurriedness.

Iodium

Thyroid issues, restless, desperation and obsessiveness akin to starvation.

GUT SUPPORT

Leaky Gut

Unda #50

Saccharum off. 6x

PARASITES

Carcinosin

Threadworms.

Cina

Worms. Child is averse to touch, easily agitated.

Teucrium

Worms. Child is talkative, itchy, emotionally sensitive.

Helminth

Parasitical worm nosode.

Calc Carb

General “dampness” and psoric picture invites worm etiology.

Scrophulariaceae

Biofilm gut issue: a slimy community of micro-organisms, attached to a wet or moist surface that include bacteria, yeasts, algae and fungi only microscopically visible. In my experience, detoxification of the biofilm addresses failure to thrive and promotes metabolism. Expressed in accordance with Sankaran’s attachment vs non-attachment theme: General sensation: sharp, sticking, stinging, stitching.

Key remedies in the family:

Digitalis

Consider for ASD in sycotic families, delusion of criminality.

Scrophularia nodosa

Consider for ASD in cancer miasm families, with the effects of grief, over-adaptation to the needs of others.

Leptandra

Consider for ASD in syphilitic families, with hopelessness, despondency and exhaustion.

(Note that regressive tendencies occurring during biotherapeutic drainage or pharmaceutical clearing may not need to be treated with a remedy. Instead, let the drainage run its course and the regression should resolve on its own, leaving the child in an improved state. If regressive tendencies remain when the drainage phase is completed, use remedies such as the following.

Baryta Carb

Babyish, desire to hide, craving approval, developmental delays.

Bismuth

“Velcro” child, clinging.

Viscum Album

Regression due to past lives or karmic influence (Meditative Provings insight).

(miasms in the perhaps, metaphorical sense)

Karma is understood here in terms of concepts recurring throughout this book. These include memories, behaviors, creative energies, and the impact of traumatic acts consolidated within Kidney Yang or the dimension of Hearing; the transmission of Hearing consolidated material to the Hun or ethereal soul (equivalent to Jung’s Collective Unconscious) from where it becomes accessible to a newborn soul; family legacies of illness, addictiveness or specific talents (that also fall under the rubric of a miasm). Where karmic influence in and of itself is thought to have an especial presence, remedies such as the following may be interpolated:

Bromium

What Phosphorus is to external impressions, Bromium is to the presence of karmic influence. Utilize when a child sees ghosts or spiritual entities; where there is a sense of the primacy of rebirth as a past or current issue.

Meditative proving remedies (Madeline Evans)

Note: In addition to the ones below, all remedies in this two-volume set merit study. Evans’s analyses emphasize effects on or reflections of the chakra system. Useful intercurrently in the Sine Wave method. Before using, study each in depth.

Ayahuasca

Releases darkness from ancestral influence, fear, grief, hatred. Where the autism has an out-of-body quality. Influence on the Heart, Thymus and Brow chakras.

Bay Leaf

Highly syphilitic remedy due to its reflection of hidden states, deceptiveness, emotional closedness; as opposed to Merc., however with mental slowness and confusion. Influence on the Brow and Solar Plexus chakras.

Berlin Wall

Where a legacy of futility, repression, and restriction. Split in the spirit. Powerful energy releasing remedy with regard to entry to a new age. Influences Thymus gland and Heart chakras.

Chalcanthite

Autism with dyslexia; extreme fragility due to legacy of trauma, medication abuse; vagueness of personality, lack of substance. Supports Base chakra.

Orange

Prompts inner stillness. The meditative proving discussion describing promotion to higher levels of spiritual awareness via lighting the way to truth especially among children reflects Swedenborg. Influences the Heart and Brow chakras. Similar to Slate, also worth studying.

Rose Quartz

Where parents maintain the child was reluctant to incarnate; a legacy of non-appreciation and manic-depression. Obsessive thinking. Poor concentration. Opens the heart. Positive influence on all chakras. Can be used in a positive way, to support unconditional love and an open heart chakra in the exhausted parents.

Thymus

Highly karmic remedy, deeply syphilitic. Supports Base, Throat and Heart chakras. Important as it promotes release of many sorts. Underused.

Gem essence remedies

Note: In addition to the two remedies below the other ten jewels described by Peter Tumminello merit close reading. “Soft focus” remedies that — like the meditative provings remedies — have an affinity for karmic issues, sexuality, and creativity. Reflective of spiritual concerns within a family legacy they are useful intercurrently as in the Sine Wave method. Before using, study each in depth.

Lapis Lazuli

Where parents insist the child’s autism represents an inner struggle for meaning, where there is also a need for amusement; when there is a legacy of coldness in the mother.

Pearl

Where there is a legacy of the self having been fragmented or lost due to isolation, panic and fear. Images of darkness prevail.

VANGUARD APPROACH SOFT FOCUS REMEDIES

[with the potential to be universally applicable)

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF2)

Fibroblast growth factors are derived from molecules used by neurons to communicate with one another. In normal amounts they promote visual acuity and vision repair. When in excess (as in neural overload) cellular signaling breaks down, as in Stage Four homotoxicosis. Barbara Brewitt’s research cited in Patricia Lemer’s Envisioning a Bright Future indicates that low potency remedies made from this sarcode can improve nervous system, immune and organ function.

Glyphosate

Key ingredient in pesticides (discussed under Toxic Burden). Especially where the exposure causes a Never Well Since situation. Remedy to use for detoxification.

Glutaminicum acidum (Glut-ac.)

Remedy used by Reckeweg to improve brain function in impaired children.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Aspartame

Environmentally pervasive excitotoxins discussed within Toxic Burden.

Hillary Clinton’s Homeopathic RemedyCross me and you have crossed a rattler

Hillary Clinton’s Homeopathic Remedy
Cross me and you have crossed a rattler

by | Jul 26, 2016 | Homeopathy, Hot Topics | 2 comments

Having already analyzed Donald Trump from a homeopathic perspective, I am responding to requests to explore  his presidential rival Hillary Clinton.  After considering well-known facts of her life, mainstream media information and knowledge of her public persona a likely remedy choice has emerged.

But first some background for readers unfamiliar with homeopathy:

Homeopathy is a system of medicine governed by a principle known as the Law of Similars that states: use like to cure like.  Homeopaths prescribe a particular “remedy”  that can be made from a wide variety of substances (including but not limited to plants, minerals, gases and venoms) that is prepared in an extremely diluted form. The same substance, in large doses would actually cause the same  symptoms one seeks to treat.

That homeopathic remedies can be prescribed for an acute illness is recognized.  Less known, at least in the U.S. is homeopathy’s ability to address longstanding problems. Constitutional Homeopathy looks at chronic ailments and illness prevention.  More dilute than acute remedies but even more energetic when accurately chosen, constitutional remedies have a deep and lasting action that can fundamentally alter and improve a person’s state of health. Constitutional prescribing takes every aspect of a person into consideration. The treatment is truly holistic, factoring into remedy selection the client’s emotional state, temperament, food preferences and presenting complaint.  There are hundreds of homeopathic remedies to choose from and their action is laid out in great detail in homeopathic source books.

What is the remedy that would support Hillary Clinton’s constitution and improve her state of physical and emotional health?

The constitutional remedy that Secretary Clinton needs is made from the venom of the American rattlesnake and is called Crotalus Horridus.

In homeopathic studies (called Provings) the action of each remedy when taken in a gross (not diluted) amount has been established.  In this case, a gross and non-lethal amount of exposure to this particular snake venom would have a most interesting effect, producing in healthy individuals who have little in common with  Hillary Clinton, a state of health which would mirror her actual and potential ailments, plus some of her personality traits. In accordance with the Law of Similars, subjecting the venom to a series of dilutions at an FDA approved pharmacy yields the homeopathic remedy ready to be administered.

Horridus sounds and actually means “horrible.” But the “remedy state,” meaning qualities found in a person needing Crotalus Horridus is actually a mixed bag. Let me describe its various features that indicate it is the appropriate remedy for Hillary Clinton.

On the positive side

  • An independent and adventurous spirit
  • Leadership qualities
  • Sympathy and a tendency to protect the weak (her work on behalf of children and minorities)
  • Love of travel
  • Playfulness
  • A spiritual or moral bent
  • Good with language

Qualities that can be either good or bad

  • Personal relationships tend to be highly charged (in contrast to Donald Trump whose remedy, Fluoric Acidum reflects relationships tending to disintegrate)
  • Impulsivity (reckless use of a single email account for personal and State matters)
  • Emotionally intense but suffer from the need for self-control (true about all snake remedies). Handling of Bill’s Monica Lewinsky affair tested and inflamed this quality
  • Cannot bear to be controlled. This is actually the core theme of the Crotalus Horridus remedy

On the negative side

Food preferences

Ms. Clinton’s recognized food and drink preferences suggest the remedy Crotalus Horridus. These include creamy and spicy food, as well as red wine.

Though I am by no means suggesting a drinking problem, Crotalus Horridus is often prescribed for alcoholism. If the remedy is on point then control of alcoholic indulgence suggests itself as a lifestyle recommendation for Hillary Clinton.

Ailments

  • Hemorrhagic tendency–Reflecting the actual snakebite’s toxic effect to cause bleeding. Ms. Clinton has suffered from blood clots and receives treatment against their recurrence.
  • Tendency to confusion and faintness, a Crotalus Horridus feature.
  • Nausea and vomiting. Ms. Clinton’s 2012 illness diagnosed as viral gastroenteritis.
  • http://www.lifescript.com/health/centers/digestive/articles/hillary_clintons_stomach_bug.aspx is consistent with GI symptoms associated with this remedy (again reflecting suppression of fight or flight emotion).
  • Voice issues, hoarseness, cough paroxysms, typical in snake remedies.
  • Vision issues (since her fall) are covered by Crotalus Horridus (but also by other remedies such as Arnica and Natrum Sulphurica that I would give her first for this problem).
  • Menopausal remedy, Crotalus Horridus would come in use for numerous complaints pertaining to her life stage (so long as the overall picture fits).
  • Hypothyroid condition for which she is medicated. Actually, another rattlesnake remedy, Crotalus Cascavella is more strongly indicated for thyroid issues. In my experience clients requiring a snake remedy tend to continue to need remedies in the snake kingdom for a while. Likely after having derived benefit from Crotalus Horridus Clinton would not long after require Crotalus Cascavella to address her thyroid problem.

Donald Trump’s Homeopathic Remedy

Donald Trump’s Homeopathic Remedy

by | Jun 6, 2016 | Homeopathy, Hot Topics | 26 comments

Let’s solve the Rubik’s Cube of Donald Trump. This will involve connecting the dots between a love of property and glamour, obsession with building walls, tendency to superficial relationships, cupidity and ruthlessness, Fluoric Acidum is unmistakably Donald Trump’s indicated remedy. Discussion of the remedy sheds light not only on Donald Trump but homeopathic practice and philosophy.

How would you like to get behind Donald Trump’s eyes or walk a mile in his shoes? An excursion into the Trump mind-set could decide whether or not to vote for him. Homeopathy offers two ways this can be carried out.

  1. A direct method undertaken only in accordance with supervised homeopathic research protocols involves daily self-administration of minute amounts of a toxic substance, in this case fluoric acid. After a month your inner Donald Trump will bud and soon blossom.
  2. The second, more convenient method involves reading about the homeopathic remedy derived from fluoric acid. This information (the remedy’s materia medica) issues from journals of research subjects who have undergone method one.

The day when Donald Trump actually becomes a patient any bias I may hold against him will be set aside and confidentiality will rule our relationship. But he does not work with me, poses a suitability risk in regard to the office of president and his numerous interviews, frequent appearance in political debates, pronouncements on social media, vivid relationship and business proclivities showcase a temperament inviting to study (also see this link for some of the basic facts about his life). Although details of the presumptive Republican nominee’s medical history are scant, a particular remedy Fluoric Acidum recommends itself as holding up a mirror to the Trump psyche.

The indicated remedy

An indicated remedy profile depicts illness susceptibilities but also so much more. Materia medica divulges an analysis of the remedy-type personality; an accounting of its core values; a depiction of characteristic behaviors; and a window into a key emotional struggle the client is typically at pains not to reveal.  After a remedy has run its course numerous improvements in health are usually noticed. This occurs because the remedy prompts resolution of a hot button issue. When circumstances cause the hot button to be pushed behaviors and outbursts arise that anyone other than a homeopath would chalk up to the individual’s personality.

Depending on how similar they are to Trump in the first place, week by week and month by month participants in the study steadily report behaviors and symptoms suggesting they are morphing into Donald Trump.

But judge for yourself:

The Fluoric Acidum remedy

What follows is a sampling of Fluoric Acidum materia medica adapted from a master homeopath, Rajan Sankaran. The remedy is described as connecting the dots between the following features:

* A demand for glamour

They will push anything and anyone aside in the all-absorbing desire to shine and glitter. They love to be the big macho guy for everybody to look up to. They want to draw the attention with their big car and high position in glamour world. They are very ambitious, want to climb up high and earn lots of money.

* Tendency to superficial relationships

Fluorine is the lightest, the most active and reactive, forming and breaking relationships very quickly. This can be seen in the symptomatology of Fluoric acid. The remedy state is flirtatious, has many acquaintances but no deep relationship. The term “buoyancy” has been used to describe it. The word is derived from “buoy,” a conical object that floats on the surface of the ocean and never sinks or reaches any depth. The feeling of being in a fluorine state is abnormal for a human being, at any time.

* Immorality

Aversion to responsibility, sexual desire increased; attracted to strangers, and increased energy. A naive psychopath, prone to serious gambling.

*Mental buoyancy

*Isolation and narcissism

*Cupidity (overt demand for sexual experience)

*Dependency on property

*Ruthlessness

*Compulsion to break taboos

*Under the delusion that he must get rid of servants

In other words, “You’re fired.”  Fluoric Acid is the only remedy to appear in this rubric.

 

Illness susceptibility:

Comes into play in regard to ailments of the bones, mucous membranes and epithelium, complaints of old age, and premature old age; sexual exhaustion, weakly constitutions, sallow skin, and emaciation.

Treatment with the remedy

In accordance with the homeopathic dictum, Use like to treat like, repeated and succussed (vigorously shaken) dilutions of fluoric acid (producing the remedy) effectively treat a state reflected in the substance’s proving. Anyone having access to or influence with Donald Trump who wishes to make him aware of this beneficial remedy is encouraged to contact me.

How did Trump get this way?

Fluoric acid exposure engenders a Trump-like mindset and physiology in research subjects. Donald Trump likely came to exemplify Fluoric Acidim by other means.  An inherited tendency to the state that homeopaths refer to as miasmatic is responsible. Understanding Donald Trump’s Fluoric Acidum remedy state directs us into intricacies of homeopathic and Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that I now relate in condensed fashion. A more expansive account can be found in my book Interpreting Chronic Illness, The Convergence of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy and Biomedicine.

Fluoric acid’s sphere of influence, extending to the bones, kidneys, bladder, epithelium, sexual function, and general vitality pertains to the Water phase in Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Five Phases system. My own reworking of the Five Phases, called Sense Dimensional Analysis designates Water as the Sense Dimension pertaining to the sense of Hearing. An existential conundrum is embedded within Hearing. It pits Entropy versus Consolidation. What does this mean?

In brief, entropy means our physical dissolution upon death. This is “opposed” by the energy of consolidation evident in the bones whose hard and dense tissue endures through time. Entropic dissolution of our body upon death is also combatted and vanquished via reproductive function, the fact that enduring characteristics are conveyed into the future by means of DNA.

Trump’s handshaking phobia and obsession with building a wall

These well known Trump traits reflect a germophobia feature pertaining to a category of illness susceptibility homeopaths call the syphilitic miasm within which Fluoric Acidum belongs. Let me explain.

An issue pertaining to boundaries expressed within the Sense Dimension of Hearing is reflected in the softness and moisture of epithelium on the one hand and its polar opposite, the hardness and dryness of bones on the other. Despite their opposing textures and function both tissues demarcate boundaries within a “permeability versus structure” spectrum. The “permeability versus resistance” conundrum’s infiltration of the subconscious produces angst: existential questions evoking the quandary of the outsider. These questions include:

“Am I granted entry or am I to be kept out?” “Am I a club member or must I transgress a boundary in order to belong?” “How do I secure my physical body from the intrusion of unwelcome germs?” As we have seen the latter question reflects the syphilitic miasm’s keynote germophobia feature.

 The syphilitic miasm and the Sense Dimension of Hearing

A syphilitic delusion is embedded within Hearing that fuels a belief that permeability is suspect. Thus, only rigid structures are to be trusted.  Borders must be fortified. Walls must be built to stave off foreign elements such as Muslims, Mexicans and ocean surf lapping at the margins of his golf course. Trump’s fears of contamination and disdain for permeability betrays ingrained terror of the nether side of the life and death boundary. His fears render him suspicious. His flight from fear expresses failure to resolve entropy versus consolidation. It compels short-term thinking, and speedy gratification of wealth, property, glamour and sexual wants.

Homeopathy’s notion of the syphilitic miasm is Hearing’s core conundrum inflamed to the point of consolidating syphilis’s influence within familial legacy. In homeopathic theory the remedy Donald Trump needs, Fluoric Acidum is a mentally buoyant, ruthless and transgressive strain of the syphilitic miasm.

Donald Trump’s inherited legacy displays the dilemma of an overcompensating outsider. Congenital difficulty facing up to entropy draws him and those within his line toward consolidation: over reliance on defensive structures such as walls; materiality and time compressed pleasures such as sex. Conjunct with illness susceptibilities described this is the remedy Fluoric Acidum.

Implications for our understanding of Trump

  1. Trump’s apparent heritage of transgression invites continuance of transgressive behavior. This reflects what to a homeopath appears to be syphilitic legacy. Though conventionally viewed as compensatory of insecurity (sexual or otherwise) Trump’ bluster serves to thwart congenital outsider status.
  2. Regarded through the lens of Fluoric Acidum Donald Trump will continue to shoot from the hip despite all attempts to behave in a more presidential manner. His transforming into a leader capable of long-term thinking or development of well-considered policy is not to be expected.

Addendum

How we know what a remedy such as Fluoric Acidum actually does

We let “experiment” temporarily stand for the less recognizable term proving (from a German word meaning to test) that homeopaths use when referring to the research process I am about to describe.

In our experiment six to ten healthy men and women having little or anything in common with Donald Trump are gathered together. For our purposes each of them is in the vicinity of Mr. Trump’s 69 years of age. Over the course of six months these individuals commit to maintaining stable lives. At the same time they will daily, self-administer minute amounts of an unspecified substance provided to them. All the while they maintain a journal detailing thoughts, feelings, behaviors, symptoms and even encounters cropping up during the six-month period. At the conclusion of the project the journals are forwarded to the research supervisor (known as a proving master). His close reading of the journals enables the supervisor to extract from and collate specific symptoms but also behaviors, and emotions directly tied to the substance’s influence. Events consistently aligned with the presence of the substance in the subjects’ lives are also noted. Unusual and rare entries in every category are designated as significant. In the resulting materia medica entry these are highlighted.

Note concerning homeopathic texts

Principal homeopathic texts are known as materia medica describe the total influence that a substance has been found to have on a healthy individual. These are extraordinarily truthful resources, making no distinction between desired and toxic effects. Nor any limit placed on substances from which a remedy may be derived. This includes but is not limited to plants, minerals, venoms, nosodes (illness discharge) or sarcodes (anatomical tissue). A lesson we derive from this is:

Depending on the exact circumstance and amount used any substance can be either a medicine or a poison.

Homeopathic materia medica has two relatives in the medical arena. These are 1) toxicology texts describing the deleterious effects of substances on living things and; 2) the physicians’ desk reference that focuses on the desired effects pharmaceuticals have on appropriately symptomatic individuals. Though a direct physiological consequence of the same drug, undesired outcomes dubbed  “side” effects are viewed as only incidentally related to the beneficial drug.
