lac humanum/maternum

[Joy Lucas]

Dear all, if anyone here has prescribed either lac humanum or lac
maternum can they offer any insight into choosing one over the other.
Smits says maternum gives a broader spectrum but it seems quite
difficult to me to see a lot of difference. If Patricia Hatherly is
still on this list I would appreciate her input and anyone else who
might care to share a few thoughts. Thanks in advance, Joy

Trish isn't on list at the moment but I will pass this on to her.
We had a group trituration of Lac Humanum recently, but I'll leave it to
Trish. She's the expert.

Dear Joy,

I have only given Lac Maternum; in both cases I saw a healing with the
mother/daughter relationship, one case being a profound healing in that a previous
hatred of the mother completely reversed and she still is v. close to her mum
(several years later) and this being in a predominately 'daddy's girl' case.

Both given on the following indications -

From LINKS:



FWIW, I see Lac Mat as more caring (more Carcinogenic) and Lac H more
indifferent, needing to control, although Lac M can do it subtly, or unconsciously.
But I'm sure Patricia is probably the expert on the differences.

Best wishes, Barbara

Many thanks Michelle and Barbara.

Barbara - do you know if Lac maturnum has the same level of heartburn
that humanum does. I know that humanum has a lot of eating disorders
but it is just the acid heartburn that interests me. Best wishes, Joy

Hi again Joy,

I've just looked up the file of the case which 'turned around' her relationship with
her mum. I can't say 'heartburn', but certainly digestion problems, and in this
particular case, a feeling of nausea since a very young age -> age 17; > apple juice which >. Very child-like, and even felt she had to do
certain things to "ground herself". I looked up Tinus Smits write-up on Lac M.,
(see below) as maybe it will help in your quest.

Best wishes, Barbara

PHYSICAL COMPLAINTS

The physical complaints we expect with this remedy are obviously complaints
associated with this lack of incarnation: the energy is too high in the physical body
and causes headache, migraine, dizziness, vertigo, an empty feeling, flushes, loss of
hair etc. and, from lack of energy in the lower body, coldness of the extremities,
weak libido, lack of feeling, awkwardness and general chilliness. The unawareness
of one's frontiers leads to skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, molluscae, etc,
the skin being the margin of the physical body. This makes Lac maternum a very
effective remedy against skin diseases.

Case: Denise is ten months old when I first see her. She has terrible eczema all
over her body, even on her face and scalp, with thick dirty yellowish-brown crusts.
She scratches herself constantly. Everything started at four months, but she had
not yet been vaccinated, otherwise the first step would have been to detoxify the
child with the potentised vaccines in 30K, 200K, MK and XMK (the English
translation of `The Post-Vaccination Syndrome, diagnosis, treatment and
prevention' is available now). These vaccines were postponed because she was
behind in her growth. Her mother had a toxicosis during pregnancy and Denise
was therefore delivered by Caesarean section at 35 weeks, birth weight 1910 grams.
She remained in the incubator for ten days and was not breast-fed. She sleeps on
her back with her arms over her head and she has almost constantly a protruded
tongue. Her forehead is relatively large and somewhat protuberant. She observes
people very attentively and likes or dislikes people very decidedly.
Prescription: Lac-m LM6 every day or less when any aggravation.
Results: In six weeks her eczema has completely disappeared, but the itching has
a tendency to return, probably because the parents passed very quickly to one dose
every six days. Two years after the start of the homeopathic treatment she has
made enormous progress. Her tongue is in a normal position and she no longer
gapes all the time. She is growing normally now and food is passed to her stomach
normally. Her digestive system seems in balance now without pain in the abdomen
or eructations. Her skin no longer bothers her and the itching has disappeared
gradually. She still takes Lac-m LM12 every three days.

When I was working on the picture of Saccharum officinale (published in
Homeopathic Links 3/95: saccharum officinale, The Magic Sugar) I expected
this remedy to cure almost all eating problems such as obesity, boulimia, anorexia
and consuming a lot of sweets, but in reality only half of the patients given this
remedy resolved their eating problem and often the underlying cause proved to be
in a deeper layer, i.e. the Lac maternum layer. It is not surprising that this remedy
is also associated with eating, because the mother's milk is (or should be) the first
food we take after our arrival on earth. As the milk helps us to incarnate, eating
and drinking can become a problem that is linked with incarnation. This has been
confirmed in practice. A lot of patients have been able to resolve their bad
relationship with food and eating with Lac maternum.

Hi Joy,
I've prescribed Lac humanum, but not lac maternum. There were some eating disorders in the case, a love of ginger in all forms, and excessive mothering with a background of not being mothered at all. This is just a very brief summary - there was more to the case. She did very well on Lac Humanum - the only blip came when I was hesitant to move her from 30 to 200, and gave her 100C - huge emotional and mental aggravations and she almost left homeopathy altogether.

Hi Vera,

I gather that once you took her to 200 progress resumed and no more
aggravation, or did the aggravation from the 100 pass off and yield to
progress, or ?
Shannon

[Joy Lucas]

Many thanks Vera and Barbara again. I quite like the differential of
lac humanum being more controlling and maternum being more caring that
Barbara mentioned - this is helpful for me to make a decision. Thanks
again, best wishes, Joy

Why would this be so?

[Joy Lucas]

If you are asking me I'm not sure but maternum having colostrum content
and taken over a period of some days and from a number of women might
provide the subtle difference. Other than that they are perhaps on the
same paradigm but at different points. Best wishes, Joy
