JOSHI CONFERENCE – BYRON- REPTILES – 7.9.07

• Crocodiles
• Snakes
• Lizards
• Turtles

Dr Bhawisha Joshi

• Sankaran method – has made us travel around world
• Antwerp conference – 26 people – all GPs – all specialists – knew all rubrics by heart – psychiatrists, gynaecologists – they had all been practising for 10 yrs as homoeopaths… they were all aged 60-70 yrs…
• There are these 2 little homoeopaths – they are coming from India with a hurricane & they are blowing the roofs off the houses of our homoeopathic method
• & now we are rebuilding our houses with new material!
• Some people think this method has no connection to homoeopathy whatsoever –
• They were afraid…but it’s not a hurricane, or rebuilding – it’s just an extension of what is already known
• Why do we need this new method?  Is it a fashion? Is it just a need to change or bored with current?  Or is it ‘cos the new one has come because the old one is outdated?
• I started looking back… reading Organon & Philosophy – to see if there was anything that advocated this change
• The Princliples and Art of Homoeopathy – HA Roberts… book says Chap 1 – What has homoeopathy to offer the young man
• “In the 1^st place, H offers to the independent mind an opportunity continually to seek new verifications of the natural laws upon which this system of medicine is based. It opens up vast fields to the pioneer, & we cannot gauge the distance that eager minds may travel, nor how greatly the interpretations of these laws may influence the civilisation of the future.”
• We do 5 ½ yrs of H before graduating – 6 days a week – 9-7pm & on Sunday have extra lectures to go to
• See 60-70 pts in morning from 9-1pm
• This is evolution – things are always coming up new
• Hahnemann put out 6 editions of Organon – what was the need to change… if he was happy, why did he add to it… always room for new developments
• Doesn’t mean that what we did in the past was wrong, it only means that what we know now is added to.
• So much information added to the already existing
• So many new ways of understanding the pt
• So many new techniques to understand the pt.
• So many paths to reach the core
• Boenninghausen – on generals
• George Vithoulkhas – re drug pictures – e.g. Staph – rubric – wounded honour/ a/f being scorned… this rx came to life with the drug pictures
• Staph – cannot say anything… wounded honour – physicals come out… headaches etc…
• Sankaran – delusions – reduced entire drug picture to one single central core – 1 delusion that governed all the reactions of that person.  He worked with delusions for 25 yrs…
• By working with delusions that we realised that some rxs have a peculiar pattern
• MIND; DELUSIONS, imaginations; despised, is:
• Arg-nit, cob, hura, hydrog, lac-c., lach., orig.
• There are so many rxs under this rubric – there are 3 kingdoms – plant, mineral, animal… how to choose which one?
• If you knew the pattern of each of these 3 kingdoms, it would help us to narrow down our search
• After working with delusions for a long time, we begin to see the patterns in the delusions – all different kingdoms have delusion despised… but beneath this delusion (mental picture) each of the 3 kingdoms have a very different sensation(character)
• Why each of 3 kingdoms behave differently…..
• The 3 kingdoms made on the basis of each of their mode of existence in Nature
• Mode of existence of a plant is different from animal & that is different from mineral
• Plant vs animal = plant can make it’s own food – the animal cannot
• This is why Drosera – are considered as a plant – carnivorous but they can make their own food – contain chlorophyll… they only need the insects for O & Nitrogen.  It is independent.
• Spongia is considered animal- look like plants… one place, but don’t make own food… don’t have chlorophyll
• Chlorophyll needs light… so plant can make its own food if enough sunlight to cause chlorophyll to react…  Chlorophyll is SENSITIVE to sunlight & REACTIVITY to this – causes it to make food.  These are 2
• Underlying delusion of despised is the sensation of SENSITIVITY & REACTIVITY
• Sensation of being pushed & a REACTION of holding on
• SENSITIVITY of being pushed & a REACTION of suffocation – get me upset…

ANIMALS

• LACHESIS & LAC CAN – 2 ANIMALS
• The sensation of the animal = animals need to depend on other sources for their food. The herbivore eats plants… The herbivores are eaten by carnivores… chain of food.. there is a dependence on other organisms for your food
• Threat – what if I don’t get my food?  How do I survive?
• Herbivore – threat of being killed
• Carnivore – threat of survival – to die
• Feeling of survival – either by fleeing or by killing (carnivore)
• Threat vs survival = me vs you
• Either the herbivores gets his food & the carnivores die
• Or the carnivores gets the food & the herbivores die
• Threat – survival/jealousy/competition
• Whatever is done to me I need to give right back to me
• Delusion despised = animal sensation = they all hate me in this room… I’m going to give it back – just watch what I do in the break = carnivore
• What’s going to happen to me… survival… I feel sooo vulnerable…
• It’s all what they have done to me & how I react to that – via either attack or fleeing

MINERALS = structure nucleus & electrons revolving around them

• Every atom needs 8 electrons to be complete & stable in nature
• Therefore all the atoms except Noble gases – are unstable because they don’t have enough electons in outer orbit… so is unstable… so in minerals they are constantly sharing/bonding with other minerals – SO THAT THEY COMPLETE
• MINERALS = sensation = being incomplete
• I am complete from within… so how do my work to complete myself… work
• Delusion despised = sensation = incomplete – so I say by working I complete my identity.. if I do this then you will know me & I’m very clear about
• Silica – clear = fixed & clear about the rules about my identity..
• I’m doing this because I want to complete my identity
• If talking about work/performance = achievement
• Doing seminar talk… 3 sensations around this… =3 kingdoms
• Animal – me vs you… survival to earn money
• Plant = you’ve done this to me – I react/sensitive to it
• Minerals – doing the work to complete

• Sensation is deeper than the delusion
• Sensation connects the human to non-human
• Sensation connects the patient to the source

• Sensation helps to make sense of every nonsense that the pt talks about

1^ST WORK OUT CENTRAL CORE OF PT… central sensation – either plant/mineral/animal…

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUAL ANIMALS IN LIFE & IN THE REMEDIES

• After working a lot with animal remedies.. we began to see a different sensation between the different families
• The raising of any animal substance to a potency form reflects the true spirits of the creature from which it was derived, and allows us to compare these symptomatic findings of the racial peculiarities of the creature with the mental symptoms developed in the patients.
• Baboons (close to Rhesus monkey) in Africa(Lac Rhesus) – have a lot of secretiveness – hide water bowls from other animals – very secretive & possessive. 
• In animal cases – the central issue has to be around me vs you
• If you do this to me… I will do this to you… Predator /prey = centre of case
• PREDATOR/PREY = central core
• Have to see this in case 1^st
• Hierarchy, dependence = on the group… animals either living solitary or in groups… always a fight between male for the territory & for dominance
• BEST PROGENY/ Fight to finish = nature has made the fight so that the best person wins…
• ATTRACTIVENESS/POWER/COMPETITION/JEALOUSY – comes out in order to win – gain territory
• LOQUACITY/ VIVACITY, ANMATION - Very sharp with observations/ their smell strong
• Don’t give Leopard if boy walks in wit stuffed leopard
• Or if has dog give Causticum  !! J
• Animals – always 1 to 1…. YOU HAVE DONE THIS TO ME = they are feeling the whole thing about survival of me vs you
• The patient’s life is totally ruined because of one other person
• The person who has troubled me should NOT BE ENJOYING THEIR LIFE
• Whether the pt is victim or aggressor, they still feel the sensation of being attacked
• A person can only see in others what is inside them… can only see what is a part of ourselves…
•  

CASE 1

• P100 – Ms SS Female 27 yrs
• Main sx = feels extremely sleepy/drowsy /lethargy
• Big lack of confidence
• Symptoms of depression
• Laziness
• Q = how does it feel to be lazy
• A = It feels worthless… what am I doing with my life
• Q = describe lazy
• Has back ache & leg pain
• Has PCOD
• Sxs remain even after adenoma remained – still sleepy
• Gestures of hands – throwing things away – letting go = really mother-in-law throwing away the promises she made
• Worthless – I don’t let go of things…  as a child I like to hold on to things
• This woman wanted to buy house close to mothers house, but mother-in-law said you buy a house close to my daughter… so we did this… & then she was far away from her mother…
• This pt can’t work & she is seeing same thing in others
• We always see same things in others…
• Q = how does this feel (Homoeopath uses gesture back to pt)
• This patient wants help… so it’s an animal rx that wants support/help
• Animal – you are not being straight to me… there is no family 4 me
• Been unfair – I want to box that woman
• Same language… you can’t change…. I’m not changing..
• have backed out… she had no right to do this… she has played a game with my whole life
• Everything that happens to me is because of them… it feels like I’m on one side & they are on the other
• I feel very, very lonely… a lot of loneliness
• To feel alone… to feel no support of family… to feel that people back out… to feel that everything is around money
• My loneliness/my worthlessness is more imp. To me than what my mother-in-law did…
• Promises – can’t back out… need to hold on to that… but mother in law is not holding on…
• Her dependence is about wanting to be able to blame other people for mistakes
• WANT FUN
• WANT AN EASY LIFE… want to bask in sun
• Don’t want responsibility
• I want to destroy this person (mother in law)

CASE 1 – PART 2

·         Feel like I want to destroy him – so that he feels like a reptile… like a crocodile..

·         I feel like a crocodile… thorny, in puddle, dirty

·         I feel dirty

• Every time I get angry I feel the same state – i.e.dirty

·         Whenever I’m angry, I feel like I’m in a puddle, dirty & I want to get out

·         Gave Crocodile 200C – because to get to this point  had to go through whole story… so much story took a long time to get there =200C… I knew she was between emotions/delusions

·         She was breastfeeding so 200C too

·         Follow up

·         Then she was soo aggravated… took painkillers… then after 7 days I gave her Croc. 1M… she improved immediately.

·         She had 2 surgery… pituitary adenoma… at 18/19… surgery at 20 then it grew again… then grew again… each time excised.. put on corticosteroids… high…

·         Endocrinologist told her that because of pregnancy why the steroids were high anyway… slowly need to increase steroid dose… after Croc 1M the incremental increase in steroids was stopped.

·         Now on very low dose of steroid… not increased … but tumour hasn’t come back

·         Her whole state… lethargy…. Feelings of anger towards family/not being able to make decisions/do anything with her life… all this improved after Croc 1M

·         Now she is still crocodile, but is a happy croc!

·

CASE TAKING

• Be alert – pick up a gesture – but also an art of gestures to be patient & to see which one to choose…. Don’t jump… don’t go on 1^st gesture… wait… let it develop… or if there are many gestures…give pt time to settle… pt can start with one gesture & then goes to another… giving plant gesture in start then animal gesture later… have to wait to see what the pt is saying.
• It’s where there is an energy of pt
• The more impatient you get.. the more likely I’m going to lose it… the door is closed.. you have pt there… can wait…
• The question should be not – “will I get to the rx”… but “when will I get to the rx?”   the remedy can’t go away… the pt can’t give any different answer
• Don’t be jumpy with this method
• Observe… which word & which gesture is coming repeatedly… just sit back & relax.. if do this… just take time
• Pt will not always flow with you… will jump back to emotions/situation…
• For pt to explain sensation they need to go back to emotions/situation  - to
• Don’t get carried away with the story… STICK TO GESTURE
• Or pick up from the story… constantly repeating patterns
• Pts have different levels of expression – i.e. ways of getting to sensation -…….name/fact/emotions/delusion (the situation feels like I’m in a box)/sensation
• The pt will have a level of emotion – so for that pt to bring out sensation, it is imp. To bring out drama of emotions…. This is how they have to explain the sensation
• Others won’t give whole story at all – but go straight to sensation… e.g. rabbit… I feel like I’m a tiny little animal & I can feel this person with big arms 1000’s of miles away can pick up
• Flow with the pt… see where the energy is… see where the pt wants to express… emotion/delusions/fact….
• You go with pt… let them flow at the level that they can…
• If someone says something, even in negative (e.g. no one can cheat me)… this means that cheating is an issue for them
• As pt… sit there very firm… be gentle not rude… but you must always be in control… but you have to be persuasive &you have to look like you are completely in control of the situation
• You have to look like you are in control
• Don’t get nervous… let the pt know you are not going to budge… just sit with them… have to keep standing ground…
• If they confront you & you get nervous… lost case…
• You must stand ground & let pt know that you mean business & that you are not going to go away from the case..
• Even if they threaten to walk out… want coffee.. don’t do it… just keep asking the same question… this will crack the case
• They have so much to tell you about the animal… be it dislike/like/aggravation… they have imbibed the energy of the animal so much in themselves…
• The process of case taking – I always felt like this… now I understand more about how I feel… then you know u have right rx
• Many different mineral or plant sensations can come up, but we have to keep probing.. & then
•  

Mammals & Birds

• Strong sense of duty & responsibility (not like reptiles)
• If old sx (headache from childhood) comes back… this shows that is good rx
• It took 4-5 months for it to come out… the state was already better by 15 days… but it took longer for the physical pathology to come out… 5 mths….

• REPTILES
• Lizards/alligator/crocodiles/snakes…
• Feeling that their family has been unfair to them.. they backed out, they changed…
• REPTILES = have this sensation… you have been unfair to me… family on whom I am meant to be dependent on…
• The Reptiles have much more senses
• Senses very imp. To all animals but most imp. To reptiles
• The hiding/the suddenness of attacking is the maximum in reptiles
• So treacherous… always trying to get money… cheating… hiding
• WANTING AN EASY LIFE
• Relaxed… wanting no responsibility in life
• SCARED OF RESPONSIBILITY
• Don’t feel they have got enough from family
• But also.. I don’t want to take responsibility for family… ie. Both sides
• LONELINESS
• CHEATING
• MONEY
• TREACHERY
• Quick & agile
• Very docile… but then attack is far more sudden than other animals
• AGILITY/ALERTNESS/SHARPNESS (esp. snakes)
• Feeling dependent
• You feel fear towards the animal…. E.g. I fear crocodiles…
• Most pts fear the reptile family…don’t like them
• Have a huge amount of information about this animal… they know so much about the rx… it can’t be anything else

CROCODILE – general information

• Live both in water & land
• Survived since dinosaurs – Nature hasn’t changed them much
• Cold blooded – to get warm… lie in sun with mouths open
• To cool down they lie in shade with mouths open
• Hardly move most of time – need to conserve energy
• Need solar heat
• Needs to not move much/be lazy to conserve energy… to maintain its temperature
• So less responsibility/leading easy life – both conserve energy to maintain energy levels
• When it does move – it is sudden – to go for kill – SUDDEN MOVEMENT
• All around trying to keep homeostatic body temperature
• Different from mammals/birds –warm blooded… so activity much more – they are doing/moving – bearing the responsibility of the child – can regulate temp. through the food he eats… so he can keep warm
• Croc teeth.. can regrow an indefinite number of times
• Their stomachs are the most acid of all vertebrate
• ANGER
• REVENGE   both very strong
• FEELING OF POWER – feeling incredibly powerful…
• All these comes in bursts… of anger/revenge/passion
• Normally solitary
• But plentiful of food can bring them together
• Don’t fight over food
• Croc – more social than alligators
• Croc live in groups of 4 or so
• Croc. -Need to communicate more… closer to mammals than alligator/snake… needing to belong to family etc.
• Reptiles have 4 chambered heart like humans.  Most reptiles have 3 chambered heart
• Alligators live alone  = DD Croc/Alligator
• Yet being a reptile… still feeling that not much support from family… not getting enough – don’t have my family… yet they have more than snakes… REPTILES = THREAT FROM FAMILY
• In snakes feel completely that the family is cheated completely… eat their own eggs.  No support from family… far more than in the crocodile… with snakes… family is gone… with croc/allig.  It’s still some family aspect, but not much… but much much less than mammals
• Crocodiles- look after young for 1^st year
• Alligators don’t
• Croc.- feeling of communication/ wanting socialisation
• Crocodiles communicate by sound/postures/ odours released by scent glands & by touch
• Killing – croc… once prey is seized little chance of escape… if prey is larger…. Then do “death roll” to kill prey.. – so can take larger prey…
• Alligator don’t go for such large prey
• Crocodiles – keep prey under rock… hold it there… let it rot… torture it
• Light sleepers
• Have good vision but can’t see anything below their nose

BIG CATS & TIGERS  - don’t move much… conserve energy in order to wait for next meal

Predator differentation

Mammal predator – big cat – there is a chase of some kind for a few kms… use stealth & camouflage.. behind grass/trees… but the fight is out in the open.. but there is a warning & a chase

Reptile predator… - wait & attack without warning/suddenly… can’t go running after it – generally not threatening… if you don’t touch/trouble them, then they’re the last one to attack you… but if you’ve annoyed them then they come back with vengeance… use energy only when cornered… usually can be very quiet (can’t always pick a reptile rx… can be sweet & mild at first)… can’t tell straight away.  Hard to elicit… power is difficult to discern… can’t see it straight away… have to be absolutely motionless… In a flash it is on victim.

Croc. can’t get you – when underneath it… so best to swim underneath a crocodile !! J

Can’t miss a lion or leopard.. can see their power – easy to spot but reptiles… not so obvious… hidden/secretive

MIASMS OF REPTILES

Crocodiles = tubercular ?

SNAKES = syphilitic (but Naja/Elaps = cancer miasm)

Constricutors = tubercular

Lizards = leprous miasm

Turtles = sycotic

KINGDOM – try to understand specific characteristics within that kingdom to differentiate family– e.g. what kind of plant/animal

PLANT

Sensation = What kind of sensitivity will tell you plant family – e.g. torn to pieces = Loginaceae

Miasm – through what intensity do you feel this sensation

             - what is the coping strategy towards the sensation?

ANIMAL

·         the specific characteristics of kingdom enables you to find family… not so much about sensation…

Miasm doesn’t help you so much in trying to come to rx in animal rx

But miasm will help you in ????

Which class is he in & then which amongst them

MINERAL

I need to completeness – what is it about &

How it deals/copes with the incompleteness is the column….

Try to get to understand… what is the issue & how does pt deal with issue

INCOMPLETENESS – differentiation between rows/series

Do I exist? = Hydrogen

Separation of existence = row 2 carbon

Incompleteness of identity = silica

How do I keep identity going/protect this identity = Ferrum

How does identity keep its lustre/ extraordinary/new = Silica

How can this identity be supreme = gold

Identity so full of … starts to break down – Lanth

Chlorum way of dealing different from Natrum… it says I am totally different from you…. Let go – Stage 17

Natrum… I’m totally dependent on others for my identity/can’t survive without you  - Stage 1

CONTINENTS & REMEDIES….

Have more vipers & lachesis & rattlesnakes – Nth America = Viperidae in US

Naja in India

Lac Lupinum = wolf in Europe

More sea animals near coast

Croc. Cases in India a lot

The vegetation/flora & fauna of one region does influence the people living in that region… not always the case…

Kangaroo is a remedy…

Wallaby also a remedy… ? where got from

So it can be that a region can require a remedy

? need to have more Australian remedies in our prescribing than now

SNAKES

• need to be quiet at times… rest
• can’t have excessive sleep or cold
• night agg
• swallowing agg (swallow prey whole)

• I can tell beforehand what is gong to happen
• I have an insight you don’t know
• I am always prepared & well planned in advanced because I now the world is a terrible place to live in

CASE 2 – child

• Problem = pain in abdomen
• Dr expecting perforation due any moment
• But generals not bad… didn’t look that bad state
• But child kept saying to parents… if you come to hospital.. I’m not coming back…
• Tell us about pain – it’s just pain all the time.. can’t describe it at all

• Can’t handle any kind of deceit/cheat
• SNAKE RX
• Whole thing is that I’m strong &right

• Gave this child Naja… but few days later gave Black Mamba

• AFTER Black Mamba 1M – fever went… in few days… child back to normal
• So father was Naja & son was Black Mamba
•  
• Naja = cobra,
• very poisonous… & yet will not strike often… always tries to prevent from striking
• Tries to warn every before by hood coming up
• Avoids striking
• Whole thing is that I’m strong &right
• Delusion = duality of talk – say they’re good & then about bad
•                 = wrong suffering
•                  = nobility
•     someone has been wrong to me… should I take revenge or should I not take revenge
• Naja = duality of this  = Should I be the noble one or should I take revenge?

Black Mamba

• in Africa
• LONGEST SNAKE
• usually docile – just like every other snake
• but uses fight/flight mechanism for defence
• not a snake that will attack
• but when there is no way to escape, will turn around & strike many, many times

• all things we expect in a snake case
• I wanted to be a priest… a noble man – the exact opposite of father, but he wouldn’t let me

Soldiers = minerals = defence… fighting for protection/security

DD 2 major snake families – both venomous

Elapidae oviparous = COBRA - Elaps/Mamba/ Naja –

·         Active hunters – go searching for prey

·         Slender

·         Fangs – short & fixed – so need to bite

·         Need to hold on & bite & do it again & again

·         Gesture = BIG

·         Strike repeatedly

·          as a warning or during an attack

·         Take a height &  come down

·         Like a bite

·         Toxin = neurotoxic… at site of bite , bite might not cause as much local death since fangs don’t go deep – but have brain death… MORE SYSTEMIC

·         Do not have pits

·         Fast moving with slow strike – so slow moving & then slowly hit

·         Amongst snake rxs - I like Elaps more than Vipers – they are open with the strike… they admit that they strike..

·         Don’t open full jaw –

·         Method – warn beforehand… will raise hood/ or might hit… like “don’t do this OK?”… 1, 2… OK…3 then attack

TURTLES

·         Easy going

·         Need for their own space – to withdraw into & no one can come into

·         Issues of deception/stealing

·         Own little shell

·         Withdrawing within the shell when there is danger

·         Needing to be in one’s own space

·         Slowness/sluggishness but a surefootedness

·         Slowness might not be in their reality… but in their sensation they might talk about being slow… when I’m in that state I like to be slow… so it’s slowness in sensation…

·         Stubborn

·         Reserved – can be very friendly

Talking fast… is about being anxious

CASE TAKING FOR CHILDREN

There are 3 age groups – ways of taking case depending on age group

·         0-3 – imp. To observe child… see if any peculiar behaviour & then relating this to the history that the mother has

·         3-6 – try to talk with child while parent in room… ask about complaint… ask them to draw complaint… & mother talk about it… then pick out one characteristic sx- e.g. colour/anger/ behaviour…. Then once have this narrowed down & child removed… & talk to mother & see if like mother/father… history of mother during pregnancy… relate this to one of parents or grandparents…  e.g. if issue around time… ask parents – which of you 2 has an issue re time.. look into fears/dreams/delusions…. Don’t let the parents speak over them… if they do get parents out of room!

·         6-12     - raise them to your level… give them a lot of respect… they have a lot of dreams… this is how I am/this is how I want to be… treat them as adults & then you will get them to talk – don’t need parents there… can come to kingdom & subspecies… in 60% can get rx from child… but usually have to get parent back in room to get particular rx..

CASE – CHILD

·         age 6

·         child drew picture of 2 children who were lost & can’t find their way home

·         couldn’t reach home

·         about reaching something

·         when you are in home then you’re safe

·         he was throwing snakes away… to make everyone safe

·         everyone got to go home & then safe

·         we are not with the story here… but we are in the pattern

·         in the child it is so much better to see the pattern… not so merged with story as in adults

·         we are always safe from the danger of animals once you get in house

·         so now we need to find from parents which of them has this “going in phenomena”

·         mother – I’m happy & safe… I need my space… I need it only for a minute… but I need it.. it’s my space & I need it

·         She had a tortoise…

·         Boy pt had t shirt – save the sealife with turtle on it!!

·         We asked him why he liked that T shirt & he said “everyone knows that my mum & me love turtles”

The father = pig… loves pigs… munching all the time…I love the way they go… snort. Snort… then mother said that our house is full of animals… different shapes… but actually only 2 types…. Pigs & turtles !! J

30-40% of time the species can be same as parents – e.g. turtle sane … but 40% of time… it can be different subspecies – e.g. Black Mamba / Elaps – son/father case… or it can be same series – e.g. Ferrum.. but different column…so it can be nearly close… E.g.  mother Staph… but daughter Act Spic… both Ranunc. Family… so different miasm… so can come extremely close…

CASE – wearing puma T shirt – sitting with all her power – she was leopard..

Reptiles – live very solitary… but only comes an issue with breeding

Mammals – live in groups – so territory more of an issue all the time
