Minutus

I have a patient with a strange problem - not what I'm treating her for, she
mentioned this to me as an aside.

She cannot wear watches because they all stop working after a while. This
began about 8 years ago - the watch will slow down, then eventually stop
working. In the last 4-5 years, they 'die' faster. She said that she has a
cupboard of dead watches. Even after they are repaired, they stop working
soon after she wears them. If, after repair, her sister wears it, the watch
continues to work. She tried using a keychain watch kept in her handbag.
However, she had to take it out to look at the time. It, too, suffered an
untimely demise. Now, her sisters refuse to let her touch their watches!

Does anyone have any idea why this happens, or encountered someone with a
similar problem?

My mother had that problem too -- it was indeed strange. That was long before I was a homeopath, and I have no idea how one would repertorize it. For her, too, it started at a certain point -- wasn't lifelong.

I'll be curious, too, to see what others have to say. Rosemary

I used to know someone who made electronic objects suffer nervous
breakdowns. Maybe similar, or is she using wind-up watches? (And if not,
maybe she should see whether those go the same route?)

As to why -- I would love to hear!!!

Hi Rosemary,

Do you know, did this happen with wind-up watches, or battery-operated, or
both kinds?

Back then, I think there were only wind-up watches. ) But I think I remember she got a new-fangled batter-operated watch, and it happened with that, too.

Positron is anti-matter-- and which is in reverse-time motion, if I
recall correctly, (and which I think is a feature that may have come
out in the proving in some way)

Another idea is to consider SILICA, the material of quartz oscillators,
with which her body may be in co-resonance, eventually (conceivably)
affecting the delicate low power osc circuit of a watch.

I would try to rule out these two as a first step to finding the true
bullseye in the case--- which seems yet undetermined--as this highly
peculiar feature remains.

Would like to hear what you find works in this case, and whether the
watch phenomenon goes away. If you have success, her wearing a watch
can be used as a reliable relapse indicator

I never wear a watch for exactly the same reason and I have a 'thing' about
clocks - most of them end up telling a different time ) So I just gave in
to it and have no idea why it happens - possibly something to do with
magnets. Are they battery watches or wind up. Interesting.

Best, Joy

I remember a discussion years ago on either this list or Lyghtforce
(probably the latter) about people who made lightbulbs blow in the streets
as well as at home and other phenomena and I recall the mention of Phos
there somewhere. Maybe someone could do an archive search and find the
discussions.

Thanks, Andy for your explanation and the remedy rubric. Winding watches
also stop working when she wears them. Any possible explanation for this?
