Lesser Known Remedies - Chocolate (Choc.)

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

Chocolate
*********

Chocolate is a new remedy introduced and proved by
Jeremy Sherr.

The remedy was prepared from best quality Belgian dark
chocolate.

If you study carefully the proving of Chocolate, you
will find out its profound effect on emotional sphere.
A deep introversion with ecstatic feelings develop and
the person becomes detached from society and his/her
usual activities. He/she cannot concentrate on usual
activities but becomes sharp internally. He knows
clearly about his emotions. His senses become acute
but dislikes being in company and prefers to be alone.
He is ok in being alone with himself. He may feel love
toward people even much more than before but prefers
to be detached. He doesn't want to be disturbed. This
detachment may appear as emotional coldness towards
loved ones, children but it is not actually a real
internal indifference.

MIND - DELUSIONS - alone, being - world; alone in the
MIND - DELUSIONS - separated - world; from the - he is
separated
MIND - DETACHED
MIND - ESTRANGED - society, from
MIND - FORSAKEN feeling - isolation; sensation of
MIND - INDIFFERENCE - children; towards - mother
towards her children; indifference of
MIND - SENSITIVE - external impressions, to all
MIND - AVERSION - children, to - own; her

Where there is a need for concentration of thinking he
is confused and absentminded. He knows that he is in
an atmosphere different than usual social atmosphere
but wants to hide this difference. This makes the
patient somewhat paranoidal. He thinks that he is
being watched and people are observing his confusion.

MIND - ABSENTMINDED
MIND - CONCENTRATION - difficult - attempting to
concentrate; on - vacant feeling; has a
MIND - CONFUSION of mind - arouse himself, compelled
to
MIND - DELUSIONS - confusion; others will observe her
MIND - FEAR - observed; of her condition being
MIND - MISTAKES; making - speaking, in - words -
misplacing words

Look at the following statement from the proving:

'I feel paranoid that someone will see me and think
'on drugs' and arrest me or cart me off to an
institution'.

MIND - DELUSIONS - persecuted - he is persecuted
MIND - DELUSIONS - pursued; he was
MIND - DELUSIONS - watched, she is being

So in society, Chocolate patients are anxious but when
alone, they feel calm. They prefer to hide away from
the world. They suffer from the process of suppression
and inhibition of their deep feelings developed by
society and civilisation. They are less judgemental
toward themselves and become kinder to themselves.
This is what makes them look somehow selfish.

MIND - COMPANY - aversion to - alone amel.; when
MIND - HIDING - himself
MIND - IRRITABILITY - disturbed, when
MIND - QUIET; wants to be
MIND - TRANQUILLITY

They are philosophical about things but not with a
rigid type of thinking but in a sweet way. They love
the blue sky in a mystical way.

They feel both more present and more distant!

Some general features of Chocolate:

- Activity in alternation with lassitude
- Amelioration by being covered
- Sensation of heat at night
- Aversion to butter and rich food
- Worse from eating chocolate.

If you don't know about the materia medica of
chocolate, you may probably prescribe Pulsatilla,
Hydrogenium, Calcarea carbonica or Natrum muriaticum
for Chocolate cases.
With all the best wishes,

Ardavan

Dear Ardavan

I'd like to suggest that you consider adding Lac-h to the list of Rx in the
DD section at the end of your post.

The indifference/detachment of the Lac-h type stems from a focus on the
needs of the self rather than that of the group.
The rubrics regarding lack of concentration and poor cognitive mental
function have more of physiological rather than an emotional base in Lac-h
stemming from the lack of appropritae access to breastmilk in the formative
period of brain development.

Rubrics to consider:
ABSENT MINDED
ANXIETY
ANXIETY COMPANY
ANGER INTERRUPTION
ANSWERS SNAPPISHLY
COMPANY aversion to
COMPANY aversion, alone, amel when
CONCENTRATION difficult
CONCENTRATION difficult, calculating while
DETACHED
DETACHED ego from
DREAM, as if in a
FORSAKEN isolation, sensation of
INDIFFERENCE to everything
IRRITABLE
IRRITABLE alone, wishes to be
IRRITABLE family, to her
MEMORY weak, read, for what he has
MISTAKES calculations in
MISTAKES reading
MISTAKES spelling
THOUGHTS disconnected
THOUGHTS disconnected, cannot read
TRANQUILITY
UNCONSCIOUSNESS conduct automatic
UNFEELING

Lac-h has more anger rather than fear and has a STRONG desire for chocolate!

kind regards
Patricia

Thank you!
