Reptilien (Schlangen) als Haustiere können Salmonellen übertragen!!!!
Grundsätzlich gelten Kinder unter fünf Jahren (...) als besonders gefährdet." Auch das Testen der Tiere auf Salmonellenbefall sei keine Lösung, sagt Veterinär Pees.
"Selbst wenn dabei einem Tier heute Salmonellen-Freiheit attestiert wird, kann es die Bakterien morgen schon wieder tragen", sagt der Tierarzt. "Reptilien haben nun mal Salmonellen, sie erkranken nicht daran, sondern brauchen sie womöglich sogar in ihrer Darmflora." Versuche, Reptilien mit Antibiotika salmonellenfrei zu bekommen, seien gescheitert. Die einzig wirksame Vorbeugungsmaßnahme für die Übertragung der Bakterien von Reptil zu Mensch sei, direkten und indirekten Kontakt zu vermeiden.
Zu Hause könne man Reptilien ausreichend sicher halten, wenn man die Hygieneregeln befolgt. "Aber im Kindergarten sollte man das nicht machen“.
Es sei kaum sicherzustellen, dass sich jedes Kind, das die Tiere anfasst, auch wirklich die Hände wäscht.

Reviews Reptiles by Frans Vermeulen.
The book is very comprehensive and includes crocodilians, dinosaurs, lizards,
snakes,
turtles, tortoises and worm lizards.
For the generations of homeopaths raised since 2004 on the staple, “The
New Synoptic One” (lovingly known as the Silver Book), Frans
Vermeulen is a go-to author when
they need to have a direct presentation of facts regarding homeopathic
remedies.
One after the other, Vermeulen’s books have
continued to inform, enlighten and enthrall the
readers and along the way, they have demystified the remedies.
Read a description of a remedy by one of the greatest masters, Kent, and
then read the same remedy by Vermeulen, and you will
understand the difference.
While Kent gave us the remedy picture in poetic prose, Vermeulen has given us the modern, bullet-point version of
the remedies in highly simplified language.
We can grasp the bullet points on the run, refer to the remedies quickly
and retain what we read without getting lost in the long sentences used by
homeopaths of the earlier centuries.
I am happy to bring you the news that Vermeulen
has continued with his masterful style in his new and latest book, simply
titled, “Reptiles”. A shimmering, green-eyed steel
gray snake and a green iguana are staring out of the hard cover to make
a point that the book is about reptiles.

What is the Psoric/Saurian (= reptilian) connection?
Both dragons. and serpents have skins covered in
scales; as does the individual suffering from psoriasis. However, in light of
this discussion, it intrigues me that the word psoriasis derives from the Latin
word for itch: psora, and has phonetic consonance with the Greek
word for lizard: sauros. Is there a connection; and,
if so, what is it?
The psoric miasm is
synonymous in our literature (among some) with “Original Sin” a term used among
early masters to describe our basic “flaw” as described by Hahnemann in §81 “Psora is the true fundamental cause and engenderer of
almost all … forms of disease…”. So (the oblique reference to the story of “The
Fall” in Genesis, not withstanding; but, keeping in mind that Eve’s apple was
probably a green one) oxytocin, due to the
association that it has with homeostasis and the pivotal role that it plays
during conception, birth and lactation in driving positive epigenetic outcomes
is, in my opinion, what drives Psora in its
compensated form.
Because we focus on disease, Psora is
traditionally associated in homeopathic philosophy with: hypo-function; lack;
weakness and an empty, all-gone feeling. All of these are the generally
accepted keynotes of Psora, and relate to functional
disturbance on a cellular level and this is what precedes pathological change
if homeostasis is not restored.
In that regard, Psora is recognised as the
primary (fundamental) miasm and I think that
Hahnemann got it right when he nominated but three miasms
and Joe Rozencwajg (interestingly proposes that these
three miasms are not so much about the epigenetic
imprint of grand diseases, but rather more about the three basic human
metabolic pathways of homeostasis (Psora), anabolism
(Sycosis) and catabolism (Luesis).
This is a perspective with which I agree. Psora,
in its oxytocin-moderated compensated form, enables
the individual to maintain balance (homeostasis), while Sycosis (which is driven by adrenalin, nor-adrenalin and cortisol; all antagonists to oxytocin)
has an anabolic function. That is, it helps us to “grow” if we’re prepared to
face up to life’s challenges and fight them.
In a practical sense a little bit of Sycosis
serves us well and possibly allows us to find success in the minutiae of daily
living, whereby we’re “up” for the fight and can well attend to Maslow’s lower
order priorities.
Furthermore, if we accept that the catabolic pathway is associated with Luesis, it is possibly driven by insulin. It’s the lock and key hormone
which can underpin “mature onset……”pathology when the telomeres shorten and all
bodily systems degrade as the time for transitioning from Life approaches. On
the one hand, we associate Luesis
with death and destruction; but, on the other hand, it is also about
breaking through and regeneration. For those who acknowledge the process of
reincarnation, it is possibly insulin which rules over the final “choice”; that
of being offered the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven or of being locked out such
that the soul/vital force needs to do it all again.
And so, the business of doing Karma is a bit like that of the snake that
needs to grow another skin in order to live another day. When one is done with
“the lessons”
the “higher purpose of existence” is attainable. The serpent, therefore,
probably does not hold the answer to immortality (self-realisation) but ties us
to the pathway leading
to reincarnation. The reptilian energy (fight/flight; focused on
survival only) is essentially sycotic so the shadow is where it best lies; it eschews the
light.
Adaptation in evolutionary terms is associated with the instinct to
preserve the genes; to survive. So, traces of our genetic heritage are always
going to be part of our current makeup. And, while on one level Psora is possibly corrupted by a saurian genetic tag
associated with our reptilian evolutionary origins, it is possibly that tag
which drives reptilian behaviour during the primal period where reproductive
practices tend to circumvent the oxytocic pathway
leading to the production of offspring with a dearth
(= Mangel) of oxytocin
receptors, bereft of a suitable microbiome, and
caught up in the grip of Sycosis.
I believe Psora can be our ally if, as a
species, we embrace the oxytocic agenda and conceive, birth and nourish our offspring as
Nature intends, such that the negative attributes of hypo-function and lack
will be balanced out. Furthermore, if we acknowledge that, since oxytocin is a direct antagonist to the stress hormones, we
will
(when oxytocin receptors have been adequately
established during the primal period), derive maximal benefit from the positive
attribute of ebullience which allows us to
fully engage in Life. This makes sense when we acknowledge that an
“itch” is just as likely to refer to a sense of dissatisfaction with the
status-quo. So, if we trust in our
ability to make good choices when guided by a sense of curiosity, and
are prepared to keep up the struggle to be Human, and the desire for positive
social engagement
which encourages us to “Seek so that we might find” we can fulfil the
dictates of §9.
Enlightenment is an interesting word. It is a state of “being” arrived
at as a consequence of good choices and implies that you’ve attained Wisdom and
figured it out; you’ve moved from the shadow into the light. And as the
songster-poet Leonard Cohen so exquisitely explained to us: “There is a crack
in everything…that’s how the light gets in”, using the positive attributes of Psora will facilitate self-realisation; and this is possible
when Psora is well-modulated
as a consequence of acquiring maximal oxytocin
receptors due to being born and mothered well.
Keep in mind that primates lactate for six times the gestation rate. So,
when humans have access to the maternal breast for such an extended period and
wean when they
are ready, they are best able, according to Erikson’s Schema, to engage
in Life from a position of Trust and Autonomy as a consequence of having
resolved Life’s initial two crises in a satisfactory (i.e. positive) psoric manner. When the infant has not been able to get
established on the psoric tread of “The Stairway to
Heaven” then he is consigned to the shadow of Sycosis
and the luetic miasm will
greet him at the end of his days and the reincarnation pathway, instead of the
ascension pathway, becomes his only option.
“The Author of all good, when He allowed diseases to injure His
offspring, must have laid down a means by which those torments might be lessened
or removed.” (Hahnemann Lesser Writings)

Offene Konfrontation
Strategisches Denken, Raffinesse, psychologische Kriegsführung und das Überraschungsmoment, aber auch das Gefühl von Einsamkeit und Isolation, verweisen in diesem Fallbeispiel auf die Gruppe der Reptilien.
[Jörg Wichman]
Als Nachkommen der Dinosaurier bilden die Reptilien mit den Vögeln die gemeinsame Gruppe der Sauropsida. Die Kriechtiere haben dabei die aufstrebende Kraft ihrer Vorfahren verloren, ihre Sinne sind auf die unmittelbare Wahrnehmung der nahen Umgebung beschränkt, vor der sie sich wegen ihrer mangelhaften Temperaturanpassung schützen müssen.
In der Homöopathie assoziiert man mit dieser Gruppe vor allem grundlegende Überlebensinstinkte des als Reptiliengehirn bezeichneten Stammhirns. Wer eine Arznei aus der Klasse der Reptilien benötigt, hat meist nur wenige, aber klare soziale Kategorien: Feind, Beute, Konkurrent, Sexualpartner. Geht es um Hierarchie, Bewertung, Anerkennung, Familiensinn oder Herdentrieb geht, denken wir eher an andere homöopathische Arzneigruppen.

What
do reptiles have in common? Reptiles are coldblooded. This gives them a
distinct disadvantage compared to other creatures. Unlike mammals, reptiles are
not able to sustain exertion in order to escape from a predator or pursue a
prey. Being coldblooded, they are not able to generate heat and need to come
out in the open to bask in the sun.
So what survival strategy do they adopt?
Each reptile adopts its own unique survival pattern, yet reptiles in common are
often hidden, camouflaged and rely upon sudden and surprise attack.
We
know that all reptiles have underlying feelings of needing to remain concealed,
being at a disadvantage, hidden violence, sudden change of form, attacking from
a hidden position, deception, violence, etc. Each order will have different
shades or gradations of these themes. There could be a very strong prominence
of one feature, where it
completely stands out.
Reptilien waren die ersten Landwirbeltiere mit einer vom Wasser unabhängigen Fortpflanzung. Die Embryonalentwicklung geht in einer schützenden, fruchtwassergefüllten Eihülle (dem Amnion.) vonstatten, was sie von Amphibien und Fischen unterscheidet.
For
example in testudines the feeling of being defenceless and weak is very strong
and then we see the need to retract inside their protective shell. This will
differentiate them
from
snakes, crocodiles
and lizards. Snakes, being limbless, also feel at a disadvantage, but they have
their own characteristic ways of attack/defence i.e. by being venomous or by
constriction. Lizards are more adept in being agile, alert
and to stun their predator by suddenly changing their behavior
by changing color or amputating their tail (autotomy) etc.; and crocodiles are specialised by their
sudden burst of violent activity from a completely silent position.
We
can understand that reptiles have evolved into an impressive spectrum of shapes
and sizes: from the shell-covered turtles and tortoises, to the long, sinuous
snakes,
to
the swiftly moving lizards, to the heavy bodied crocodiles; along with a wide
variety of strategies to survive.
Here
their characteristics:
Tortoises,
turtles and terrapins (Testudines): About 313
species/Scales modified into a shell/Four legs/no teeth/instead horny beak
which covers their jaw.
Turtles live near or under water.
They only come onto the land to lay eggs and to the surface of the water to
breathe.
Tortoises (sometimes called land turtles) live
on land.
The land-based tortoises pull their head, legs
and tail into the shell for protection.
The aquatic turtles, with their compromised
ability to pull inside the shell, either snap or slide into the water, or swim
away swiftly.
No
parental care of young. Highly sexual.
Long, powerful tails and short legs.
A
unique body form that allows them to be suspended in water - partly hidden and
submerged, except for their eyes and nostrils which are exposed.
Nest attendance and parental care of young is
commonly seen.
Territoriality. Stronger male dominates and
fights aggressively for dominance and mating rights.
Terrifying ability to explode into sudden
violent
Activity
- completely unexpected in such an otherwise lethargic-seeming creature. Lie-in-wait,
ambush predators.
Snakes: About 2700 species.
More
active in cooler temperatures than other reptiles. Come out from their burrows
at night to feed on insects and other small animals.
Limbless,
though some have remnants of tiny legs near their tails. No eyelids or ear
openings.
They
have an immovable covering of transparent scales which protects the eyes.
Active
foraging or camouflage and ambush attack. Cannot tear, can only bite or
constrict. Swallow prey whole, headfirst, then retreat to a safe place to
digest slowly.
Some
snakes can dislocate jaws to swallow prey larger than they themselves are.
Most
dangerous are the venomous and constrictor. Strikes are fast and accurate.
Distract
an onlooker’s attention, enlarging throat flaps to bluff or appear bigger than
they are, etc.
These
visual signals include aggression between rival males and courtship rituals
between the sexes. limbless, though some have remnants of tiny legs near their
tails/skin
covered
with platelike, tubercular, or flat scales that can
be overlapping or juxtaposed.
No
eyelids or ear openings/an immovable covering of transparent scales which
protects the eyes. Active foraging or camouflage and ambush attack.
Cannot
tear, they can only bite or constrict/swallow prey whole, headfirst, and then
retreat to a safe place to digest the meal lowly. Some snakes can dislocate
jaws to
swallow
prey larger than they themselves are.
Most dangerous are the venomous and
constrictor. Strikes are fast and accurate.
Lizards: Most lizards have four legs,
while some are limbless.
Stun
their prey, shake vigorously, bite and tear. Able to catch fast-moving prey/are
fast-moving (most species) and agile.
Characteristics
of locomotion-ability to cling to vertical surfaces.
Communication
through highly stereotyped behavior – using colors (camouflage or enhancing colors)
and various body morphology (tail autotomy to
distract an onlooker’s
attention,
enlarging throat flaps to bluff +/o. appear bigger than they are).
These
visual signals include aggression between rival males and courtship rituals
between the sexes.
Amphisbaenians: resemble the worms, with no limbs in most species
or very small front legs, but have annular scales. Inhabit underground tunnels
and burrows.
Specialized
for underground hearing.
Tears
off chunks of flesh from prey by spinning body while gripping with mouth. Can
move in both directions.
Crocodiles,
alligators, caimans and gharials (Crocodylia):
About 23 species/Large bodies with bony, plate-like armor
in the skin along their backs.
Heavy, powerful, and expandable jaws, lined
with pointed teeth capable of killing.
Hold prey underwater until it drowns, drag it
away eating by tearing off large pieces by rolling it in what is called the
crocodile “death roll”.
Tuataras
(Sphenodontida/Rhynchocephalia)
Two
species found on island off coast of New Zealand. More active in cooler
temperatures than other reptiles.
Come
out from their burrows at night to feed on insects and other small anima.
Species
have dwindled to two, possibly due to losing competition with true lizards
during later Mesozoic era and onwards.
Active
at night; spend days in burrow or basking at burrow entrance.
