A Child 6 years old, born with strong hypotonia and
opisthotonus. She has problems with concentration and memory. Her mental
development is delayed (2) and because of that her entry to elementary school
is postponed for one year. She started falling down after tetanus vaccination.
The attacks of falling was so quick that she was not able to protect her face
by her hands, so she was always hurt after such episode that happens 2-3 times a
week. She also started stammering after the vaccination. I asked the mother to
describe the daughter in a way what she found as most characteristic for her.
Mother answered: My daughter is different than other children in a way that
every other children are changing according their experiences, they becoming
more and more like adults but my daughter is like angel; if somebody say her
something bad, she is just smiling and stayed untouched by this as if around
her there is invisible protection and nothing can touch her. She is like from
another world.
When I heard this, I gave her the remedy.
Follow-up: Second day after the remedy got fever 37,6 (never
had any fever before) and her collapsing states diminished entirely as well as
stammering. One month after the remedy the teacher from kindergarten called the
mother what happened with the child as her concentration improved significantly
as well as her memory. Before the remedy she was not able to understand the
difference between the bread and croissant. Her development became normal and
she went to school few months after. Now it is 2 and half year and she is doing
very well mentally and physically and attacks of falling to the ground and
stammering never come back again.
Summary for students of homeopathy:
When the mother came to me, I did not see the child and she described
to me her state. She stresses the falling as a main problem but even after 30
minutes I could not find any peculiarities of it and then ask her: Can you
describe me your daughter? And she asked: she is different, as an angel as from
another planet. I asked: can you describe me what do you mean exactly? She
answered: other children can learn from experiences, become more adult which
mean they learn how to lie if they know that this something that should don’t
do or when somebody hurt them, normal children start to be more careful or cry
or something but this is not the case with my daughter. She is still the same
as never been hurt, never lie, and never tells anything bad. Hearing this I
remember to George´s lecture when he described this state calling it INNOCENCE.
That is the meaning of this rubric. The most important remedy in that rubric is
Cicuta but there were no other symptoms and I asked: Has your daughter ever had
any convulsive disturbance and she answered: YES, the opisthotonus when she was
born. That was the confirmation for Cicuta that was given in 200C potency in
single dose.
Lesson coming from this case:
Our knowledge of remedies must be based on understanding of
what create the individuality each of them. What is genius of each remedy and
what is the main characteristics that differ it from other remedies.
Materia medica viva is the best Materia medica to gain this
knowledge.
