‡ The skin
of fly agaric with the intense red colour which belongs to this part of the
plant only thus has special medicinal significance, for we can see the red
colouring as part of the struggle against astral influences.
Initially we may therefore speak of the
following area of use for Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra:
damage to and deterioration of the most
peripheral, membranous parts of the brain due to wrong astral influences as is the case with
meningitic irritation syndromes, meningitis and its sequels. Use of red skin of
fly agaric encourages vitalization and regeneration of damaged nerve tissue.
Use is by injection via the rhythmical organism, as this is particularly
appropriate for restoring harmony between astral body and ether body.
Historically, the sole use of the red
fly agaric skin rather than of the whole fungus does not go back
directly to R.S. It does, however, arise
quite naturally if we study his words. Agaricus muscarius Cutis rubra was first
mentioned as a preparation in the 10th edition of the Weleda List in
1968. An undated note by
Dr Karl Nunhoefer(1904 – 1988) refers to
it as a “first-class medicament for meningeal irritation and the sequels of
meningitis if given exclusively in the 30x.” ‡
R.S.: ‡ Fungi are old
“plants” in evolutionary sense. Special affecting the head organism. “For
anything pathological in the head we must look for medicines a long way back in
the evolution of the natural world, that is, something which reminds us of
early natural processes, for instance among the fungi. Their present-day imperfect
configuration as plant is, as it were, recapitulating past plant development.
Or we may look to the algae and lichens or to the roots of perfect plants,
roots being the part remaining from earliest times”.
Elsewhere
R.S. said “Fungi relate closely to all problems that are like headaches. Fungi
relate (soul) quality of thinking a lot about things, living in the psyche in a
way that one does not need much from the outside
world but
pumps (sucks?) everything out of oneself.
One will
find that this inner quality which points in essence to the fungi, relates very
closely to all problems that have headache character. This will guide us to
relationships between fungi and headache type conditions”.
Poisonous
fungi can make nerve tissue capable of regeneration. They are differentiated
into those with warty caps like Amanita bulbosis (= Agaricus bulbosis) which
act more in the direction of the inner parts of nerve tissue.
R.S.: poisonous fungi altogether have the ability to regenerate the
ability of tissues to regenerate.
Fungi with
warty caps should be used more for actions towards periphery. Fungi with smooth
caps could also be used for the inner part of the brain.
Fungi
develop when the cosmic astrality influencing earth’s forces does not exhaust
itself in developing the flowers of plants above ground level but penetrates
further to just above soil level.
Algae and
Fungi are the plants which are wholly immersed in the interactions between air
and watery element.
The
peculiarity is that these plants have a powerful affinity to Sulphur, which is
present everywhere in small amounts - in the watery element and also in the
element air. These plants are suitable for restoring harmony between the astral
body and the ether body.
A relatively high potency acts on the neurosensory system.

of fly agaric with the intense red colour which belongs to this part of the

Note
Historically, the sole use of the
red fly agaric skin rather than of the whole fungus does not go back directly
to Rudolf Steiner. It does, however, arise quite naturally if we study his
words.
Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra was
first mentioned as a preparation in the 10th edition of the Weleda
List in 1968.
An undated note by Dr Karl Nunhoefer
(1904 – 1988) refers to it as a “first-class medicament for meningeal irritation
and the sequels of meningitis if given exclusively in the 30x.”
Abstract
A well-proven medicament made from
the red skin of fly agaricus
References to fungi made by R.
Steiner cast light on the rationale for its clinical use based on the anthroposophical
view of the human being. Use in the treatment of
meningeal signs and sequels of
meningitis is illustrated by case records.
Keywords:
Fly agaric:
Meningitis
Meningeal signs
Vital meningitis
Neural tissue
Amanita muscaria fungi with warty
caps should be used more for actions towards the periphery, those with smooth
caps could also be used for the inner part ... The Agaricus bulbosus injections
resulted in marked improvement in the ability to walk and powers of speech in
the autumn”.
The next two case histories
demonstrate this important distinction which is so important in practice.
A case of brain fever (probably
meningitis or meningoencephalitis) with sequels was reported in R. Steiner and I.
Wegman’s first Letter to Physicians. The advice was to give fly agaric
injections in the 30x, and ensure that a confident, cheerful mood prevailed
after the injection.
Fly agaric (warty cap) was suggested
because the action was to be on neural tissues in the brain that were more to
the outside, peripheral.
In case record No, 69 in the
Degenaar collection, Rudolf Steiner suggested treating a patient with
Parkinson’s disease which had followed epidemic encephalitis, with injections
of Agaricus bulbosus (smooth cap), as strong as possible. In this case, the aim
was regeneration of more centrally located brain tissue.
To help us understand the
preparation Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra, we must once more consider the
development of fungi, as Rudolf Steiner described it in “Anthroposophical
Spiritual Science and Medical Therapy”.
Fungi develop where the cosmic
astrality influencing earth’s forces does not exhaust itself in developing the
flowers of plants above ground level but penetrates further,
to just above soil level. Fungi then
result. Development of the colour red is a counter action to this excessive
astralization. ‘Wherever reddening occurs in a natural process,
we have powerful action against
astralization”. The skin of fly agaric with the intense red colour which
belongs to this part of the plant only thus has special medicinal significance,
for we can see the red colouring as part of the struggle against astral
influences.
Initially we may therefore speak of
the following area of use for Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra: damage to and
deterioration of the most peripheral, membranous parts of the brain due to
wrong astral influences as is the case with meningitic irritation syndromes,
meningitis and its sequels. Use of red skin of fly agaric encourages
vitalization and regeneration of damaged nerve tissue. Exhibition is by
injection via the rhythmical organism, as this is particularly appropriate for
restoring harmony between astral body and ether body.
“Algae and fungi are the plants
which are wholly immersed in the interactions between air and watery element.
The peculiarity is that these plants have a powerful affinity to the sulphur
which is today present everywhere in small amounts—in the watery element and
also in air. This means that these plants, if brought into the rhythmical
organism, are particularly suitable for restoring harmony between the astral
body and the ether body.”
Exhibition of a relatively high
potency (30x) directs the action mainly to the neurosensory system.
Case histories relating to Agaricus
muscarius, Cutis rubra 30x
Girl age 12 VThe girl was brought to
the practice because of a rapidly rising temperature and severe headache. The
problem had started two days earlier, with persistent cough going so far as
making her vomit. Clinical examination:
showed normal throat, auscultation
of the lungs also n.a.d. The girl was listless in general, with communication
distinctly slowed down. She repeatedly stressed the violent headache located in
the back of the neck. Neurological examination showed that the chin could not
be lowed down to the sternum, and in the absence of inflammatory parameters in
laboratory tests which was considered to be meningism with virus infection.
A single dose of Agaricus muscarius,
Cutis rubra 30x was given by injection and the girl kept in the practice for 3
hours’ observation. After about two hours, the headache grew less and the
temperature went down.
The girl was distinctly more lively
and asked for something to eat and to drink.
After the three hours the back of
the neck was fully mobile again, with no sign of meningism. The patient was
sent home with Silicea comp., 10 pilules t.d.s. The temperature continued to go
down and by the next day the patient was practically symptom-free.
The mother brought her 4-year-old to
the practice because he had been
febrile, tired and lacking in energy for a day. He also had a headache which
improved for a time following exhibition of Belladonna 6x but got much <
again a few hours later. On examination the boy’s general condition was found
to be poor, with the skin of his face reddened. He did respond and said he had
great pain in the whole of his head. Temperature 40º C. Final stage of
meningism (stiff neck). Brudzinski’s sign positive.
Clinically no focus of infection
could be found.
The diagnosis was virus infection
with meningeal irritation. One ampoule each of Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra
30x and Quartz 30 were injected and the boy was admitted to hospital for
further observation. Two hours later his temperature was down and he showed no
sign of meningism; discharge on the same day.
Check-up by family physician the
next day showed n.a.d.
The child was brought by his mother
because of acute pyrexia and frontal headache. His general condition was
distinctly poor.
Larynx reddened, tonsils enlarged,
with pustules and whitish coating. Final stage of meningism with neck pain.
Eardrums and auscultation of lungs showed n.a.d.
Virus infection with tonsillitis and
meningeal irritation syndrome was diagnosed and one ampoule of Agaricus
muscarius, Cutis rubra 30x given by s.c. injection.
He was also given one ampoule of
Argentum nitricum 20x by mouth.
The headache improved within an hour
with this treatment and the temperature was going down. The tonsillitis was
then successfully treated with Apis/Belladonna 6x/6 pilules and Glycerinum
comp. as a gargle.
The mother came and spoke to the
physician as her daughter had developed an acute high temperature, headache and
stiff neck. A domiciliary visit showed the girl to be somnolent, with meningis.
Ten minutes afters.c. injection of one ampoule of Agaricus muscarius, Cutis
rubra 30x together with one ampoule of Argentum 30x in the high meningism was
no longer in evidence.
Her mind was getting clearer and her
responses were livelier. Her mother watched her through the night, ready to
telephone if necessary. The next morning she said that the headache and
temperature had gone and the child was able to bend her head down to her chest
without problem. A remaining dry cough was treated with Infludoron®.
Three days later the temperature
rose to 39.6 ºC again, diarrhoea, mild headache, general condition continuing
to be good. Another two days later otitis media, treated by giving Pulsatilla
and Levisticum in addition. The girl continued in good health after this and
was only seen in the practice again five months later, but for another reason.
The patient had bacterial meningitis
which had developed from sinusitis. In spite of the usual conventional medical
treatment she had suffered severe headache for days. One ampoule of Agaricus
muscarius, Cutis rubra 30x was injected between the shoulder blades on the 4th
day, with rapid improvement within 8 hours (< pain and in alertness).
The patient had had meningitis stage
2. From her 20th year, severe migraines had been a recurrent
problem. At age 28, erythema migrans and 6 months later neuroborreliosis with
burning pain in the extremities, visual problems and paraesthesia. She had had
antibiotics for 3 months but there were residual problems. Following a change
of address and a taking up a new job these grew worse, (clouding of
consciousness and blocks in thinking). The patient was afraid that the
borreliosis might be reactivated and reacted with depression. She had refused
further antibiotics.
The patient came to see me for a
first consultation at this time. She complained of dysaesthesia in hands and
feet, a clouded mind, feeling of being absent, and dreamlike states affecting
her concentration and performance at work. She was given Scorodite 30x, one
ampoule s.c. 3x a week and Agaricus muscarius 6x combined with Arnica planta
tota 30x, one ampoule each s.c. 3x a week, as well as Ledum palustre 3x and
Stibium 6x by mouth. Symptoms did not satisfactorily improve over the next two
weeks and treatment was therefore modified. In view of past meningitis,
Agaricus muscarius 6x was replaced with Agaricus muscarius Cutis rubra 30x, and
the Scorodite with Dyscrasite 20x.
The symptoms improved within a week
after this change.
All that remained were circumscribed
paraesthesias. The feeling of numbness had also decreased greatly; all that
remained was great tiredness. Although the mind was still slightly clouded, the
patient was resuming work as a journalist. Two months later, the Dyscrasite was
discontinued and injections reduced to Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra 30x 2x a week for a total of six
months.
Discussion of the case histories
Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra 30 D
was used to treat acute meningeal irritation syndrome and postmeningitic
symptoms. It was always given by injection, which was not
a problem even with children.
Improvement was very rapid if not instant in every case, which is typical of
this medicine. The main indication were R. Steiner’s words in Degenaar Case
History No. 69: “Poisonous fungi can make [nerve] tissue capable of
regeneration again.
Agaricus muscarius, and others with
warty caps, to be used to act more towards the periphery ...”.
It served to counteract inflammatory
degradation of the peripheral meninges.
In 3 out of 4 cases, the medicament
was not used alone but together with another one (Quartz 30x, Argentum nitricum
20x, Argentum 30x). No such impressive improvement was, however, seen with
Quartz or Argentum on their own in similar cases. Agaricus muscarius, Cutis
rubra is therefore responsible for the effective action. Experience gained
elsewhere with Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra 30x given on its own
substantiate this.
In the last case history given,
Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra was also used concurrently with another product
(Dyscrasite) to treat postmeningitic state. The typical, rapid improvement must
here, too, be ascribed primarily to Agaricus muscarius, Cutis rubra 30x.
