Lac Lupaninum
Melissa Assilem made and proved Wolf's Milk, and her book on the proving (a
very meticulous and welldone one, according to Sherr standards!) should be
out in late Summer/early Fall. Here is the message I posted from Melissa:
/* "Assilem Proving of Wolf's Milk" */
Thank you for your questions about the proving. It was December 1995 when I
started the proving of Lac lupaninum (Wolf's milk). We had 22 provers
involved, four of them in a meditation or dream proving and the rest in a
longterm Hahnemannian proving, some of which lasted almost a year.
I decided to do both as an experiment and found the meditation/dream
proving brought out only the initial symptoms.
It has been hard work, as any proving is, and especially hard when one is
conducting it on one's own. It has been very timeconsuming because taken
time to digest and reflect on this remedy. But I wouldn't trade it for
anything, as we have found a very important remedy.
One of my big challenges was the rubrics new ones have had to be created,
especially around the issue of women's sexuality. I found rubrics like
nymphomania to be outdated, and in no way how the women provers expressed
themselves. Its a remedy about awakening sensuality on many
levels, and for me the remedy has become an amazing metaphor for "the wild
side."
The proving book, I hope, will be out in August, and I will be presenting
the remedy with cases at the Society of Homoeopath's conference in
September, and at the NCH's first regionallysponsored conference in Phoenix
in October 97.

LAC LUPA CASE 1
There is no presenting complaint as such it's the ongoing journey. In the
past she has responded well to Ginseng, Lachesis, Pulsatilla, Stramonium,
and Hyoscyamus. (The first 3 of these remedies are also ones I have
responded well to in fact we both had Ignatia before and sometime after
Lac Lupa). I will quote at length in her words:
"I find dogs disgusting, I don't like their habits. It's OK if they don't
act like dogs, e.g. barking, growling, bothering with other dogs."
(Observation: very agitated at having to look after parents' dog.)
"I don't want dogs in my house or in my garden.'
"I think it's awful that people have dogs on leads. It shouldn't be
allowed to happen we've produced these pets for domesticated animals, so
they're not real anymore."
"I've always been wary of cats, I don't want them to come near me and I
hate it when they look at me. Cats shouldn't be sitting in people's living
rooms. I'm OK with birds because they're wild.'
'I don't think people should tame things.'
"No one is going to tell me what I want to do, and yet I don't do what I
want."
"The real me is inside and doesn't get out. I'm more often nice and
civilized."
"The real me would say what I feel from myself, and yet I always care what
people think. I'd really like not to. I'd like to be rude, not to be nice.'
"My self esteem is not good. I'm not doing it well enough. People think
I'm good at my job I don't know why. I'm trying to fit myself into a
structure I don't like.'
'It feels like I only have one chance. A part of me just wants to roam
the, hills and dig the garden." "If people see me they'll think I'm
horrible."
"I don't know anything.'
"I feel so horrible that loathsome mess. I can't bear people to see me.
I avoid walking through the town because of it.'
"I feel fat. I've got more facial hair. I feel unattractive. My breasts
feel huge. I don't like them."
"My breasts were swollen and painful before my period, jarring with stairs,
tender; I've never had that before. I worry about breast cancer."
"I feel hormonally. I've always been hairy, even more so
now. "Extremely hairy legs."
"I feel so unattractive to men. I can't go out because I'm so horrible."
FOOD: "I don't know how to look after myself. I don't organize it. Every
day I have to think, 'Have I eaten? Have I rested?' I feel if I don't eat. Food makes me feel ill.'
"Mars keeps coming up for me this year.'
"Until I went to school I was a big boss and very, very selfwilled. One
day I was told to stand in the comer.
I was mortified. They tamed me. Mum says I was wild when I was little. I
wasn't horrible, I was just myself"
"I've had nothing to do with men for a year. Now I feel on the edge of
possibility, of sexual energy.' 'It's to do with coming up front with who I
am and what I'm doing. It's me presenting myself to the world for the
first time."
"I don't know who I am. I want to do it my way. I want to be me. To say
this is how I feel.' Throat: "My throat feels tight" (rubs throat). 'A lot
of catarrh there when I wake in the morning." want to roam the hills.'
"don't know why I live in a house." feel too restrained to do that."
Remedy: Lac Lupa 30 split dose.
May/June 96 FOLLOWUP
"I went for a walk and saw more dogs than I've ever seen. I was raging. I
hated the dogs, but then I realized it was the owners I hated. How could
they keep a wild animal on a lead? How could they enclose that roaming
free spirit? I could flatten the owners. I hated everybody in the world
for being civilized and living in square houses. We are great spirits and
we all drive the same cars. I got annoyed about anyone who ever squashed
me or told me what to do."
"I want to shock, to be rebellious. I want my true nature back."
"I don't like civilization anymore. I don't want to be civilized. I want
to do my hair in dreads, wear a holey tshirt to work and not care what
people think."
"I talked for hours with a friend about a time in my life when I was told
what to do. They suppressed my spirit. I feel very strongly now no one
will ever tell me how to be again. I was so angry."
PMS > than for months, previously had been very irritable.
'I found my relationship to children and babies has changed. I no longer
feel uncomfortable with them. This is very marked.'
"A lot less selfconscious. Less dislike of self."
"I feel strong, which I didn't, and I trust more. I want to express myself
as I am and let it all out.' "Amazing feelings of energy, sexual energy
running up and down my body. I feel better about my body. I don't feel as
horrible. I'm wearing different clothes. I'm doing more exercise and I
feel better."
"A week after the remedy I was kissed by 3 different men! Previously it had
been over a year and I'd stopped even thinking about the possibility.
Sexual feelings which had been long dormant waking up. Hooray!' "I've now
started a relationship with someone. I'm taking it easy, but it feels
good. I think it's all because of that remedy. .'
Practitioner/prover's words:
I wonder whether others have been using similar language at all, wild/tame,
civilized/free? I myself now find it difficult/upsetting to be around
domesticated animals. This is new for me since Lac Lupa and has not
diminished with time, but if anything increased. I guess my 'trapped free
spirit inside is still looking for a way out ...

July, 1997 FOLLOWUP
*Only took the remedy two weeks ago. I'm not eating at night now. I get
full very quickly when I eat.
*After taking the remedy I got very depressed. I cried a good deal and
released stuff. There is so much creative energy in me I could have 5
lifetimes. I can be hard to handle. It's like I'm on fire. I have so
much to do.
*I would like a companion, an independent mature person who is bright and
funny. I'm very frisky. Even drinking water is erotic.
*My fear is that I couldn't be a person who could be satisfied.
*I'm waking my body up. I have such a wonderful relationship with myself.
I want to release my defensiveness. It comes from always feeling unsafe.
*I went to the vegetable market and thought I would have an orgasm from all
the beautiful fruits and vegetables.
AUGUST 19, 1997 FOLLOWUP
*Don't need Paxol anymore. I have no interest in taking it.
*Have not overeaten in 10 weeks. Lost 20 pounds.
*Movements is my spiritual connection. I'm reading about Bruce Lee's
Philosophy (she brought the book, The Warrior Within).
*Now I'm grateful that I have passion and I know what I feel. I'm taking
pleasure in having these feelings. I cry easily. I hate anyone who tries
to feel my passion. It's hard to have so much passion in a society whose
morphology does not accept it.
*I'm very perceptive. I want my gracefulness to be expressed. If you are
really doing things in the world there should be people who don't like you.
*But I am also getting more comfortable in not acting.
*Yin/yang, love/hate, depressed/happy, in/out, all just part of the same
thing.
* I want a family of some sort. A mature man with a grown family, and
I could be an active grandmother. It's safe to be sexual if you own your
own energy. The fragmentation of not belongingnot familyit's so sad for
me. I did so much clearing outgave so much stuff awayremembering my sweet
friendships. Very healing. When Bill (her cat) left, it changed the shape
of my heart. I feel connected now, feeding my body well with good, healthy
food and exercise. Without exercise, I do poorly like a dog without it's
walks.
*I've been listening to myself a lot. I feel freerer. I guess maybe the
remedy is working." (She smiles and shows me her big, beautiful,
glistening teeth).
*Shiva Male Godmale trinity (BrahmaVishnuShiva) was in a state of
actualization because he is in bodily contact with his own universal
energy, Shakti, the Goddess, the feminine active principle, the efficient
and material cause of the universe, the Maya that evolves the
differentiated elements and beings. Sometimes called Lord of the Dance,
Lord who is half woman, He who belongs to the Triple Goddess, Howler!
