Talking about Stramonium (Was: dosage question)

[Dale Moss]

You've described the Stram. state so eloquently, Fran! I have vivid memories of treating a young man with Stram. many years ago. He was a brilliant but profoundly disturbed person who'd endured a lot of violence in his family. He moved with exceptional grace (advanced training in an esoteric martial art or nature?), was capable of withdrawals that verged on catatonia, and was quite comfortable in the dark. When he told me in excruciating detail how he planned to kill himself, with all sorts of back-up plans if the first failed, I knew there wasn't time to waste.
Fortunately, I thought I saw the remedy clearly (it was early in my career). I think I gave him a 1M, and it profoundly changed him. Unfortunately, I didn't see it as his constitutional at the time, though I'm sure in retrospect it was. When I studied the remedy with Mangialavori, I had the sense of seeing not only the man's past, but also his future. It's not a pretty picture.
Peace,
Dale
