QHD 2005 - Homeoxls

SANKARAN. This seminar presented his
philosophy and latest insights – that of ‘sensation’ –
which links the remedies within a particular plant
family. Previously he had concentrated on delusion
as a focal point.
‘Consider the Loganiaceae family, where the
main sensation is shock. The way in which this
shock is perceived and experienced will determine
which member of the family is indicated. Nux
vomica perceives the shock as something that must
be recovered from as quickly as possible (hence
symptoms such as ‘Anger from interruption’). This
attitude represents the Typhoid Miasm. So we find
that Nux vomica is the typhoid remedy of the
Loganiaceae. Gelsemium, on the other hand,
perceives shock as something that must be avoided,
so we have symptoms such as ‘Ailments from
anticipation’. In this case, the qualities of
avoidance and acceptance belong to the Sycotic
Miasm. Whereas Ignatia perceives shock as
something that must be controlled – a reaction
typical of the Cancer Miasm. This is an example of
how the various plant families can be differentiated
according to the quality of sensation (level 5),
rather than according to their delusion.’
Four cases are presented and Case 3 is
summarized as follows:
‘She talked repeatedly of accident and injury,
which suggests the Compositae family. The
sensation for the family is of being injured, hurt or
insulted, with a fear of being touched, hurt or
approached. The remedy of the acute Miasm in the
Compositae family is Arnica. Her experience was
at level 4 (delusion), so the potency given was 1M.’
A fascinating article which provides insight
into a great homœopath’s mind. See also ‘The
Depth of HOMŒOPATHY’. (R. SANKARAN,
Homoeopathic Links, 16:3, pp 165-167) in which
SANKARAN explains his thought. (The

XVII. Zirconium sulphuricum: a case by ALEX
P. The author, who has recently been working in
Torgau in the very building in which
HAHNEMANN lived and worked from 1805 to
1811, presents a case handled by a synthetic
remedy based on SCHOLTEN’s work.
This article is noteworthy because the patient is
profusely quoted and because of ALEX’s thoughts
on the chosen remedy, Zirconium sulphur. This
remedy is presented in Homœopathy and the
Elements (SCHOLTEN) but only as a short Dream
Proving. ALEX nicely justifies his thought and
remedy selection. (The Homeopath 2003; in

XVIII. Bluebell: a proving DEEKS S. The
British homeopath presents a proving of Agraphis
nutans 30 and 200 (Bluebell) on eight volunteers.
Though certainly incomplete the Proving: ‘….
Seemed to bring out images of sadness and grief,
along with a strong sense of fear and foreboding.
There was also an identification of trust as an
important theme in Agraphis nutans. In terms of
opposition or polarity, we can see a tension
between fear and trust; also between agitation and a
sense of calmness.’ ‘The general state of the
remedy is indicated by a desire to withdraw, and to
hide (Cooper’s amelioration from shelter). There is
a dislike of consolation or attention.’ (The
Homeopath 2003; in HOMEOPATHY 93, 1/2004)
XIX. Homœopathy and the quantum world –
why bother? MILGROM L. Some will argue
‘Why Bother?’, but the author shows us why he
does by creating associations between
Homœopathy and quantum models. He discusses
the memory of water linking it to cellular memory.
He helps in understanding the concept of nonlocality;
‘….everything in the universe is
inextricably and instantaneously linked to
everything else in a vast matter-energy network that
transcends ordinary notions of space and time. This
fundamentally new view of the world is called
‘entanglement’ or, more simply, ‘non-locality’.’
He talks of ‘complementarity’, mathematical
operations, weak quantum theory and suggests a
number of quantum metaphors for homeopathy:
‘By replacing the two entangled particles with the
patient and practitioner, the ‘handshake’ between
them results in the remedy. Through this metaphor,
I was able to develop quantum-theroretical
interpretations of such homœopathic phenomena as
aggravation (as incomplete entanglement), the
treatment of animals (as being ‘entangled’ with
their owners), and a concept of Miasms as
atemporal entities initiating and affecting dis-ease
processes in time. Thus, the concept of treating
Miasms could involve the strange notion of healing
in the past and the future, as well as in the present.’
Several of the 22 reference citings are
noteworthy, eg The Interpretation of Nature and
the Psyche (Jung and Pauli), The Non-Local
Universe: The New Physics and Matters of the
Mind (1999, Nadeau and Kafatos), and The
Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos
(1994, Waldrop). (The Homeopath 2003; in
