PLUTONIUM (long)

Hi Karen,
Here's some material I saved from the past. A fascinating remedy, and one
that apparently requires some caution.

Dear Rochelle ~
In her article, Phyl makes a reference to Jeremy Sherr this leads me to
belief that the information was in regards to Plutonium Nitricum as this is
the substance proved by Jeremy. I have been told (can't confirm the source)
that Dynamis school will be uploading some provings so that they might be
downloaded. So far nothing has made its way to the site.
Regards,
Manjula

Sept. 97.
'It¹s difficult to imagine anything more destructive and syphilitic than the
bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. To do this we had to mine Uranium from
deep within the earth¹s crust - something that may have been better off
being left buried, but, like Columbus, in our search for Paradise, light
and heaven, we not only have to explore the heights of space, hydrogen and
helium, but also the deep hellish bowels of the earth.
We have genetic and DNA experimentation, and indeed the Plut. proving
produced dreams of mutated beings, half animal and half human, along with
the now-familiar theme of destruction and broken glass. If we look around at
this so called civilised Western Society, we see constantly the striving to
bring us back to Eden - the outer clean, white, bright, antiseptic society,
from our mercury-filled teeth to our very core. If it¹s rotten it has no
place in our lives. Cut it out allopathically and get rid of it at all
costs, rather than transform it.
So, finally, our Plutonium case. (This was detailed on a handout which I
don't feel is appropriate to post here). I think the case speaks for itself
- we see the now familiar themes of tremendous unstoppable energy, abuse,
blackness, black holes, tunnels, and a definite worsening of sx. throughout
pregnancy, similar to Lyss. Here, the feeling was particularly black, and
the words our patient uses give us a sense of the enormity of the thing she
felt - fragmented, huge, enormous, awesome, violent, manic, mad, abandoned,
isolated and lost, with much heat and sensations of boiling, searing anger
rising up like a mushroom cloud -the opposite polarity being complete
withdrawal, as a vegetable. Nothing grows after the holocaust. & you can see
the desolation after the bomb has dropped. (I gave the patient in question
Plutonium 12, 1 dose. I week later she rang to say her partner had
mysteriously gone off the road in his car. He escaped with serious cuts &
bruises. The police were baffled - nothing wrong with him or the car, and
they were amazed he survived as the car was totally mangled. Patient has
kept well). And yet, personally speaking, some two and a half years after
the proving, there is a sense of protection - perhaps Pluto¹s not so bad
after all.
We seem to get situations where that person could have been totally
annihilated in the most violent manner, and yet they seem to walk out of it
relatively unscathed. So, perhaps there is a rather benign aspect to this
rather fearsome remedy, as long as you allow the glass to break, but I¹m
still finding out about it, and still mending windows!
Without jumping on the Princess Diana bandwagon, I think it¹s worth
mentioning here, if only because the accident itself was, I feel, very
Plutonium in its energy. She seemed to represent and seemed to have attained
much of what this miasm aspires to - beauty, truth, purity, and winning
through despite much suffering, and we have this mother aspect.. Her
pathology, or suffering, appeared to be caused by being driven into a corner
by the press and royal family, or, in other words, surrounded by enemies.
The reaction was to fight for causes, for the underdog and for victims of
abuse in general - of war mines, AIDS, and so on. The violent manner in
which her life ended was typically syphilitic. The astrologers amongst you
might be struck by the strong Pluto influence in her chart at present, and
that the fact that she died in a tunnel, below ground, was very significant
and reminiscent of Pluto and the Hadean underworld. Its also worth noting
that the reason they had such difficulty in cutting free the victims was the
fact that the car was reinforced against attack and that the glass, which
normally under Pluto, shatters so readily, was also reinforced, and couldn¹t
be broken.

Dear List
I think this is the final one (unless any more info. mysteriously appears!).
What follows is a precis of a sort of 'Pluto Diary' I kept for a while.
Looking back, there seems to be a periodicity of about 3 months. As I
write, the central heating and water system is being repaired (for the
fourth time). I estimate that since the proving began I've had about 30
broken windows around the house. I'm just resigned to it now, and have an
account with the local glazier!
Any more info. - you'll have pester Jeremy to get the proving published!. I
do know that my experiences were fairly typical of the group as a whole,
although for most of them the proving has now stopped.
Here's the diary:
OK - I took part in the Pluto. proving, but as a supervisor & co-ordinator -
didn¹t take remedy myself, but ended up on top of one of the Œpyramids¹ - so
all energy was directed to myself and the other co-ordinator. The rest is
history, and probably well-known - destruction, broken stuff, incredibly
near-misses - how are we still alive? The same happenings that I wrote
about in the Journal have kept on happening, less and less, but with a
periodicity of every three months or so. 2 years and 3 months down the line
I still had vague feeling of the Œbig black demonic steamroller¹ - what to
do? No antidote and BIG half-life! If you willingly accept the energy of
Plut. (or whatever substance) into your life/consciousness, but don¹t
physically take it, what potency have you had? It¹s unfathomable, no one
knows, but my guess is that it¹s quite high, transcending all notions of
time or space. It reaches into the darkest recesses of the archetypal
unconscious, bringing into reality that which we thought we¹d done away
with. As time has marched on I¹ve sort of made a friend of Hades and all
that goes with him, and now we have quite an amicable tacit relationship,
tinged with the odd outburst of humour. But I couldn¹t afford to keep
having things break all over the place.......So....I decided to take the
lowest potency of Plut. I could get, in the hope that somehow it would
Œsolidify¹ or Œconsolidate¹ or Œbring down to earth¹ some of the stuff that
was happening that seemed out of my control. I order it from the pharmacy,
and Pluto. arrives wrapped in Baco Foil - now what the hell is that supposed
to do??!!
12.4.97 Took Pluto 12 1 dose this afternoon. 5 mins later Jon (my 6
year old son) tried to kick in car windows/door in a temper (SRP for him) -
very reminiscent of Jeremy¹s Plut case. (Jeremy had a Plut. case where the
woman had a big anger - she kicked in the car windscreen in a fury!) Have
just got house straight, after a seeming eternity of chaos. Peter (13 yr
old son) decided he wanted his bedroom decorated - he cleared room out & put
all his stuff in mine and Joanna's (11 yr old daughter) bedroom -chaos
again, as no time to decorate for another week at least. On the same day
Pluto.12 arrived in the mail, a friend who had been to Ireland gave me a
piece of Connemara granite - she didn¹t know why she got it, and walked back
to shop one and half miles on impulse. It¹s called the ŒWorry Stone¹ and in
typical Irish tells you when and when not to worry, all about death, heaven
and hell. (Granite - a remedy used for Chernobyl kids) Computer printer
switches itself on and off for no reason. I put Pluto 12 on fireplace, next
to my bottle of Berlin Wall. My wall adjoins the new neighbour. As I¹m
quietly contemplating the bottle one night, lightbulb in nearby lamp
explodes. Ah well, no big deal. New neighbour decides to demolish old
concrete coal bunker next to my house. I suggest he burns his rubbish in it
first to save a trip to dump. Result? Tons of old dead wood ignites like a
bomb, makes coal bunker red hot, it explodes sending showers of broken
concrete over my conservatory roof. Fire gets dangerously hot, we dampen it
down with hosepipes all evening as it is in danger of setting fire to my
house and hedge. Both think it¹s hilarious, as both could do with insurance
money. Never mind!
New neighbour (the house that adjoins my fireplace) arrives on doorstep
tonight - he¹s been in hospital for 2 days after being mown down by a taxi
whilst walking home from nearby nightclub. Lucky to be alive. Injured
shoulder (previously broken in another accident) which has mystified
hospital staff, despite CT scan, complains of terrible burning pains &
shock.
I¹m not even going to attempt to analyse this lot at this stage. All I can
say is that these events that seem to link up Pluto, Granite,
BerlinWall/Concrete only appear to be synchronistic because the knowledge
of these things has in one way or other entered my consciousness, and I can
therefore make the connections, as I¹m sure anyone can. But what do we do
with them when we¹re in the middle of the fall-out?
30.4.97: Mr Concrete-Coal-Bunker -who-was-Mown-Down-by-A-Taxi next door has
now started knocking down his fireplace, which adjoins mine. I fear he soon
be in my practice room, snuggling up to my Plut 12 and Berlin Wall on the
fireplace. Shall I move it before he starts to tunnel?
July 97: Getting immersed in Plutonium again as writing talk for Society
Conference. Borrowed neighbour¹s car and window smashed into a million
pieces as I shut the door. 20.8.97: As I was talking to R. on the phone
about Pluto. the neighbour¹s kid smashed window back of house. 27.8.97:
Had a new patient today who appears to be Plut. In the army, he used to
watch nucelar explosions, and had a habit of throwing the TV through the
window in a temper. 2 hours after he left Peter & Jon broke a 6ft square
plate glass window in conservatory - with a small apple, of all things!
29.8.97: Large glass jar & bottle mysteriously crash from a high shelf in
Jo¹s room and smash cleanly. 30.8.97: I get splinters of glass in foot in
bathroom where to my knowledge there is no broken glass.
Finally, a friend of mine came to visit early summer 98. We were in my
practice room one evening talking about the Plutonium proving, when in the
room above us we heard.....yep! The sound of breaking glass. My son had
somehow knocked a picture off the wall in his sleep!

hsg Plutonium nitricum
(snip) Plutonium nitricum.
In Greek mythology, Pluto, or Pluton [also known as Hades], was a god
both of death and of fertility or abundance. He was the god who protected
the space under the earth, from where he supplied the crops with food. Hence
he was considered to be the god of the underworld and identified with Hades.
The poets called him Aidoneus, the invisible, and due to this, not only his
person but his kingdom were considered to be veiled in secret darkness.
When Kronos was deposed as the ruler of the universe his three sons
divided the world among themselves. Zeus got the upperworld, Poseidon the
oceans and Hades the underworld, the realm of the spirits. Together with
Persephone, whom he abducted from the upperworld, Hades ruled the
underworld. The entrance to his kingdom was guarded by a multiheaded dog,
Cerberus, the hellhound. The god Hermes [Mercurius] led the departed souls
to the underworld, where they were across the river Styx by the ferryman
Charon. The deceased needed to have received a coin from their relatives as
a fee to be ferried across the river. Only those that had been buried or
cremated were granted the passage to the kingdom of Hades. The judges of the
dead then decided whether a soul would go to the Elysian Fields, for the
virtuous; or to Tartarus, a place of punishment; or to the Asphodel Meadows,
for those neither virtuous nor evil. Those that had not been buried were not
allowed in and could never find rest anywhere.
At the same time Hades was ruler over all the resources that were to be
found within the depths of the earth. For this reason he was compared with
Plutus by the Romans [from Gr. ploutos = richness]. Plutus was seen as the
son of Demeter, since abundant grain supplies were regarded as a token of
wealth. The Romans also called him Dis Pater [from L. dives, 'rich'].
Consecrated to Hades were the narcissus [messenger of spring] and the
cypress [a coniferous tree frequently planted in churchyards]. Due to his
inexorable nature he was regarded by the Greeks as somewhat horrifying.
Myths and temples were rarely dedicated to him. However, some offerings were
made: black sheep which were slaughtered with their heads facing the ground,
whereby those making the offerings would turn their faces away. Just as
little of the god who was so feared was portrayed in art. In the few
representations that can be found of Hades, he is protrayed with a hard
facial expression, closed lips and wild hanging hair.
Astronomically Pluto is the ninth planet from the Sun. It is the
smallest and most remote planet known in the solar system. The planet was
just discovered as recently as 1930. It revolves around the Sun once every
248.4 years. Computer simulations have revealed that Pluto's orbit is not
completely predictable, and therefore chaotic. In 1978 it was discovered
that the planet has a grey satellite. This was named 'Charon' after the
ferryman from Greek mythology.
The name of the element Plutonium is derived from the planet Pluto. It
is a radioactive chemical element, the fifth member of the actinide series
of the periodic table. Of the fourteen actinides, three can be found in
nature: thorium, protactinium en uranium, though trace quantities of natural
plutonium have been found in uranium ores. The eleven that follow, with
atomic numbers higher than 92, are all made artificially by bombarding
atomic nuceli. Perhaps they have in nature beforee, but they have
disappeared due to their being short-lived. Like the Greek divinity they
belong to the secret realm of the spitits. All these elements are
radioactive.
"Plutonium is a metal that is silvery in appearance but becomes
yellowish when exposed to air. It exists in six structural forms, or
allotropes, which vary according to temperature. Large pieces of the metal
are warm to the touch owing to the release of energy from alpha-particle
decay. Plutonium forms binary compounds with oxygen, as well as intermediate
oxides of variable composition. It also forms halides, oxyhalides, and
compounds with carbon, nitrogen, silicon, and sulfur. It forms alloys with
beryllium, lead, uranium, chromium, iron, nickel, and manganese. It is the
most important of the transuranium elements owing to its successful use as
an explosive in nuclear weapons and the key position it holds in the
development of the industrial use of nuclear power, as in mining and
oil-drilling projects. Nuclear reactors, particularly in France and the USSR
but not in the United States, create electrical power using [239]Pu as fuel.
Various isotopes of plutonium are starting materials in the synthesis of
other transuranium elements and the manufacture of radioactive isotopes for
medical research and industrial purposes. The isotope [238]Pu powers such
sophisticated devices as batteries in implanted heart pacemakers." [Grolier]
Plutonium is a highly dangerous radiological poison. It is specifically
absorbed by bone marrow in humans and emits alpha particles at a high rate.
A reflection of its dangerous nature is its application as atomic bombs and
nuclear weapons.
In astrology Pluto represents all those aspects of mythology and
physics. The central themes are the need of power, transcendence and the
surfacing of suppressed and unconscious contents. Possible expressions of
these are: heavy emotional outburst, power complexes, self-destruction yet
also the power behind metamorphosis; urge towards everlasting renascence.
Dying and being born anew.
Proved by Ritzer & Eberle in 1995 on 11 persons [all aware of what was
being tested]. Drug picture also based on "the more than 70 cases where we
prescribed Plutonium."
COMPARE
Androctonos. Tarentula. Medorrhinum. Hydrogenium. Aurum. Carcinosinum.
Stramonium.
Comparisons
.. Radioactivity.
. Granitum: For the proving of Granitum Nuala Eising used Connemara
Granite. This granite has one of the highest levels of radioactivity of the
granites found in Britain and Ireland. There are some interesting
similarities with Plutonium: Granitum provers observed "no difficulty in
being blunt or rude; they felt no care for the hurt they might be inflicting
on others." In some Plutonium provers aggressive impulses came up. A
striking resemblance was demonstrated in the back symptoms. Folias
experienced an extremely painful lower backache. His back went out
completely. He was forced to walk bent over, just like a Plutonium prover,
who couldn't walk upright and was compelled "to crawl on all fours." With
Granitum there was amelioration by a hot shower, whereas in Plutonium an
amelioration by warmth and sitting in the sun was observed. In both remedies
a nocturnal aggravation was noted.
Characteristics.
REGION
MIND. Head. Abdomen; rectum. Back; sacral region.
LEADING SYMPTOMS
M Obligation.
"Cannot live as she likes, feeling of too much obligation. Feeling
of being externally forced to keep on going and to do all kinds of things."
M Fastidious.
URGE TO PUT THINGS IN ORDER. [Observed by 5 provers]
M Feeling of decay, disintegration into different identities.
"The central idea of Plutonium is the sacrifice of the own inner
way/destiny or the suppression and blocking of one's inner human powers.
Consequently man is not able to learn about his destiny. His essence decays
into various personalities. These different personalities stand for various
constraints and they become apparent as masks or different roles which the
individual tries anxiously and compulsively to fulfil. Strong efforts are
made to compensate or hide this decay. High ideals and relapses into chronic
exhaustion, depression and feelings of inferiority result from this
disintegration. A further attempt to stop decline and decay is an increased
sense of responsibility, such as children who try to prevent the family from
disintegrating."
"The prover felt clearly that he changed identity depending on
where he was and whom he was with."
M Persistent feeling of existential threat.
"Fears his own defeat if he dares to insist on his personal will
and inclination."
"Fear of ecological catastrophes."
Panic-stricken. Claustrophobia.
M Aggressive, reckless impulses.
"Wanted to clear her way of people driving slowly in front of her.
No compassion. Felt like a machine with a fixed speed that wouldn't accept
any obstacle."
Aggressive fantasies. "Imagines what would happen if he threw his
own son down the bridge or if he went at full speed by car through the
pedestrian precinct."
Dominant behaviour [yet intense sensitivity].
M Deep religious feelings or philosophical thoughts.
G Feeling of extreme heaviness.
"Feeling as if having put on 20 kilos over night."
Body seems to be like lead.
Head very heavy, like an enormous weight; difficult to keep head
up.
Feels the pull of gravity.
Desire to lie down on one's back and on the floor.
G Periodical FATIGUE.
Continuous attacks of fatigue [disappearing quickly]. Paralysing
fatigue.
G Chilliness and shivering.
Yet great feeling of heat in head and face.
P Sensation of dryness in throat, as if swallowing of food would be
impossible.
P Paralysing pain in sacral region.
Pain as if broken or twisted.
Cannot walk upright; must crawl on all fours and feels "like an
animal or an ignored baby."
Worse: Walking.

Dear List
I think this is the final one (unless any more info. mysteriously appears!).
What follows is a precis of a sort of 'Pluto Diary' I kept for a while.
Looking back, there seems to be a periodicity of about 3 months. As I
write, the central heating and water system is being repaired (for the
fourth time). I estimate that since the proving began I've had about 30
broken windows around the house. I'm just resigned to it now, and have an

quietly contemplating the bottle one night, lightbulb in nearby lamp
explodes. Ah well, no big deal. New neighbour decides to demolish old
concrete coal bunker next to my house. I suggest he burns his rubbish in it
first to save a trip to dump. Result? Tons of old dead wood ignites like a
bomb, makes coal bunker red hot, it explodes sending showers of broken
concrete over my conservatory roof. Fire gets dangerously hot, we dampen it
down with hosepipes all evening as it is in danger of setting fire to my
house and hedge. Both think it¹s hilarious, as both could do with insurance
money. Never mind!
New neighbour (the house that adjoins my fireplace) arrives on doorstep
tonight - he¹s been in hospital for 2 days after being mown down by a taxi
whilst walking home from nearby nightclub. Lucky to be alive. Injured
shoulder (previously broken in another accident) which has mystified
hospital staff, despite CT scan, complains of terrible burning pains &
shock.
I¹m not even going to attempt to analyse this lot at this stage. All I can
say is that these events that seem to link up Pluto, Granite,
BerlinWall/Concrete only appear to be synchronistic because the knowledge
of these things has in one way or other entered my consciousness, and I can
therefore make the connections, as I¹m sure anyone can. But what do we do
with them when we¹re in the middle of the fall-out?
30.4.97: Mr Concrete-Coal-Bunker -who-was-Mown-Down-by-A-Taxi next door has
now started knocking down his fireplace, which adjoins mine. I fear he soon
be in my practice room, snuggling up to my Plut 12 and Berlin Wall on the
fireplace. Shall I move it before he starts to tunnel?
July 97: Getting immersed in Plutonium again as writing talk for Society
Conference. Borrowed neighbour¹s car and window smashed into a million
pieces as I shut the door. 20.8.97: As I was talking to R. on the phone
about Pluto. the neighbour¹s kid smashed window back of house. 27.8.97:
Had a new patient today who appears to be Plut. In the army, he used to
watch nucelar explosions, and had a habit of throwing the TV through the
window in a temper. 2 hours after he left Peter & Jon broke a 6ft square
plate glass window in conservatory - with a small apple, of all things!
29.8.97: Large glass jar & bottle mysteriously crash from a high shelf in
Jo¹s room and smash cleanly. 30.8.97: I get splinters of glass in foot in
bathroom where to my knowledge there is no broken glass.
Finally, a friend of mine came to visit early summer 98. We were in my
practice room one evening talking about the Plutonium proving, when in the
room above us we heard.....yep! The sound of breaking glass. My son had
somehow knocked a picture off the wall in his sleep!

hsg Plutonium nitricum
(snip) Plutonium nitricum.
In Greek mythology, Pluto, or Pluton [also known as Hades], was a god
both of death and of fertility or abundance. He was the god who protected
the space under the earth, from where he supplied the crops with food. Hence
he was considered to be the god of the underworld and identified with Hades.
The poets called him Aidoneus, the invisible, and due to this, not only his
person but his kingdom were considered to be veiled in secret darkness.
When Kronos was deposed as the ruler of the universe his three sons
divided the world among themselves. Zeus got the upperworld, Poseidon the
oceans and Hades the underworld, the realm of the spirits. Together with
Persephone, whom he abducted from the upperworld, Hades ruled the
underworld. The entrance to his kingdom was guarded by a multiheaded dog,
Cerberus, the hellhound. The god Hermes [Mercurius] led the departed souls
to the underworld, where they were across the river Styx by the ferryman
Charon. The deceased needed to have received a coin from their relatives as
a fee to be ferried across the river. Only those that had been buried or
cremated were granted the passage to the kingdom of Hades. The judges of the
dead then decided whether a soul would go to the Elysian Fields, for the
virtuous; or to Tartarus, a place of punishment; or to the Asphodel Meadows,
for those neither virtuous nor evil. Those that had not been buried were not
allowed in and could never find rest anywhere.
At the same time Hades was ruler over all the resources that were to be
found within the depths of the earth. For this reason he was compared with
Plutus by the Romans [from Gr. ploutos = richness]. Plutus was seen as the
son of Demeter, since abundant grain supplies were regarded as a token of
wealth. The Romans also called him Dis Pater [from L. dives, 'rich'].
Consecrated to Hades were the narcissus [messenger of spring] and the
cypress [a coniferous tree frequently planted in churchyards]. Due to his
inexorable nature he was regarded by the Greeks as somewhat horrifying.
Myths and temples were rarely dedicated to him. However, some offerings were
made: black sheep which were slaughtered with their heads facing the ground,
whereby those making the offerings would turn their faces away. Just as
little of the god who was so feared was portrayed in art. In the few
representations that can be found of Hades, he is protrayed with a hard
facial expression, closed lips and wild hanging hair.
Astronomically Pluto is the ninth planet from the Sun. It is the
smallest and most remote planet known in the solar system. The planet was
just discovered as recently as 1930. It revolves around the Sun once every
248.4 years. Computer simulations have revealed that Pluto's orbit is not
completely predictable, and therefore chaotic. In 1978 it was discovered
that the planet has a grey satellite. This was named 'Charon' after the
ferryman from Greek mythology.
The name of the element Plutonium is derived from the planet Pluto. It
is a radioactive chemical element, the fifth member of the actinide series
of the periodic table. Of the fourteen actinides, three can be found in
nature: thorium, protactinium en uranium, though trace quantities of natural
plutonium have been found in uranium ores. The eleven that follow, with
atomic numbers higher than 92, are all made artificially by bombarding
atomic nuceli. Perhaps they have in nature beforee, but they have
disappeared due to their being short-lived. Like the Greek divinity they
belong to the secret realm of the spitits. All these elements are
radioactive.
"Plutonium is a metal that is silvery in appearance but becomes
yellowish when exposed to air. It exists in six structural forms, or
allotropes, which vary according to temperature. Large pieces of the metal
are warm to the touch owing to the release of energy from alpha-particle
decay. Plutonium forms binary compounds with oxygen, as well as intermediate
oxides of variable composition. It also forms halides, oxyhalides, and
compounds with carbon, nitrogen, silicon, and sulfur. It forms alloys with
beryllium, lead, uranium, chromium, iron, nickel, and manganese. It is the
most important of the transuranium elements owing to its successful use as
an explosive in nuclear weapons and the key position it holds in the
development of the industrial use of nuclear power, as in mining and
oil-drilling projects. Nuclear reactors, particularly in France and the USSR
but not in the United States, create electrical power using [239]Pu as fuel.
Various isotopes of plutonium are starting materials in the synthesis of
other transuranium elements and the manufacture of radioactive isotopes for
medical research and industrial purposes. The isotope [238]Pu powers such
sophisticated devices as batteries in implanted heart pacemakers." [Grolier]
Plutonium is a highly dangerous radiological poison. It is specifically
absorbed by bone marrow in humans and emits alpha particles at a high rate.
A reflection of its dangerous nature is its application as atomic bombs and
nuclear weapons.
In astrology Pluto represents all those aspects of mythology and
physics. The central themes are the need of power, transcendence and the
surfacing of suppressed and unconscious contents. Possible expressions of
these are: heavy emotional outburst, power complexes, self-destruction yet
also the power behind metamorphosis; urge towards everlasting renascence.
Dying and being born anew.
Proved by Ritzer & Eberle in 1995 on 11 persons [all aware of what was
being tested]. Drug picture also based on "the more than 70 cases where we
prescribed Plutonium."

Comparisons
.. Radioactivity.
. Granitum: For the proving of Granitum Nuala Eising used Connemara
Granite. This granite has one of the highest levels of radioactivity of the
granites found in Britain and Ireland. There are some interesting
similarities with Plutonium: Granitum provers observed "no difficulty in
being blunt or rude; they felt no care for the hurt they might be inflicting
on others." In some Plutonium provers aggressive impulses came up. A
striking resemblance was demonstrated in the back symptoms. Folias
experienced an extremely painful lower backache. His back went out
completely. He was forced to walk bent over, just like a Plutonium prover,
who couldn't walk upright and was compelled "to crawl on all fours." With
Granitum there was amelioration by a hot shower, whereas in Plutonium an
amelioration by warmth and sitting in the sun was observed. In both remedies
a nocturnal aggravation was noted.

LEADING SYMPTOMS
M Obligation.
"Cannot live as she likes, feeling of too much obligation. Feeling
of being externally forced to keep on going and to do all kinds of things."
M Fastidious.
URGE TO PUT THINGS IN ORDER. [Observed by 5 provers]
M Feeling of decay, disintegration into different identities.
"The central idea of Plutonium is the sacrifice of the own inner
way/destiny or the suppression and blocking of one's inner human powers.
Consequently man is not able to learn about his destiny. His essence decays
into various personalities. These different personalities stand for various
constraints and they become apparent as masks or different roles which the
individual tries anxiously and compulsively to fulfil. Strong efforts are
made to compensate or hide this decay. High ideals and relapses into chronic
exhaustion, depression and feelings of inferiority result from this
disintegration. A further attempt to stop decline and decay is an increased
sense of responsibility, such as children who try to prevent the family from
disintegrating."
"The prover felt clearly that he changed identity depending on
where he was and whom he was with."
M Persistent feeling of existential threat.
"Fears his own defeat if he dares to insist on his personal will
and inclination."
"Fear of ecological catastrophes."
Panic-stricken. Claustrophobia.
M Aggressive, reckless impulses.
