The actinides, when transformed into homeopathic
potencies, are remedies of our times, where life seems to be speeding up and
old established systems are falling apart.
Being at the far end of the periodic table, with the
inherent tendency to decay, the Actinides correspond to the approach of death,
the release of the physical state, the transition from the
material realm into the realm of energy. In their
raw state, the actinides, or radioactive elements, have an immense capacity for
destruction, either by inducing genetic mutation and (fatal) illness,
or from the effects of nuclear weapons or fallout
from nuclear plants. The destruction can take place at an unprecedented level,
as in the case of nuclear weapons, where a few powerful people
have the decisive power to wipe out entire cities
within moments. The damage can also have far reaching effects both in space and
time, with winds carrying radioactivity far from the original
site, and illnesses occurring long after the
event. The insidious nature of radioactivity becomes apparent in illnesses
where the origin is often untraceable, showing up only years later as
deep-seated illnesses of, for instance, the bone marrow and the blood.
Conversely, the actinides also have the capacity to bring about healing, in the
form of radiation therapy and as homeopathic remedies.
The states requiring Actinide remedies are
powerfully charged. Actinides’ patients can feel fragile and unstable, in a
continuous state of chaos and threatened disintegration. Physically, there can
be severe pathologies or malformations, often genetic. The person may feel like
they are living in a wasteland, between life and death, as might in fact be the
case.
Emotionally, the situation can be equally charged,
with the person talking of “exploding”, “falling apart” or “crumbling”. The
ailments can stem from an unknown source, events that may have taken place long
ago or far away, perhaps in previous generations or past lives. This can
include the results of overwhelming violence, that which has shattered someone
to the
core. There can be a sense of carrying the “sins
of the fathers”, and a need to compensate by being of great service to mankind.
While those in an Actinide state who are ruled by
their shadow can cause untold harm to others, those who have delved deep into
their unconscious, in their search for transformation can be the “wounded
healer” for others, with capacities that are not restricted by time or space.
Clairvoyance is not uncommon among Actinide people, as is the desire, and the
ability, to heal with energy, often from a distance. This highly charged state
requires an enormous vigilance for the person, in order to maintain their
physical and emotional well-being, involving times of quiet, solitude, and
often a spiritual practice. Many of the actinides explode when exposed to air,
so immersion in water (baths) is also necessary and helpful. They often need to
be careful around electronic equipment, as it may malfunction in their
presence: computers break down, wrist watches stop, and even glass is known to
shatter. Relationships can also be volatile.
On the other hand, there can be wisdom far beyond
one’s years, evident even in small children who have the capacity to “counsel”
their parents.
In these times, our world is facing “Actinides’
circumstances”. We have discovered the potential of the radioactive substances,
both for good and for harm. We are like the sorcerer’s apprentice, knowing a
little about power and magic, but nevertheless capable of destroying ourselves
by lack of wisdom. We are rapidly depleting our resources and polluting the
very earth that sustains us. Our capacity for inflicting destruction on each
other has never been so great and yet, more and more people are seeking a deep
and true healing, delving into themselves and transforming their own lives into
channels of awareness, for themselves and for the world at large. The
Actinides, in their correspondence with these extreme states, are able to help
many take this transformative step. In this, they are similar to the
Lanthanides, with which they are often confused, and also to the gem remedies.
Just as with the actinides in their material form, however, the Actinide
remedies require cautious use. With their ability to work at a very deep level,
they usually need very little repetition; over-application and injudicious use
can in fact prove harmful.
Margriet Plouvier-Suijs shares her extensive
experience of the Actinide remedies. She has learned to recognise these states
not only in The Last Series their severe forms, but in their subtle earlier
manifestations as well, so that we can learn to prescribe these remedies before
someone becomes so disastrously ill. She has included cases from other
colleagues as well, broadening our
knowledge and experience of these remedies.
“The Last Series of the Periodic Table“
The Actinides belong to the 7th series of the
periodic table. Jan Scholten uses the word Uranium Series in his book
«Homeopathy and the Elements ».
Francium and Radium are the first two elements of
the 7th series. Actually these two elements don’t belong to the Actinides; they
differ chemically.
Actinium is the 3rd element in the series;
Actinium has element number 89. The elements numbered 89 (Actinium) up to103
(Lawrencium) are Actinides.
In summary the themes of the series in Jan Scholten’s book.
Archetype: the testifier, the joker, the clown,
the lightning conductor, the prophet
Congenital deviations, genetic deviations.
*The hidden camera
Jan Scholten has literally dis-covered the
Lanthanides for us; as homeopathic remedies they were previously unknown. In
Boericke there is only one: Cerium oxalicum.
In Jans book «Secret Lanthanides» he explains the
main theme of the Lanthanides, which is autonomy. Other themes are searching,
going deep, reflection. I would like to add analysis and thinking
to the themes he describes.
People who need Actinides do not use analysis. Whatever
they observe is transparent; they know, insight and overview is there at the
same moment. For that reason I compare this observing with the use of a hidden
camera.
Observing is pure and objective.
These qualities of observation we learn in our profession
as therapists. For practising homeopathy Hahnemann recommends this objective
observation. In our profession it is a quality, but in daily life this quality
can cause big problems. In daily life this objective observation of how people
deal with each other can be a painful difficulty because of the sense of
liability.
Again and again the question comes up: ‘what to do
with the insight, the overview and knowing?’ If all the tricks and playing
games in human behaviour are transparent, how should we react?
The only way to live with this quality is to
improve compassion.
Aetiology: the broken mirror
Children are most illustrative in showing the
picture of Actinides. There is usually an aetiologic moment in their life. I
call this moment: ‘breaking the mirror’.
Development in the first year of life:
Rapidly after birth the baby has eye contact with
one of the parents, usually with some kind of recognition. From that first eye
contact the baby uses ‘imitating mimicry’. The parent and the baby reflect each
other. Initially the child identifies itself in this mirroring face.
At the age of nine months the child is able to
distinguish faces and indicates its preference, this is the period of timidity.
The child develops the ability to remember the favourite face and give it
a name, Mummy, Daddy. Thanks to memory the child
becomes aware of more than one face at the same time, mummy and daddy. This is
the awareness of the triangle: father, mother and child.
Up to that time the child was one unit with the
mother. In the unity communication is non-verbal. At the time the child is
aware of the triangle, it begins to talk. Thanks to the awareness of
the triangle the child will recognise his own
individuality. At the age of three years the child uses the word ‘I’ for
himself. At the same age the milk teeth are complete, the fontanel is closed,
the child is able to jump (on the ground) and he
says “I”: I want and I don’t want.
In the course of the first years everything the
child does is learned by imitation. In that mirror it recognises itself. When,
however, there is a dramatic event in those early years and the parents cannot
handle the situation, the mirror can be broken. From that moment on the child
will no longer imitate the parents.
At that moment Opium or Aconitum or another remedy
layer can come or cover up.
The Actinide
If the remedy that is needed is an Actinide,
something else will happen at the moment of the dramatic event. Let us look at
the moment of the first eye contact between mother and child; this is the
moment of recognition. We are able to recognise someone we used to know in a
former life. If we, as human beings, reincarnate it is possible that the mother
recognises the newborn child and vice versa. Sometimes the reincarnation is one
of an old soul. At the moment of a dramatic event, the moment the parents are
not able to handle the situation, the reincarnated part of the child takes the
lead in the child’s life. The personality that learns ‘’how to do’’ by
imitating others, babies-instinct, will disappear. From that moment on the
identity of that wise old person awakens in the child.
That person will help the parents to return to
normal, but afterward it is possible that this state continues in the child.
This is visible in the social behaviour and in the language the child uses.
New words heard by him or her are immediately used
in the correct context. For instance; a mother said to her two-year-old
daughter: “You shouldn’t show off,” and the little girl answered:
“No, actress, no!” The disadvantage for the child
in this condition is that his childish expression disappears; for the mother it
is not appropriate to have this wise guy on her lap.
After the correct use of the Actinide remedies for
these children they regain their childish behaviour.
In the history of adults who need an Actinide, I
have seen this trauma in their childhood and the disadvantage of growing up in
such a state. As infant or toddler they lost contact with their own inner
child. They have no experience of quarrelling or standing up for themselves.
The ‘wise elder person’ inside them did not allow that kind of childish
behaviour. For adults the correct application of an Actinide ‘brings the child
back’ to life. From that moment on a process develops in which there is the growing
of a resistance, like children during early childhood.

Radium
Strictly speaking Radium isn’t one of the
Actinides. It stands at 2nd place in the seventh series of the periodic table.
Marie Curie-Sklodowska discovered the element in 1898. The element was
extracted from pitchblende. Before Radium, she extracted Thorium from
pitchblende, but Gerardt Schmidt in Berlin, who published about it 2 months
before, had already discovered this element.
Radium is known for different purposes: as well as
for radiotherapy,
Radium is used in drinking and bathing water.
Other exotic examples are: an electric blanket impregnated with Radium, a radioactive
corset to treat rheumatoid arthritis and even more extreme:
a remedy made from an extract of monkey testicles
and Radium to cure impotency. Radium is found in cosmetic creams as well.
The effect of the radiation by Radium on the skin
was obvious very quickly: erythema, redness of the skin as if it was burnt,
then healed spontaneously, leaving a depigmented scar. The handling of Radium
sources caused the skin to burn on the fingertips, finally leading to
carcinoma. Except for Pierre Curie, who died in an accident, all the people
working with radioactive elements in those days died from malignant diseases.
In 1950 Radium was progressively replaced by
artificial radioisotopes e.g. iridium 192, caesium 137, cobalt 60, iodine 125.
Radium has been abandoned for radiation protection difficulties.

Truth: never take anything for granted
Communication, listening: careful communication,
reserved while listening
They communicate very carefully. A topic will be
introduced, but they leave it to the partner in the discussion to take it or to
do something about it. They seek the contact and abandon it, as if every word
that might be said would be too much. They are insecure in communication and
they let the other speak. They listen, but while listening they cover
themselves. They follow the story smoothly, trying not to show themselves. As
if it might burn their fingers.
Wisdom, reflection, trust: too insecure to trust
They have wisdom, but they don’t dare to show it.
They don’t dare to trust.
Wisdom expresses itself by confirmation: it seems
as if they know every situation that people can be in. Therefore in a
conversation it is possible to discuss every subject. They appreciate others
because of what they express, but they are withdrawing themselves.
To observe, to perceive: doubting about the
observation
The uncertainty of stage 2 is expressed by
withdrawing. As a bystander they don’t mix in the situation because they feel
uncertain; they prefer to be the observer.
Overview, transparency: never take anything for
granted
They do recognise the motivations of the behaviour
of others as well as of themselves, but they continuously need to test their
own analysis. Even what they learn from others, is tested. This is how they
seek continual confirmation, still trying not to show themselves or their own
opinion and ideas.
Sensitivity, sympathy, compassion: keeping silence
They are very sympathetic, knowing and being able
to feel the emotions that fit the circumstances. They try to put their emotion
on the other, because they are too uncertain to show it themselves.
Universal truth: keep silence
They are uncertain about the difference between
their own interest and the general interest. They do not clearly state that
there is a general interest; it remains unspoken. Others criticise them for not
making things clear and this confuses them.
Old age, grandparent
All of this mainly fits old age. At the end of
life people are experienced, which makes them able to relativise, contemplate
and let it be. Like a grandparent they withdraw. They don’t intercede.
