increased strength rubric

[Carol Orr]

I was thinking about my mother's alzheimer because of the other thread and
remembered that she had this incredible strength when she got alzheimers...i
don't know if the word is isometric to describe what she did..but if you
wanted to move her and she didn't want to move..she was impossible to move.
She held onto something inside herself?? and wouldn't budge an inch. Once when
everyone was out of town and she lived at my son's house...i had to call
police to help me get her out of the car(she did not want to live at the son's
house..she wanted to live with me)and me and the policeman together could not
move her AT ALL. Finally, she relented and then it was easy. A
stubbornness...yes...but an incredible strength which she has shown in the
last 15 years and she still has at 88. What do they call that..complete
resistance. Even now...she has that resistance..like if i try to move her arms
around...and we'll have like an arm wrestle and she will have this smile on
her face with a look of jovial triumph.

So what remedies have unusual strength, i beg and pray someone will tell me.

I think Agaricus and Stramonium have this too -- and they certainly are listed, with a few others, as having a sensation of strength. Of course, her ability to direct her energy in this way may be her healthiest aspect. Is such strength, used in such a way, actually pathological?

Re: increased strength, in Murphy's repertory there is a rubric in the MIND section: INSANITY, strength increased: agar., bell., canth., cori-r., hyos., op., plb., stram., TARENT.
