Hi,
Does anyone have any cases or material on Lac Loxodonta africana?
I have a few paragraphs in Murphy's Nature's MM, and Radar has 229 rubrics, but nothing in EH and I don't have Nancy Herrick's book with the remedy, so any information would be great.
Thanks so much,
Susan

Lac loxodonta africana
Milk of the elephant
excerpt from Nancy Herrick's book:*/
/*
Analysis of the proving
I found myself very surprised initially at the violent images that were
coming out of the elephant proving. This was not at all what I had
expected (although every proving has been full of the unexpected). It
was only after I understood the current conditions in which the elephant
lives that I understood how accurate the themes of HOMELESSNESS,
BRUTALITY, VIOLENCE, MURDER and NOT ENOUGH FOOD have proved to be. Of
course this is not the state of a healthy, wild elephant. The more
natural state is also in the proving, with a lot of interest in AIR,
WATER, FOOD, FEEDING OTHERS and a feeling of POSITIVE EMOTIONS and
TIMELESSNESS. THEORIZING ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE was another theme and seems
to indicate a quality of intellectual awareness in elephants.
It may be that in the near future, the only elephants to be found will
be in zoos and formal "wild" parks, where people pay to ride through and
observe animal behavior. As this possibility comes closer to reality,
more and more humans will take on elephant energy (thus the theme,
PEOPLE AS ANIMALS) and will need the remedy Lac loxodonta africana.
The substance
A calf was born to an 18 - year-old African elephant, Donna, at the
Oakland Zoo in California in the spring of 1996. Unfortunately, the calf
had an untreatable and severe deformity and had to be destroyed. At the
same time, another African elephant had a calf but was completely
uninterested in nursing her, and she was being hand-fed by the zoo
keepers. Suddenly many people in different fields saw an opportunity to
study, analyze and use Donna's breast milk. The biggest problem was
inobtaining it. As a newspaper article said, "So, how do you breast-pump
an 8,000-pound elephant?" The answer appeared to be, "Carefully."
First, Donna was isolated and then two of her legs were chained to
fence posts. A trainer then crawled underneath her and put the suction
cups on her nipples. The cups were subsequently attached to an electric
breast pump. Donna appeared to take it all with a great deal of
equanimity. The trainer said her own state of mind under the four-ton
creature was not so relaxed, but she was so grateful to be able to get
the milk for the new calf, it was worth it.
Meanwhile, Dave Penny, our wonderful, local, homeopathic veterinarian
saw the golden opportunity to get the milk for a proving.
He jumped in his car in the middle of a workday, drove to the zoo, and
then zoomed to the Hahnemann Clinic Pharmacy with the tiny sample still
warm and fresh.
Michael Quinn immediately triturated itand then potentized it to a 30C
for the proving. This was real teamwork.
Donna, herself is a basically healthy animal with some arthritis and a
slight stiffness in her movements. She was wild and captured in Africa.
She tends to be aggressive with other cows and is a dominant cow but
very good with people. The proving of her milk reveals the deep inner
story of the experience of the African elephant in the modern world.

Hi Lynn,
Thank you so much!
I am trying to get a deeper understanding of this remedy and that is so very helpful.
I read in an article about a mother elephant that died soon after a calf was born and the calf eventually died, as the rest of the herd did not attempt to nurse it. It surprised me as they seem to be very nurturing animals. Then I read this and wondered if they just don't nurse each other's offspring. I'm very interested in the whole nurture and lack of nurture in this remedy particularly and also the other lacs.
Thanks again,
Susan
