Hi

As has been mentioned one of the traits of Causticum is the point of seeking
justice / removing injustice.

When the ultimate imbalance occurs we can see how these people can do things
'in the name of justice' which is far from justice - including terrorism.
As I have mentioned before the real root cause of terrorism is the real or
perceived sense of injustice.

The other characteristic that runs with Causticum is the GREAT sense of
SYMPATHY that they exhibit - Hence when they see someone wronged they go to
their aid.
Now we have not seen this with GW at all. Symbolically he has not even
attended one funeral for any of the fallen veterans.

Also he gives me no sense of personal warmth.
Whilst on warmth, Causticums have problems with getting heated (remember how
much time was spent for the first debate on what the temperature setting
should be with Bush's people wanting a higher temperature to make Kerry
perspire). On the other hand Verats run cold and even have a sensation of
ice cold blood running through their veins.

Now with Kerry being an ex-lawyer, can we say he is a Causticum? Any other
evidence?

REMEDY NAME:CAUSTICUM

Causticum belongs to the Kali family.
It is a sycotic remedy.
The main feeling in Causticum is that the person is the one who has to take
care of the group or family. He is facing the threat from outside and in
order to face this threat, he requires that the whole group should fight
together. Being the strongest member of the group, one who is most capable of
putting up a fight, he regards a threat to any one member of that group as a
threat to himself. If he doesn't forestall the threat, it will affect the
whole group and he will be weakened.
The situation of Causticum is of a family where the husband is dead and the
wife has to single-handedly take care of her children. Here she is the
strongest member of her group - her family. So she is very much concerned
when there is any problem with any member of the family, for example when a
child falls sick or is late in coming home.
The two most important feelings of Causticum are: "Anxious for others" and
"Fear that something will happen". Interestingly Causticum is one of the few
remedies listed under "Fear of dogs".
It can also be the situation of a man who is the only educated member in a
group of illiterate workers whom the management is pressurizing unfairly. The
whole group has to fight back and if any one worker is threatened, this man
takes his side, fights for him, because if he doesn't and something happens
to the worker, the group as a whole is threatened next. He, being the
strongest member of that group, has to take care of the rest of the group,
and he becomes very much concerned if anyone is in trouble. His strength lies
in the strength of the group and he is the one who looks after it.
Like Causticum, Nitric acid too is very sympathetic and both come from a
similar situation. The only difference is that Nitric acid is actually
fighting a very hard battle with
an enemy. It is not merely fighting unfairness like Causticum, but a long and
unforgiving battle against a person who has harmed him. For this battle he
requires the support from all his friends. So Nitric acid is very sympathetic
to all his supporters. He is sympathetic conditionally. As long as you are
his friend, he is sympathetic. Once you offend him he will kill you.
The third remedy listed as sympathetic is Phosphorus and it is the only
remedy listed in three marks. There is a kind of selfishness behind the
sympathy that both Causticum and Nitric acid feel. They stand to gain by
their sympathy whereas Phosphorus is genuinely sympathetic. In being
sympathetic Causticum is anxious for others, whereas Phosphorus feels the
anxiety of others. If the child goes out and is a little late returning home,
Causticum will be worried even though the child is enjoying himself. It is
not so with Phosphorus. Phosphorus feels the anxiety of the other person,
i.e. when the other person is anxious Phosphorus feels it.
Causticum is always anxious for others, always on tenterhooks, always
checking where they have gone, when they will return, etc. If they are late,
Causticum has to keep pacing up and down.
Both Phosphorus and Causticum are very similar remedies. Both are chilly,
both desire cold drinks and are averse to sweets. Also, both may have
paralysis of the right side of face. Hence they are inimical remedies.
