Dear Joy, Beverly, all,
First I like to state that one aspect is taken out of my explanation, to
start a discussion on.
I don't approve on this, our first goal should be to help Beverly and her
patient, after that we can discuss about the followed method etc.
I don't think people that had no contribution to solve this case, are in the
position to be the first to say how it should be done.
Please say why a suggested remedy can't be correct, compare Materia medica
and case!
Ok,
Lets take a more detailed look:
"Patient said something along the lines of 'wonders how long
they can go on'. Seems to be finding the years of stress and 'swimming
against the tide' overwhelming to the point where their love for a challenge
is being overcome by the daily grind of just putting one foot after the
other to go on"
Is this normal, ? Maybe, but It shows something of the dis-ease.
I tells something about the former state (love for a challenge)
and present state (just putting one foot after the
other to go on)"
What does it say: 'The complaints are fixing me, and I don't like that, but
I try to keep moving, I don't give up'
An observation is no observation until it is confirmed!
"Feeling of uncertainty that no matter what they do things may never be
better than scraping through
financially"
Again the fixed situation and the trying to keep on going (fighting)
element).
"This has caused problems with some remainig members of family of origin who
finding fault and have a
pattern of control into which she refuses to buy any longer"
Again the feeling of being fixed and not willing to accept this.
Here we also see: Sensitive, reprimands, criticism, to
The observation that this a main 'Sycotic' case is confirmed.
You have to be blind anyway not to see this, the other symptoms show it also
very clear:
Asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, cough and cold. Agg from damp, humid
atmosphere (living barometer), Fixed symptoms( hard inflexible, like a lump
of concrete) Inferiority feeling, Hyper reactions. (see Miasmatic diagnosis
by S.K. Banerjea).
Now lets look at an other aspect of the case:
"had to cut off emotional feelings to survive situations"
"Now allowing the validity of their feelings"
"I sense she does not easily feel part of what is going on"
Confusion, identity, as to his
Delusion, far off.
Unreal, everything seems
Dullness, understands questions only after repeating
Synoptic Materia Medica F. Vermeulen on Med: Withdrawal from outer world in
to inner dream world.
(History of being attracted to things/places that are very different to the
sphere in which they live)
And this aspect:
"depressed [slight] in windy weather. Feels it is foreboding. Cannot control
possible consequences [like a raging sea]."
Again: needs to be in control (not limited, fixed) to anticipate: Fear of
Misfortune. Ailments from anticipation.
Sankaran:
Med is a nosode it represents the heart of the sycotic miasm. The main
feeling of the sycotic miasm is:
"I am OK as long as my weakness is covered up. I know my weakness is not
fatal to me, it is not the end. But if it is exposed, I will be criticized,
I will lose a lot, people will take advantage of me and my position will
come down. Therefore, I must do all I can to see that this weakness is not
exposed. I may have to be overactive in the opposite direction as a result"
The fear of being exposed in Med is seen in its fears an anxieties. The
person is claivoant and fears misfortune, always anticipating that something
will happen.
In this state of intellect, this dreamy state he finds that things that he
is familiar with look unfamiliar.
Med is unwilling to take up responsibilities, and has a non-committal
stance, he feels that if he commits and than is unable to fulfil that
commitment, his weakness will be exposed.
Grandgeorge;
Med tries to control time (time is money). These individuals are constantly
projecting in to the future.
Faced with the in instability of the passage of time, Med tries to control
it from downstream, but suddenly has no more control of the present!
Synoptic Materia Medica F. Vermeulen:
Always rushing on and ANTICIPATING.
Everything seems unreal, as if in a dream. Feels FAR OFF. Confusion as to
his identity. Sensation of unbearible inner EMPTINESS. Sensation of being
superfluous or rejected. Delusion he is doomed. All resulting in efforts to
escape.
Notes in my synoptic
The core of Med is emotion and relationship
The Med individual is extreme perceptive, intuitive, and emotional.
The mentioned text was for me really the key, I didn't have a clue yet, but
when I read this almost last sentence, I thought he this could be Med, and
so I checked it with the rest.
So when I see things like; 'Night people', 'very Intuitive' I'm very glad
to have those confirmations.
Don't turn it the other way around please.
I think I gave a more detailed explanation of my way of thinking.
I hope this will help Beverly in understanding her patient.
kind regards,
Piet Guijt

No it doesn't. it just hows her temperamental reaction to the situaton. this

most people who have been misfortunate fear future misfortunes. this is a
symptom if you have someone living a merry life and yet has a foreboding.
Sankaran explains why you have been following the wrong track. We use
mental attributes as symptoms when the situation does NOT call for it. The
origin is then the vital force. Otherwise not.
This is not the patient as far as i see. She is not irresponsible. Luckily,
it doesnt matter, as this kind of analysis is speculative. it's quite easy,
as you have done, to invent almost any kind of analysis. she lives from day
to day, she projects into the future; she cuts off her emotions, she is very
emotional; she has a great sense of emptiness, she feels under a great
weight; everything is far away, she feels boxed in; she is very perceptive,
she is confused and self-perplexed.
The psyche is so plastic we can interpret the same person a thousand
different and contradictory ways. this is the realm of poets and authors,
but not homeopathy.
So far, we have one only definite symptom, asthma aggravated from damp. This
points more to sycosis than to tubercular.
