case that I used in my book
Posted: Mon May 31, 2004 5:19 am
Below is a surmise of case which I wanted to post as advertising for the book I have coming out with North Atlantic Books and Dana Ullman. I would also like to thank all the people who have given me encouragement and expressed interest in this project. I am happy to say it is near completion, and you will by October be able to look out for Dana's posting on this site as to how you can purchase it.
Case 1. This is a brief summary of the case.
Women aged 61 presenting health issue that she came wanting help with / constipation, diarrhoea, muscular aches and pains, unexplained anxiety when she travels.
Probe into childhood reveals she was often left by parents for extended periods of 3 months at any given time with often very "uncaring nannies."
Suffers terrible constipation and anxiety when travelling. She has to travel for the family business quite often.
Has a lot of muscular aches and pains. She is particularly miserable if there is conflict within her extended or close family.
Doesn't like to have any upsets.
Her favourite things is the large family holidays they have once a year.
Prescribed 1m Magnesium carbonica.
Follow up after one month constipation and aches and pain greatly improved and feeling a lot happier. no treatment.
3 months presents again with terrible diarrhoea and back pain.
I question the patient to find out what has been going on in her life, and if there are any changes that are significant.
Yes, one change after one month of her initial treatment with me she made her husband financially independent from her.
What this means is that she gave her husband his own wealth and freedom - in terms of a financial settlement.
Previously they had an arrangement in which he was financially dependant on her. ( She is a wealthy woman in a large family dynasty.)
Since doing that he has decided to set up his own business, and now she never sees him.
Case analysis: What do I do at this point if I do not explain the nature of her constitutional picture?
After the one dose of 1m. she obviously felt confident to let her partner free from her own Magnesium carbonicum need for co-dependency.
Her partner, I know, because he also sees me, is a Sulphur, and I have also been treating him. As a result of him taking Sulphur he wants to explore more of his creativity in the world, and fulfil his life long ambition of setting up what is a very altruistic business concept. Which in true Sulphur fashion does not make money, but is truly inspirational for a lot of people.
My responsibility to make this work for both of my patients is to sit down and help my Magnesium carbonica understand about her need for co-dependency and her fear of abandonment. With my Sulphur I need to explain that in the pursuit of his altruistic dreams he has to take the time to consider his partners fears of abandonment and also her fear of his loosing all the money. To my Magnesium carbonica patient I need to sit down, and congratulate her on letting go her need for co-dependency enough to give him some freedom, but I also need to explain that since he has been able to pursue his dream even though I can see her point that it is altruistic and financially improbable, he is not depressed like he used to be.
In both of the above cases the remedy has worked and is moving both of their emotional and physical blocks BUT I feel that it is responsible on my part to explain the true nature behind each constitutional picture. If I help each other understand the other, then the relationship has more of a chance of being healthy for both.
Above you have the comic book relationship in American Splendor between a Magnesium carbonica and a Sulphur.
This is what my book A Homeopathic Guide to partnership and Compatibility is all about.
This is not using homeopathic compatibility to solve a case. The remedies themselves were already doing that. This is homeopathy with compatibility and understanding thrown in.
In American Splendor (which I write up in my book), the relationship is not as healthy as my two patients. Both of my patients have had homeopathic treatment, but they have also had the understanding you will gain from this book.
I didn't base this book on case studies like the above, it is all based on characters in movies, that way you yourself can validate my perceptions and philosophy.
