tom o'brien's List: remedies

• . C.  Majumdar (Ind. H. Rev., v. 134) gives two cases in which  loss of memory following masturbation and seminal  emissions was cured with Staph. 30: (1) A student, naturally robust and intelligent, lost his memory  when he contracted the habit of masturbation. His symptoms were: Vacant countenance; no  aptitude or inclination for mental work; despair of the future; great languor and weakness;  occasional nocturnal emission; constipation. When he read anything he forgot it the next  moment. Heaviness, headache, and vertigo after the least mental exertion. Staph. 30 was given morning and evening. Improvement began at  once and the cure was complete in a month. (2) Another  student had constant involuntary emissions, weak memory, languor; headache every morning on  rising; no appetite; constipation. Staph. 30, once a  day, cured. "Hypochondriasis, apathy; weak memory; caused by sexual excesses or  constantly dwelling on sexual subjects," is how the symptom is given. But the mental  state of Staph. need not necessarily have a sexual  origin. Staph. is a remedy for anger and for the effects  of anger, especially if the indignation cannot have its natural  expression. "Was insulted; being too dignified to fight, swallowed his  wrath, and went home sick, trembling and exhausted." The mental state of Staph., like its physical, shows great sensitiveness to the least  impression, "the least word that seems wrong, hurts her very much."

• Masi Elizalde explains that the dynamic nature of Calcarea   phosphorica is a conviction that one is the carrier   of good news and has the duty to communicate it to others.   The Calc Phos theme seemed to apply in this case, to the extent   that the patient reported being the carrier of a knowledge that   should save the world. Also, his mission was to disseminate it to   the public as widely as possible, for which purpose he had even   rejected his family. The conviction of possessing knowledge and   having to disseminate it was a constant in his life, manifested   before his philosophical-religious conversion ( through teaching   and literary activity.)
