As promised the second part in the differential comparison of Affectation in
Lyc, Hyos and Plat.

HYOSCYAMUS
Rubrics in Caps

As we know the single symptoms of a remedy bring out its individuality.
With Hyos
its central core issue is to do with trust. The rubrics: FEAR BETRAYAL,
FEAR OF BEING SOLD and DELUSIONS OF BEING SOLD, underly why it produces
AFFECTATION. This remedy is very suspicious and when he becomes sick it is
a real dilemma. Firstly he does not want to alert anyone to his sickness
INDIFFERENCE DOES NOT COMPLAIN because if he does they may suggest he goes
to hospital or to the doctor. This is a very big problem for him because
of his suspiciousness and lack of trust so when he is sick he plays it down.
He does not want to admit it to himself or others so he tries to HIDE,
when others ask him "how are you", when he is sick, he will say that he is
well putting on a bold front a pretense an AFFECTATION. He will say he is
well
even though others may observe he is sick WELL SAYS HE IS WHEN VERY SICK.
He will try to keep himself up above the sickness HIGH SPIRITED. His
reasons are that he does not want to admit he is sick. This is his other
fear that his body will let him down
FEAR OF BETRAYAL. He does not want to admit this to himself or others so
he ignores his symptoms when they are pointed out to him SHUNS THE LIGHT.

If his condition gets so bad that he has to see the doctor he now becomes
fearful. What will they do to him will they give him drugs that may cause
side effects FEAR OF INJURY.
He will have to find a doctor whom he can trust. He will be the patient who
will want to know everything about his condition CURIOUS again underlying
this is his SUSPICIOUSNESS. He will say (and many have when booking
homoeopathic appointments), "Have you ever cured anything like this", and
"if you can cure this I will send you lots of patients" INCITING. Again
you can feel he is testing the doctor or practitioner. If he then feels
satisfied that you or the doctor is the person to help him he will become
more open and suddenly will tell everything NAKED DESIRE TO BE. Now the
AFFECTATION reduces.

THis is an outline of Hyos in its sickness by relating rubrics to each
other.

As we see its need for Affectation has a different underlying reason to that
of Lyc and this gives us an ability to differentiate and really understand
the core or King Pin of a remedy.

LISA writes: He will say (and many have when booking
homoeopathic appointments), "Have you ever cured anything like this"

This is an absolutely common "symptom."
Actually, it is nearly ubiquitous.
It is no wonder, if one prescribes on such symptoms, that every case boils
down to "desire for light" or some similarly mis-applied rubric.

IF (big if) we are to obtain any value from your comparisons, PLEASE
REFERENCE what you are writing- since without specific reference which I
could go to my books and look up, there is no credibility in these
comparisons.

Dear Dave,

Yes, of course... desire for light,

Any topic 'could' be suitable for cross-examination.

Unless there is some considerable angst apparent, common and practically
expected (in the U.S., anyhow) questions about the homeopath, homeopathic
practice, clinical anectdotes, etc - just wouldn't seem like the time to
pull out wrench #1 from the Jr. Psychologist's trickbag (why do you
sk) -most of the people who've asked me such questions were in my opinion,
asking because they wanted basic information &/or basic reassurance.

One of the apparent difficulties with this "mind only" "rubrics only"
approach is this sort of totally artificial elevation of an innocent and
non-pathological incident or personality observation into something to base
a case on.

It seems quite a lot like the snap-judgement on superficialities kind of
"remedy-type" identification, where someone will say "oh, he's a Nux, 'cause
he's so impatient & irritable" .. moreover, it still seems uproariously
funny (alternating with irritatingly obtuse) to try to mash so many
un-photonic states of mental seeking into "desire for light."

Reminds me of the guy who treats 60% of his clients with Nat. Mur.

Hi Lisa, Dave, et al,
This question ("Why do you ask") sounds very 'evasive'to me. Gives the
impression that ones answer is based on the opinion of the person who asks
the question, rather than the honest opinion of the person answering.
The question "Have you ever cured anything like this" seems a very normal
one considering that most people are more familiar with allopathic treatment
which seeks to lump everybody into a disease category and prescribe one
medicinal substance for all.
I find the question ("Have you ever cured anything like this?") a useful
opportunity to briefly educate the client as to how homoeopathy treats
people based on their individual expression of a disease rather than by the
common pathological symptoms of a particular disease label.

Truth be told, we have never "cured" anything like that before, (aside from
the fact that I do not think that it is "we" nor the remedy that cures as I
discussed in a previous e-mail, but rather the client who heals
him/herself), since every case that we take is completely different. Yes
there are a few gross similarites, but countless more differences by far, I
would say.

Hmmm..."Fear of betrayal" seems like a 'bit of a leap' to me. My success
with determining which key rubrics to use, is based on whether the client
confirms this 'fear of betrayal' as a theme that runs through an entire
case, and not just by one comment that only I interpret as a 'fear of
betrayal' (What if my interpretation is wrong?). Certainly I would keep his
concern and his responses in mind, but only in relation to the whole case.

I am also very careful in sticking to the language of the client as closely
as possible when I determine my choice of rubrics.
I have to say that this was one of my biggest pitfalls ...to try and
interpret and develop theories as to why others behave as they do....Been
there, done that, got the t-shirt!
Trouble is that by interpreting and theorizing, my own issues and
projections come in to the case.

All that said, I only learned what worked for me based on what didn't work
for me, as illustrated by the above. Experience and time.......I figure as
long as I continue to look back on the results of my decisions, then I can
learn from them and choose differently next time. Kinda like when I give the
first dose of a homeopathic remedy.....

Thanks for expressing your opinion Lisa, it gave me the opportunity to
clarify my own reasoning in the methods I use!

Namaste,
Mary-anne Black
