Good question, Joy. In "Homeopathy and The Elements," Scholten simply says that "Rhenium is a new remedy." This generally means there are no provings, and no homeopathic information is available. So he's combining toxicity, chemical information, and hypothesizing based on his who...

Many thanks to everyone for their thoughts in this matter. Yes, it has made us really think a lot. We've also realized that really we've done all we can, and what happens is absolutely not under our control. Joy's observations about miasms were fascinating. At this point, he's clearly been in a syph...

We know about the 3 days -- actually 71 hours in California. Trouble is, he's smart enough to conceal from us when the event is imminent, and has told us he will do so. I'll share this with his other friends, though, so if anyone happens to be in the right place at the right time, they'll know what ...

I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience preventing someone bent on committing suicide from actually doing it using only homeopathic remedies as treatment. Someone we know, who has been depressed with suicidal thoughts for a long time, has now failed out of school after his second year in law sc...

Hi, Soroush. I was thinking of remedies such as Clematis and Mezereum, for isntance, which, although dealing with symptoms that clearly have a Psoric underlayment, also have strong taints of Syphilis.

Interesting question, Soroush -- worthy of a research project. I seem to remember "scabies" mentioned as the organism that originated Psora. However, It also appears that ringworm (tinea) and some forms of herpes are at least closely related to the psoric miasm. In contrast, as far as I kn...

I agree -- absolutely no reference to Puls and hair falling out in any MM references in EH. Rosemary

Repertorium Universale also has it as a 1 in the large rubric (185 remedies) "HEAD-PHENOMENA - Falling out hair, alopecia." There are a lot of interesting hair rubrics for Puls, including several with too much hair. Thanks for asking the question, Joy. There's a rubric, too, about hair fal...

Actually, for what it's worth, the biggest motivation for her would also provide useful remedy information -- e.g. cuddling as opposed to ice cream )

Dear Joy. What a lovely piece of work!! Thanks so much for pulling all this together. I was actually just thinking it was time to start addressing the periodic table aspect of this line of remedies, and its relationship to Stage 8, and you have done a great job of addressing these issues to get us s...
