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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
I sincerely request you do a homeopathic review of Hillary Clinton.
Would love to do but not enough information!
There are some good biographies of Hillary, and particularly her autobiography, Living History.
Well done, Sensei.
Now, to be fair, what remedies are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in need of?
Clintonian themes: preservation of power and cover up…
Sanders theme: anger against the establishment and fairness (Robinhood style). I can think of a few possibilities!
Clark, I meant to comment under you but landed under Francis, so, check below. Bernie is so obviously a Causticum–intolerant of injustice, overly sympathetic to victims–and Hillary: love of power and covering up, fear of being exposed, as you say, it must be Lycopodium.
Funny conversation. I kind of just assumed Trump was a Lachesis or snake remedy – but that’s similar to Flouric Acid. The below the belt insults he uses during debates – like ‘choke hold’ and proclaming his opponents of no energy/strength/stamina is pretty animal like (you got to give it to Trump – he does seem to have alot of energy)…plus his redness/heat/deceit.
I agree on Lycopodium for Hillary – but all politicians probably could use Lyco. Didn’t she have some head injury? I bet she needs Zincum or Nat Sulph or something like that.
The snake remedies usually feature a powerful emotional charge in relationships. Donald’s relationships break down quickly due to the superficiality of his connections.
why do you want to know? firstly… you can’t give it to them. secondly, we all know that it’s never done with one remedy, that a second, third.. fifth… different remedy is usually needed. Also we know, that some traits are in the genes = family miasm and some are what the environment moulded you into and hence a possibly eve healthy response to life.
And in the end, this is all theory. No wonder people don’t take serious what homeopathy is supposed to be
Dear Ute, the only reason our healing art is not everywhere taken seriously is ignorance. We both know that homeopathy is the most empirical medicine in the world: a remedy chosen on the basis of close analysis is dramatically proven out (or discredited) in practice every day. This the general public needs to know, also the basis on which a remedy choice is made. Donald Trump’s outsized persona, strange and unusual symptoms offer an opportunity to vividly (and with a dash of humor) introduce homeopathy in theory and practice. If the pot can be stirred discussion can percolate.
That’s an ingoeinus way of thinking about it.
B R I L L I A N T
Bernie is a Causticum. Cant’t tolerate injustice. Overly sympathetic to victims. Angry over injustice. Hillary is a Lycopodium. Love of power. Has no core beliefs. Will believe whatever it takes to get to the presidency. Deceit.
Great comments! I wonder what that tells us when for a public figure you do not have enough information? When a client sits in front of you and gives you limited info to work with, which remedies do you think of? I love Clark’s comments. Definitely something to think about. Hillary seems to be of the Sycotic miasm and Bernie, maybe Psora?
You have so much more control in the one-on-session. Also so much more opportunity to observe, direct the interview and elicit strange and unusual guiding symptoms. Trump is unusual in that his comments and behaviors are so flagrantly strange and telling that in his case the remedy easily recommends itself. Not the case re Clinton or Sanders whom even if I thought I could, would likely not be motivated to analyze publicly.
Very very cool. Good job!
This analysis concentrates only on the external Fluor aspect which in my view is correct but incomplete. This does not take into consideration what he wants to do which is “To Make America Great Again”. In other words Fluoricum is his modus operandi but it is not the goal which points to Aurum. So Aurum Fluoricum.
Yes. What I like about this nuanced prescription of Aurum Fluor is that the Aurum part, a syphilitic grief remedy on its own terms speaks to Trump’s grief over the loss of his older brother. It also fits with how Trump takes good care of those in his charge (unless he is suddenly, as per the indicated Fluoric Acidum delusion compelled to fire one of his servants!) The slogan Make America Great Again stands unmasked as an excess of responsibility in keeping with Aurum. It happens that there exists far more materia medica on Fluoric Acidum than on Aurum Fluor. Alas, we have at hand only one Donald Trump to treat in absentia! With two we could try out both remedies to see which is better.
This is so interesting! Love reading the analysis and seeing how total person the practice of homeopathy is – would that every candidate could undergo in-depth homeopathic treatment for at least a year before deciding to run our country…imagine the benefits for us all!!! 🙂
I read a New Yorker essay (author lost to me) arguing that DT rings a bell because human beings are more focused on regaining perceived loss than recognizing current health and prosperity. How would that fit in as a symptom? Fascinating to hear you guys debate. Would be so interesting to throw Malcolm Gladwell into the conversation. I would buy a ticket!
Perceived loss and apprehension about further loss. Focus on the here and now, the immediate and the pleasurable betrays terror of what lies on the other side of the wall dividing organized biological energies (life) from entropy or death. He is not ok with the bigger picture in which “consolidation,” securing of lasting legacies, acting on behalf of the future after we are dead and our spiritual energies continue to organize around important matters is the offset to entropy.
So interesting and rings true, too bad so much time has to wasted on Donald at all. What are you going to give Melania? Good luck.
It really is good to treat both members of a couple! I suspect that after seeing me, when Donald tells her “homeopathy is fantastic! The greatest medicine in the world!” she will be calling for an appointment.
Agreed! But (as family therapists know) you might do better to invite Melania in first, since Donald, narcissist that he is, would be the last person to consider that he has a problem in need of treatment…
Great analysis, Jerry. I am not technically attuned to the categories of homeopathy, so this is a good primer for me. What’s my remedy for the disgust, fear and anger I hold over having to choose between Trump and Clinton?
I think we have to make creative use of our disgust and anger. A remedy that induces complacency would be counterproductive at this time. Wow, what a humorless and dour response from me. Oh well.
I like the list of trump’s characteristics in a non judgemental way. There’s a place for everyone in this world but our characteristics should be matched to our activities and duties, especially when they involve leading a country.
