The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Chronic case not getting resolved Page 3 of 3

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I had suggested some Bach flower remedies. Nobody had a thought on that
I also suggested Carcinocinum-1m (for extreme mania and fobia cases). that also no body has looked into.

Ok I have had a look over the case. The mental-emotional description is quite interesting. I have an issue with some of the other symptoms (generals), as the patient seem to answer them by using the suggestions given in the question, sometimes even the very first one. For me this makes the information unreliable and I won't use that kind of information.

I have seen a few sexual abuse cases like this. The obsession with masturbation , pornography and heightened sexuality is not unusual in such cases. However, even taking that into account, it is a striking and peculiar picture he paints.

Based on what you have given here, there are a few suggestions I can make.

First choice of remedy for me would be BUFO. Rubrics that support this are:

Lascivious
Avoids sight of people
Delusion body is ugly
Disposed to masturbate

*Desires solitude to practice masturbation* (Bufo, Ust)

Weeping easily
Obstinate
Suspicious
Shameless
Jealousy
Angers easily
Premature old age

The state of Bufo is a low one, they are prone to excessive indulgence in their base impulses. They find it hard to resist pleasure, especially sexual, so much so that they will choose masturbation and pornography over genuine relationships. Even the nature of the pornography suggests a very base interest in perversion (bestiality).

Kent says of this remedy

'Lack of control over the sexual longing'
'willing to abandon themselves to the lower things that are in the human race, to perverted practices and vices'


I would also be considering Hyoscamus as well. This is a remedy I have found frequently indicated in children that have been sexually molested, where the response is to become sexually promiscuous themselves.

Disposed to masturbate at every opportunity - Hyos is only
Disposed to masturbate in children

Hyos has the paranoia around molestation that appears during adolescence for him as well.

Other remedies I might explore would be Kali-brom, Usilago, Medorrhinum and Fluoric acid. Medhorrinhum does have all the hurry and anticipation.

I went though his story again. I feel Evocationer is spot on. This is a case of Bufo Rana.

Very interesting, I never came up with Bufo. Which repertory & MM are you using?

I rely on Boericke and my first choice was Staph because:

Very sensitive as to what others say about her.
Dwells on sexual matters; prefers solitude
Constipation
Especially after masturbation; persistent dwelling on sexual subjects
Worse; anger, grief, loss of fluids, masturbation, sexual excesses
Better; warmth, rest at night.

To top it all, its a Sycotic miasm, hence making Staph an even stronger contender.

Rishimba, Acid Phos was also tried but nothing worthwhile to report.

RP, we did look at Carc & bach flower but didn't look to be fitting the case.

I use Synthesis as my repertory, and I have an entire bookcase of materia medica! I use Reference Works on my laptop though as there are over 200 books in that program, including a large number of new provings and reprovings of old remedies.

For me, it is all about trying to focus on the most peculiar aspect of the case, and that seems to me best covered by an animal remedy, and Bufo seems very specific for the way in which he expresses this peculiarity.

Vithoulkas also has this to say about Bufo.

'has a marked effect on the skin'
'arousal of the lowest passions, the person becomes a slave to their sexual desires'
'excessive masturbation is practiced with no limits'
'causes impotence'
'a basic, unstoppable sexual urge will drive him to seek satisfaction under any circumstance'
'the only thing his mind is interested in is how to satisfy his sexual appetite'
'the frequency of the practice (of masturbation) can be so excessive as to exhaust the vitality'
'he laughs and cries very easily, and tends to cry a lot'
'fear of animals'
'angry outbursts if they cannot have what they want'
'acne appearing on the back, greasy skin, cracks, eczema, skin looks dirty, large boils, blisters, pustules'

I use Mercurius and work with Boericke mostly, sometimes referring to Kent when stuck and Boericke doesn't help.

Reading Kent on Bufo doesn't bring out any common rubrics to the case other than desire to masturbate.

I tend to stick to the old masters as with that I have pretty good success.

I have limited exposure to Sankaran and very little to Vithoulkas & Saine. Were I doing active practice of homeopathy I'd have a chance to verify their works first hand.

Having said that, since the obvious remedies have not cured the case hence I don't see any harm in trying Bufo although I am not convinced it fits the case.

Thanks, will keep you posted.

I have tested out the observations of a number of modern homoeopaths and have found them reliable. I certainly trust Drs Vithoulkas and Sankaran.

However there are a number of other references to this remedy scattered throughout our literature.

Allen's Encylopedia:

Fear of animals
Very sensitive disposition
Irritated and weeps about the merest trifle
Loss of smell
Pain in teeth excited by cold air, change of temperature
Swollen gums bleed easily
Extremely varied number of skin eruptions (warts, herpes, boils, abscesses, blisters etc etc)
Stoppage of the nose, sensation as if clogged up
Mucous descends from the nasal fossae into the throat
Constant inclination to hawk

Kent also lists Bufo in his Repertory for:

Indifference, apathy
Startles easily
Hearing impaired

I don't think anyone knows for sure what this patient needs. I just made a suggestion based on the symptoms given and the rubrics that came up.

As with any prescription, we will see what happens and then we can decide whether the remedy was suitable for him or not.

There were other suggestions I made as well. I am sure Fitness will let us know one way or the other.
