Murphy Lotus\Venus mercenariaVenus MERCENARIA
(American scallop)
Ven-m. Venus mercenaria. American Scallop. Pelecypoda class, living along the Atlantic Coast of America, France and Southern England. The remedy is prepared from the mother tincture of the mollusc, plus an equal part of a trituration at 1/100 of the shell. Historical dose: All potencies, 5c to 30c.
Venus Mercenaria, the American scallop is a bi-valvular mollusk. The proving after a suggestion by D. M. Foubister, was conducted by Raeside in 1961-62 on nineteen provers, plus seven controls during three terms, one dose morning and evening for fourteen days, using the following potencies: 30c - first term, 12c - second term. 6c - third term. The third term produced most of the symptoms.
Venus Mercenaria in one single dose of 30c or repeated once is a remedy both for attacks of migraine and for complaints based on migraine headaches.
- Allergic, psoric and sycotic types, tending towards a cancerous state following severe self-intoxication.
Moon, Venus.
Venus Mercenaria is above all a remedy with cephalic action, for migraine headaches, accompanied by a host of digestive and urinary manifestations. Migraines of digestive origin. Increased frequency of urination.
The Ven-m. keynotes are: Frontal and occipital headache, predominantly on the right side, pains of a heavy sort, worse early in the morning and especially in the afternoon. Headache accompanied by vertigo, nausea, vomiting. Furred tongue, flatulence, diarrhea. Frequency of urination, especially during the day. Scalp and skin of the face and limbs itchy.
Predominantly right sided. Sometimes there is a pseudo influenza weakness with failing at 10 a.m., extreme chilliness from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sensation of contusion when pressure is applied.
Better from movement. Worse on waking in the morning, especially in the afternoon. Worse from noise.
Dull mood, state of indifference and lack of concentration. Exaggerated irritability from noise and people. Lack of co-ordination of thoughts. Sensation of boredom with fear of crying for no reason. Mania. Schizophrenia. Feels cut off from the world, traveling on a bus bores him. Drunk feeling in the morning.
Allergies. Amenorrhea. Arthritis. Flatulence. Headaches. Mania. Migraines. Schizophrenia.
Abdominal pains around 9 p.m. like menstrual pains. Muco-membranous enterocolitis. Flatulence and rumbling in the morning.
Arthralgia and muscle pain with stiffness in the back and nape of the neck on waking.
Tender around the sternum.
Menses painful, especially at onset, for 2-3 hours. Menstrual pain ameliorated by heat and lying down. Depressed on first day of menstruation. Amenorrhea.
Desire for cold food, thirsty for cold water, ameliorated in the evening. Food tastes metallic.
Frontal, dull headache, behind the eye to the right with nausea, especially in the afternoon. Occipital headache on the right side, also in the afternoon.
Frontal and occipital hemicrania of the right or left side with nausea and feeling as if the head were being held tightly. Headache, aggravated in the afternoon, by exercise, ameliorated by siting quietly in the dark and in the late evening.
Short stabbing pain in the heart.
Persistent pain in the right kidney on waking up. Fleeting pain in the left kidney. Frequency of urination by day. Urine turbid, frothy with a fetid odor. Frequent need to urinate.
Pain and paraesthesia of the limbs. Cramps, heaviness, itching of the arms and legs. These pains are ameliorated by movement. Pains in the hip, knee and ankle joints. Right knee swollen, hot and painful. Muscle pain. Arthritis. Arthrosis.
Soreness of the left lower lip and corner of lips. Blister on the lips. Teeth sensitive to hot and cold, especially on the upper left jaw. Tongue coated, furred. Cold feeling in the mouth and throat.

Sleep disturbed, waking at 2 a.m. Dreams of spiders. Dreams of violence, ending in death. Dreams of death and disease.
Dyspepsia. Stomach ulcer. Nausea after eating with headache and vomiting. Flatulence all day long. Pressing stomach ache with nausea, ameliorated after eating. Heaviness in the epigastrium, feeling of a stone in the stomach, aggravated by menses and at night.
Pain on right side, spreading to the ear, aggravated by swallowing with dryness, chill and swollen glands. Constriction in the pharynx and larynx. Boil on the neck.
Vertigo on rising after sitting for a long time, worse when ever tired, ameliorated by pressure.
(1) Calc. - digestive complaints with acrid-smelling stools, nausea and headache, chilliness.

Re: american scallop
Vermeulen Synoptic 2\Venus mercenariaVenus MERCENARIA
Ven-m.
Venus mercenaria. Mercenaria mercenaria. Quahog.
Edible clam of the North American Atlantic coast, also known as round clam.
The species also occurs on the south coast of England and the French coast.
Both countries have a successful clam industry.
Clams are closely related to oyster, scallop and mussel. Clams are a family of double-valved invertebrates distributed over the seas of the whole world.
The family has around 500 species, is mainly common in tropical waters and stands out because of its sometimes beautifully shaped and coloured shells.
The colour pattern often consists of a combination of the letter V
upside-down. Clams dig themselves into the sea bed. They feed on plankton.
The clam changes its sex in the course of its life; it begins as a male and then becomes female. This unusual form of hermaphroditism enables seed cells to first be produced and then eggs, although some species produce male and female reproductive products the whole year round. The clam deposits these reproductive products in the water on the basis of changes in the water temperature [particularly when it increases]. The clam is a good digger, and first feels the sea bed with its foot to test it. If it is suitable, it anchors itself and pulls its shell behind it under the sand.
"The soft body of the clam is enclosed within two thick shells composed mainly of calcium carbonate. These shells, which can be as large as a human hand, are hinged by a ligamentous joint along the back. There are few differences between the clam and the oyster. Both live and grow in similar natural surroundings, clams growing and propagating well in old oyster beds.
The oyster is, however, more sedentary, attaching itself to a rock or lying on the sand for its whole life. It does not dig in like a clam, as it has not developed a hatchet foot." [Raeside]
Mussels and clams may ingest a poisonous dinoflagellate [red tide] from June to October that produces a toxin not destroyed by cooking. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps, and death can occur as a result of respiratory failure.
"Dr. Poppelbaum in his book A New Zoology described the molluscs as head animals. They have no middle organisation with its metameric repetition, but everything is irregularly packed up and wrapped together like the intestines in the human abdomen, where asymmetry and twist prevail. The mollusc muscles all are smooth like intestinal muscle, and their movements are slow and unconscious. The bivalve, he says, is like a brain and brain case or skull, with the sensory appendages reduced. These animals have no separate head, because as a whole they are head." [Raeside]
Clams are not to be confused with the scallop genus of molluscs. One member of this genus is Pecten jacobaeus, which Clarke has briefly described. The scallop is both the emblem of Spanish pilgrims and a well-known brand of petrol. Julian's description is confusing. As a synonym to Venus mercenaria, he cites the name 'comb of America.' This suggests a scallop, since they are shaped like a comb or cape. The habitat that he then describes, however, is not correct. Pecten jacobaeus is found in the Mediterranean Sea, while the habitat of Venus mercenaria is exactly the same.
Proved by Raeside in 1961-62 on 19 subjects [9 men, 10 women]. Julian's description includes a case [Dictionary of Homoeopathic Materia Medica, p.
332-333].

The two particular symptoms I have found occurring with a little more frequency are: sensitive to smells, all smells, and emotion felt in the right hypochondrium." [Hui Bon Hoa, BHJ 1965 nr. 1]

Re: american scallop
Since I haven't been able to post to this group until today, I didn't think my reply would actually get through. Now I have to get serious and ask where I can find Julian's MM? I have just searched around and don't find any reference. Thanks,
Bev (who doesn't really like oysters, scallops or mussels)
His Materia medica is excellent and the scallops are yummy, so I would add
both the schedule)
