5. CARASSLUS AURATUS
Goldfish [caras]
Made from an ordinary little goldfish from a pet sop, a member of the carp family. The fish was gradually anaesthetised and killed by having alcohol poured into its bowl. The remedy was made from the water after 14 days.
Goldfish, as a remedy has great sensitivity on all levels. For example, psychically with clairvoyance and telepathy, physically with allergies and sensitivity to pollution, radiation, weather, sound etc. It has a great affinity for the brow and throat chakras and experience has shown it is beneficial in cases of brain tumour or strokes. There is often a sense of isolation and imprisonment with this remedy: someone trapped in their own home for example. It also works well on the fluid balance of the body and has an affinity with the eyes.
This remedy was first published in Prometheus Unbound Number 9, December 1998.
All provers experienced feeling disconnected: out of body or 'spaced out'. Sleepiness: tiredness: heavy headedness. Poor concentration. Restlessness with sense of disconnection. Low energy state: poor assimilation of nutrients: easy loss of fluids through frequent urination or diarrhoea. Muscle fatigue and lack of development physically. Has a sense of energy 'leaking away'. Extreme sensitivity to pollutants: impurities in the air and water: < radioactivity (solar, X-ray or from power stations). Sensitive to sounds and vibrations: to the seasonal changes and to the Moon's phases. Hypersensitive to atmospheres (environmental and social).
Result of sensitivities is extreme of either hyper - or hypo-activity.
Can be completely torpid. City dwellers who suffer from the pollution of their surroundings and are susceptible to diseases caused by toxic build-up: asthmatic breathing: Hay Fever: cancer: AIDS: etc.
Musculo-skeletal problems due to extraordinary elasticity of joints and ligaments. Useful support remedy for those undergoing physiotherapy sessions. Left side of the body most affected by sensations due to disordered central nervous system. Stroke: esp. Worse left side (and particularly where there is blindness as a result).
Numbness of the left side: feels as if anaesthetised: feels as if the left side is both numb and nauseated. No wish to move the left side.
Left side feels larger than the right and as if in a different space.
Left and right sides out of proportion. Sense of being physically divided. Immobility and paralysis esp. where there is fear as well - M.S. Only aware of the upper half of the body. Sensation of swaying from side to side. (This is a common but underestimated symptom of fish remedies.) Tickling and tingling in the joints of the right side of the body. Physical agitation and restlessness esp. if alternated with torpor. CNS profoundly disturbed. Clumsy. Can relieve the suffering of Alzheimer's by helping to engender more restfulness.
Restores water balances in the body: excessive thirst for water esp. in those who feel the lack of loving in their lives. Encourages oxygenation of blood. Poor circulation: takes a long time to get warmed up once cold or on getting up in the AM Illnesses at the end of life: kidney failure: oedema: stones. Encourages the dispersal of kidney, gall and salivary gland calculus. Viral infections: frequent and that leave a legacy of weakness. HIV+ and AIDS esp. where there is much fear. Not any distress over physical complaints but fear of psychic or spiritual implications of disease. Mental and emotional: Strong sense of confinement or feeling trapped. This is either actual or imagined and on any level: mental emotional or physical and whether chosen consciously or unconsciously. For those who lead a confined existence either mentally or physically and who desire to escape but who, nevertheless, are accepting of their situation either through fatalism or through an inability to see how they can help themselves.
Their imprisonment may be actual from claustrophobia: or it may be psychological from domination by others - parents or an institution.
For those who order their lives with strict rules and standards and thus miss out on free self expression. For those who starved are of love and companionship and who have therefore lost the perspective on what is really important in their lives. 'Innocent victims' - those children who are born with pathology or an early susceptibility to it: cancer: AIDS: leukaemia: deformities: cerebral palsy. Children born with apparently daunting 'Karma' who inwardly seem to suffer less than those around them: parents and carers. They attract loving care but cause grief (and guilt) in those who care for them: as if they are offering others a karmic 'lesson'. Loneliness - from fear of not knowing what is going to happen: from lack of confidence: from inhibitions laid down long before in childhood. People who fear the competitive world: they feel their talents would not stand comparison with that of others, more worldly. Sensitive and intuitive but shun the limelight. As a result of their hiding away they feel empty and a loss of identity. For those who are rootless yet adaptable, fitting in with who or whatever surrounds them in order to preserve anonymity.
For those who have been made homeless: thrown out by parents: who have 'no place in the world' esp. if they find themselves in an environment that is uncongenial to them. 'Fish out of water'. Grief and sadness esp. about things left unsaid or undone. All those who made up the remedy experienced sadness and tearfulness. There is also deeply held anger and resentment at those who made them suffer. Homesickness.
Children of divorced parents who are forced to divide their loyalties and living accommodation. Victims of mental, emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Refugees from war or famine. Telepathic: highly sensitised and sensitive people: very 'in tune' with nature: acutely aware and perceptive: strongly intuitive and full of insight. Often hard to 'pin down', being rather mercurial. Yet unable to avoid putting themselves into positions where they will suffer. Unable to foresee pitfalls. Indecisive. Nave: sees good in everybody and everything - 'an innocent abroad'. Easily fall into unsuitable and unstable relationships: become over-generous sexually and fall foul of STD and other conditions of difficult relationships such as loss of identity: sense of separation: dependency. Fear of change. Fear of rejecting family values. Crisis of faith: feels trapped within the confines of the accepted family faith but unable to see how to adopt an alternative. Fear of looking into the 'abyss'. (Chalice Well is for those who either choose to look into the 'abyss' or who do so through force of circumstance: it follows Goldfish well.) Fear of death.
Pressing pain in both temples. Numbness & fullness at top of head: as if it would lift off. Dizziness. Itching of scalp worse bed. Brain tumours: benign or malignant. Unable to hold head up.
Very itchy and watery: left eye is inflamed worse lower lid. Intense pain in the left which lasts several days: deep pain which penetrated right through from eye to occiput. Blepharitis. Astigmatism. Divergent strabismus. Cataract. Soreness. Sticky discharge from the eyes.
Severe pain in left ear.
Tingling in both nostrils. Hay Fever.
FACE - Itching. Scaley and dry on forehead. Paralysis of face.
Burning in the mouth. (Many provers experienced this symptom as soon as they put the remedy in the mouth.)
Constricted sensation: membranous mucous which rises from throat to mouth. Irritation.
Frequent urge to pass water: enuresis. Or the opposite: easy retention of urine. Neck and back: Tension in neck and shoulders. Left side: stiff. Sharp pain which shoots through to the front of the body from the left scapula - like a needle. Lower back ache.
MALE - Prostatitis. Infertility (with a possible connection with radiation).
FEMALE - Amenorrhoea: from grief: after childbirth: in inhibited women: in those who have a mortal dread of childbearing. Infertility: tendency to miscarry. Useful in pregnancy for those women who feel 'confined' by their state and separated from their true selves with hypersensitivity. Engorged breasts. Sexual frigidity. Promiscuity due to misplaced wish to be generous. Uterine and cervical cancer.
Sycotic asthma with thick mucous in the throat: breathes by gaping and gasping. Feel that they are drowning in their own mucous. Choking and suffocation: shallow breathing: uses shoulder muscles to get breath in but then finds it hard to get breath out. If they can deep breathe they feel better and more peaceful.
Left arm: pain in shoulder with stiffness and aching of joints in the hand. Hands tend to shake. Numbness of fingers. Reynaud's Syndrome.
Legs: cold in bed: restless leg syndrome - 'don't know where to put them'. Paralysis of legs with numbness and coldness. (Consider when Causticum fails.) Red swollen joints: cracking: gout in left foot.
SKIN - Psoriasis. Scaly eruptions with flakes (leprotic). Dryness.
Fungal infections. Radiation burns. Shingles.

Subject: Re: [Minutus] rubric for renal failure
May I ask what the indications are for Carassius auratus? I have very little information on that remedy and nothing that suggests its use in kidney failure.
Peace,
Dale
