Leberheilpflanze: gelbe Blüten und orangegelber Milchsaft zeigen Sympathie zur Gelbsucht. Das dreilappige Blatt hat anatomische Verwandtschaft zur Leber, Wachstum an
Mauern zeigt die Heilkraft gegen Gallensteine an. Wir haben es also nicht nur mit besonders "giftresistenten" Heilpflanzen zu tun, sondern auch mit Heilpflanzen für tartarische
Leiden wie Blasengrieß oder Gallensteine:
Die Brennnessel fördert unter anderem die Ausscheidung von Harnsäure und treibt auch Blasengrieß aus. Dabei erinnere ich mich an eine Frau, die nach einen Tee für ihren
Mann fragte, bei dem reichlich Blasengrieß festgestellt worden war. Weil ich ihn nicht persönlich kannte, gab ich den einfachen Tipp, er solle im Wechsel täglich etwa einen
halben Liter Brennesselblättertee oder "Vollmers Grünen Hafertee" (enthält u.a. Brennesselblätter) mit frisch gepresstem Zitronensaft und Honig trinken.
Ergebnis dieser wohlschmeckenden Teekur: Nach einigen Wochen kamen die beiden mit einem Säckchen an, in dem sie eine Handvoll Blasensteinchen gesammelt hatten,
die während der Teekur abgegangen waren.
Article
on Kidney Stones appeared in The News International.
Kidney
stones are as old as the human civilisation. Scientists have found evidence of
their existence in a 7000-year-old Egyptian mummy. Despite the passage of
several
millennia
they still constitute one of the most painful urologic disorders.
Three
million people visit health care providers and more than half a million go to
emergency rooms every year for treatment of kidney stone problems.
A
kidney stone is a hard mass developed from crystals that separate from the
urine within the urinary tract.
Normally
urine contains chemicals that prevent or inhibit the crystals from being
formed. These inhibitors, however, do not work for everyone. If the crystals
remain tiny,
they
travel through the urinary tract and pass out of the body in the urine without
being noticed.
Kidney
stones may be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a pearl. Some stones
are as big as golf balls! Stones may be smooth or jagged. They are usually
yellow or brown.
About
90% of stones that are 4 mm or less in size usually pass spontaneously, however
9% of stones are larger than 6 mm. (gallstones and kidney stones are not
related with
each
other. They form in different parts of the body. Someone with a gallstone is not
necessarily more likely to develop kidney stones.)
Different
studies on kidney stones showed there 4 types of stones. The most common type
contains calcium that is a normal part of a healthy diet. Calcium that is not
used
by
the bones and muscles goes to the kidneys.

Cantharis will cure urethritis specific
and non-specific, when the urethritis is due to the irritation of renal
calculi.
[K.S.

Kidney
stones (renal lithiasis, nephrolithiasis) small, hard mineral deposits that
form inside kidneys. The stones are formed of mineral and acid salts. Kidney
stones have many
causes
and can affect any part of your urinary tract, your kidneys to your bladder.
Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to
crystallize
and
stick together. Passing kidney stones can be quite painful, but the stones
usually cause no permanent damage. Depending on your situation, you may need
nothing more
than
to take pain medication and drink lots of water to pass a kidney stone.
Causes:
Kidney stones often have no definite, single cause, although several factors
may increase your risk. Kidney stones form when your urine contains more
crystal-forming
substances
(calcium, oxalate and uric acid) than the fluid in your urine can dilute. At
the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from
sticking together,
creating
an ideal environment for kidney stones to form.
Types
of kidney stones
Calcium
stones. Are most kidney stones usually in the form of calcium oxalate. Oxalate
is a naturally occurring substance found in food. Some fruits and vegetables,
as well
as
nuts and chocolate, have high oxalate levels. Your liver also produces oxalate.
Dietary factors, high doses of vitamin D, intestinal bypass surgery and several
metabolic
disorders
can increase the concentration of calcium or oxalate in urine. Calcium stones
may also occur in the form of calcium phosphate.
Struvite
stones: form in response to an infection, such as a urinary tract infection.
These stones can grow quickly and become quite large, sometimes with few
symptoms or
little
warning.
Uric
acid stones: can form in people who don’t drink enough fluids or who lose too
much fluid, those who eat a high-protein diet, and those who have gout.
Certain
genetic factors also may increase the risk of uric acid stones.
Cystine
stones: form in people with a hereditary disorder that causes the kidneys to
excrete too much of certain amino acids (cystinuria).
[Ghosh’s
Rare Nosodes]
Renal Colic, also when the calculi are due to faulty metabolism during
pregnancy. It not only cures rapidly but sets the whole process of faulty
metabolism in proper order.
Fermentative acidity and constipation or sometimes dyspeptic soft stools
are very often associated with colic pain. Sometimes very useful in pains of
rheumatic and gouty
nature during periods of gestation.
Symptoms–A
kidney stone may not cause symptoms until it moves around within your kidney or
passes into your ureter - the tube connecting the kidney and bladder.
At
that point, you may experience these signs and symptoms:
Severe pain in the side and back, below the
ribs
Pain that spreads to the lower abdomen and
groin
Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in
intensity
Pain on urination
Pink, red or brown urine
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
Nausea and vomiting
Persistent need to urinate
Urinating more often than usual
Fever and chills if an infection is present
Urinating small amounts of urine
Pain
caused by a kidney stone may change — for instance, shifting to a different
location or increasing in intensity as the stone moves through your urinary
tract.

A kidney stone is composed of crystals formed by chemicals that separate
from the urine that builds up in the kidney.
The most common type of stone contains calcium oxalate or calcium
phosphate. A less common type of stone, caused by infection in the urinary
tract, is called a struvite stone.
Other rarer stones include uric acid stones and cystine stones.
Stones form as a result of urine with a high concentration of certain
chemicals (such as calcium, oxalate, phosphate, uric acid and others) and a low
concentration of substances that stop stone formation (urinary
inhibitors such as citrate and magnesium).
Urinary tract infections, kidney disorders such as cystic kidney
diseases, and certain metabolic disorders are linked to stone formation.
Calcium oxalate stones may also form in people with chronic inflammation
of the bowel or have had an intestinal bypass operation, or ostomy surgery.
Stones occur more frequently in men, and most commonly between 40 and 70
years old. Once you get more than one stone, other stones are likely to
develop.
Many people may not feel any symptoms. The first symptom of a kidney
stone is severe pain, which begins suddenly when a stone moves in the urinary
tract and blocks the flow of urine.
Typically, you will feel a sharp, cramping pain in your back and side,
and around the area of the kidney. The pain may shift to the lower abdomen
later on. Sometimes, you may also experience nausea and vomiting.
As the stone moves and the body tries to push it out, blood may appear
in your urine making the urine pink. As the stone moves down the ureter closer
to the bladder, you may feel the need to urinate more often or a burning
sensation during urination. If fever and chills accompany any of these
symptoms, an infection may be present.
Diagnosis
X-ray or ultrasound of the kidneys
and bladder, or
Intravenous urogram (IVU) or
computerised tomography (CT) scan
Additional urine and blood tests may be needed to exclude infection and
impairment of kidney function.
Prevention = important
You are likely to form another if you have had more than one kidney
stone.
Adequate water intake. If you tend to form stones, try to drink enough
liquid throughout the day to produce at least two litres of clear urine.
Calcium intake. In the past, people who form calcium stones were told to
avoid dairy products and other foods with high calcium content. Recent studies
have shown that foods high in calcium (dairy products),
may help prevent calcium stones. Older women taking calcium supplements
to prevent bone loss should continue to do so.
Foods that have medium amounts of oxalate may be eaten in limited
amounts.
Vitamin D intake. You may be told to avoid food with added vitamin D and
certain types of antacids that have a calcium base.
Meat intake. If you have highly acidic urine you may need to eat less
meat, fish, and poultry as these foods increase the amount of acid in the
urine.
Oxalate intake. If you are prone to forming calcium oxalate stones you
may be asked by your doctor to limit or avoid certain foods if your urine
contains an excess of oxalate.
Food high in Oxalat: Food high in Oxalat:
• Spinach, rhubarb, beets •
Grapes
• Peanuts • Celery, green pepper
• Soybean crackers • Raspberries,
strawberries
• Chocolate • Marmalade
• Black tea • Liver
• Sweet potatoes
Most small kidney stones can pass through the urinary system with plenty
of water - six to eight glasses a day - to help move the stone along. For
larger stones, the following treatment options are available :
Certain medications may help prevent calcium and uric acid stones by
controlling the amount of acid or alkali in the urine which are key factors in
crystal formation. The medicine allopurinol may also be useful in some cases of
hyperuricosuria where the chemical uric acid is secreted in large amounts in
the urine.

N.’s Story:
“We began this trituration with a group of two men and two women. We
only had time to triturate to the third level and did not have an official
follow-up meeting. We did exchange notes via phone and email following the
trituration. This was a very focused event because we all knew the substance
and the intended purpose of this trituration. Everything that was said was
specific to the topic and the substance – nothing frivolous arose. It was very
serious, we were doing a job – that may have been partly the circumstances as
well as part of the remedy picture.
“The trituration proving was a powerful experience for me; quite
personal and intimate, having produced the substance from within my own being.
However, it was even more powerful to experience the remedy state collegially;
within the trituration healing field. For in doing so, that which had previously
seemed a matter of course, perhaps indefinable from my own selfhood,
transformed within the proving group from personal experience into common voice
and remedy state expression. And in this profoundly human, yet non- personal
expression of ‘remedy state, there was access to a new, clearer, freer, inner
state accompanied by a profound relief. I gained a new level of health and
freedom of being. Metaphorically it was like removing the shackle from a slave,
or being released from a perpetual vow. The past which binds falling away.
Truly it is ok to be, here and now!”
Calcium oxalatum renalis – N’s Kidney Stone Trituration
First Round of Trituration (C1):
N: This is the most intimate trituration, I have ever done… (feeling…we
are doing a substance born out of my own body, with my close colleagues). I had
wondered how long it would take for the stones to break up in the mortar under
the pressure of the pestle. I feel much relief that this went so easy. The
stones were surprisingly soft; they almost burst across the bowl. Like the
stages of passing a stone, I had imagined that it might take up to 6 hours to
pulverize the stone for us to begin the trituration, and I worried that this
would be a hardship on the others participating in the trituration.
J: Upset when word ‘intimate’ is used; very uncomfortable. Grinding with
the fingers of one hand, holding the pestle at the top. Methodical. Noticing
the colors of the hydrangea; bougainvillea. Colors are bright.
Noticing sharp, pokey things such as bougainvillea; earwig crawling on
me.
N: Brief intense feeling of sadness washes over me. The stone is no
longer recognizable in the mortar, blending with the milk sugar. Time for
letting go, moving on.
Miscommunication. Hidden things. Talking about pregnancy and overuse of
ultrasound, hurting fetus.
Getting flickering of black spot on L side. There’s an eye in my bowl.
A: Like this substance is about balls: footballs, baseballs,
basketballs, (snickering sexual innuendo).
J: Feels very masculine to me.
D: Speaks about his sister’s ongoing divorce process and her
adaptations.
N: Curious that D is talking about divorce. Certainly the pain of my
first marriage is a component of the grief and hardship participating in the
evolution of these kidney stones - these ‘balls’ that I release out through my
genitals.
A: When did the stones first start?
N: 23 years ago; after my first child was born; during my first
marriage. It was tough and unhappy times. In-laws were visiting, there was
intergenerational stress and fighting going on. Sudden attack of intense pain;
rolling around on floor of upstair’s bedroom; feeling alone, lots of arguing
going on downstairs; not wanting to upset anyone; besides myself in pain. Then
not again for 7 years, then approximately 6 years later (this one required a
urologist-cystoscopic ‘basket’ retrieval); then maybe 5 years, now three in the
past two years! Remedies used in the past included Berberis and Cantharis.
Ocimum for the last three stones.
Overall they helped acutely a lot. But why do I develop stones again and
again?
I had years of hiding; holding in natural urges. Pain when passing stone
is like giving birth. I have to be totally focused on passing the stone and
have to surrender to it. I would break out in cold sweat; moaning; slamming
dashboard with fists with the pain; bowels let loose, vomiting with the pain.
Felt like a clearing afterward; a passing; a transition. Each experience is
different. I handle the pain differently each time.
Even while in pain I had to stay in control. The best laid plans
wouldn’t work out and I’d have to take charge.
Cannot let go. In an impossible state. Solution is unreachable; hidden,
even in plain sight (people 100 yards across from each other couldn’t see each
other; unable to find the right office amidst all the other ones; corridors
like a labyrinth).
Have to be superhuman in state of passing the stone. Perspiration soaked
shirts. Last summer, the stone before the most recent, passing the stone felt
like a distillation process.
Earlier in my life, there were many times in social situations, where I
felt a sense of being invisible in a room. There was safety in being invisible.
Yet I had a strong sense of dissatisfaction that
I didn’t or couldn’t connect with anyone. Later on it modulated to a
state where, after being in social situations like parties, I would come home
bummed, frustrated. Feeling of social interactions being not real and not a
deep enough of a connection at parties.
“I’m attached.” (Powder in his bowl wouldn’t come out of the bowl. Like
the porcelain had all been rubbed away and the sides were sticky. No one else
had this trouble).
Perhaps I compensated for this lack of connection in High School. I
became the chairman of the social committee and I would organize the dance
events, hire the band, chose the dates, etc. I did not feel any anxiety at
those events doing those activities and I even got an award for my efforts upon
graduating from school.
A: Was it about being influenced by the perception of others? By others’
possibly judging you?
N: Not sure. I probably would be anxious unless I was in charge of
events. Ok if had something to do. My role was defined. Work has always been
important vehicle for me. It brought connection.
A: I’m feeling stoned. (We started to laugh and A didn’t get why we were
laughing; didn’t get her own pun).
N: Can’t have joy without suffering. Brought up Catholic. Military
school. So passing stones and getting value makes sense. “I can’t let go; I
have to be the responsible one.” Solution is not reachable. “Not being able to
come out.” (The stone on one level; his being gay on another.)
Second Round of Trituration (C2):
J: Hard to grind; desire to stare; space out. Notice I’m holding the
bowl like a baby; tender; cradling the bowl.
N: Did it by myself; passing the first stone. Didn’t want to disturb the
others. Had a demanding daughter and dysfunctional in-laws and wife. They were
always fighting; then would buy off their daughter’s love with money. Labor
with daughter was 36 hours of getting yelled at. Wife was in a Medusa state, it
was hell.
I feel a tension headache on the top of my head, like hitting the
ceiling with my head. Right ankle is stiff, I cannot move freely. After using
the toilet just now, urine has an unusual greenish tinge to it. Body feels
warm. It is heating me up. The thought occurs to me, this is a feeling of being
distilled, the stone is being transformed through distillation.
The mission has to be accomplished. Personal stuff gets stuffed. Like
the kid walking along the dyke and you see a leak, so you put your finger in it
to stop the leak, but another leak erupts. You do what you can to plug the
holes. But more and more leaks break out.
A: You’re given a task which is just too big. You take it on because it
seems like it’s your job and you don’t even question it or think about it. And
the weight and pressure keep increasing. What is behind it?
You could get sad about it but… you just keep soldiering on. Don’t show
the pressure or the burden.
It’s unfair; it’s not right. It’s a terrible feeling. I am getting
pissed off. It just sucks. This state is shit.
You’re competent but a part is always held back to deal with the
inevitable crap that comes up. 100% of you is never available; you’re always
holding something in reserve -like the stones are held in the kidney in
reserve.
N: You strive to be conscious; you’re doing the best you can; why is
there yet another stone? My thoughts are that these stones were formed a long
time ago; but still, why are they not gone with the change in my state?
Is it a question of holding on versus letting go? What do you keep and
what do you leave behind? All lessons not necessarily learned at the time of an
event; further lessons occur from review and re-experiencing from the
perspective of one’s more current life experience.
A feeling of being on call 24/7. Every time I got a stone I dropped
something in order to balance my life better. I recall; two stones ago, the
process felt like a distillation process for me. My body felt like a furnace.
I soaked all my clothes. It felt like I was turning a solid into a gas.
Dispersing the substance; not required to remain in a solid state to be
released.
J: explains the process of distillation; fractionating, clarifying,
purifying the substance.
A: Then perhaps, distillation is not the right word. Perhaps it is more
of an alchemical than chemical process that we are seeking, experiencing! Like
an irritation in an oyster; producing a pearl.
Most stones were on right; the one that’s left is on left side.
N: I was a breech birth. Have a stiff neck; stiff from birth. They said
I was allergic to mom’s milk. Failure to thrive till put on soy formula. (Or
was milk toxic and he was right to refuse it?) Disappointing to be a child and
you’re dependent and they’re not doing a good job and they think they are.
(Suppressed anger so deep it’s not really known). It is wrong to get mad at
your mother.
It all has to come out: tearing, sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, peeing.
N. has had to leave to pee a lot during the process.
Down, deep, hidden. Totally oblivious to state of the kidney. “Down the
tubes.” Like being invisible at the group gatherings.
Third Round of Trituration (C3):
N. and A .find their neck pain and headache better. Runny nose.
N. tells Sufi story of souls in heaven waiting to incarnate on this
earth. They are awaiting with anticipation their departure to earth, yet there
is a hesitation to leave heaven. There is such bliss in heaven, being in the
awareness of God’s presence; so souls are reluctant to go into human life with
its limitations and constrictions. So to overcome this reluctance, God has the
angels play music.
The music is so sublime, the souls lose themselves in the music and
follow the music. In this process, the soul enters like a slide and once you
are on it, the pathway is irreversible; you are on the slide of incarnation,
you enter a womb.
You, as one of the souls streaming; coming down to the earth plane, are
attracted to the souls which are going back to heaven. It is an attraction on
the level of light; light beings attracted to light beings.
Those who have finished a life experience on the earth plane are
streaming up, while those in the process of descent are streaming down. For
most, this descent involves multiple light contacts; ancestral connections on
the plane of light.
The process of reincarnation is explained in this way; if however, in
your descent into manifestation, you are particularly attracted to one being,
lingering in resonance with this one being, then the soul impression of that
ascending being is fully absorbed, so upon your birth into the earth plane, you
are recognized as a being so very similar to the one who has passed on that it
is said you are the reincarnation. To reiterate, most of us are attracted to several
light beings and absorb experience and data and impressions from each of them
which contribute towards our own uniqueness. In this story, the Sufis blend
their insights that each being is unique; and yet how the possibilities of
reincarnation occur; and how each soul in the incarnating process is influenced
by the beings they are drawn to, including their qualities and soul experience.
A: So you take on this invisible loyalty. It’s a compulsion; not a
choice.
N: I went to Calcutta to help Mother Theresa with the dying in 1981.
Her only instruction to me was “Go and provide succor to those who are
in need.”
A: Whatever comes along, you do. You do whatever you can do, whether
it’s enough or not. So the solution is to just do. Don’t take it to extreme places.
You don’t have to be Mother Theresa to be ok. You don’t have to be in a
problematic relationship with this stuff. The work - work is an important word.
Throw out the judgment and just be. Just do.
N: Got Sulphur (or on reflection was it Alumina?) in Delhi from
homeopathic doctor. I had this very sensory experience while walking back from
the case taking and taking the remedy. I was in the Basti area of old Delhi.
It was evening time. The sounds of the community surrounded me, babies
crying, old people coughing, sounds of meal preparations. I realized that
people had been walking the same cobblestone street for thousands of years.
As I walked, I felt like I was activating, being empowered. Active and
present in my own body as if for the very first time.
A: Like the substance says, just “to be”. It’s not complicated at all.
Similar to the message found in Sulph in C4: “Not a whole lot more to be done;
or to be changed.” Perhaps Sulph C4 would complete this state?
Post Trituration notes:
J: In BIG frustration with new TV controller and cable box which was not
working, which husband could easily work but not convey the workings to me. I
deliberately threw the controller against the wall and broke it.
Husband and son said this was atypical for me, to throw and break
something. (Getting mad at technology is not new but I don’t like breaking
things). Son said he saw me think about throwing it before doing it so
he knew it wasn’t an uncontrollable impulse. This came at the end of a
long day of things not quite working well. Also, had stepped on big roofing
nail in afternoon; went through sandal and into foot. So I had taken
Ledum before TV problem. But it could be the trituration so I’m mentioning
it. I have been bothered by being poked, stung, prickled, bitten, etc. for past
month or two.
The next day, I awoke with a dream: was with two other people. We were
rehearsing a play in a gym or similar church basement type place. A short
play/scene but I wanted to do a good job. It was just supposed to be for
class or something then we got word that we were to perform it—that
night. Still hadn’t memorized my lines. I had a couple of lengthy speeches in
very stilted English; not Shakespeare but close. We kept getting interrupted
whenever it came time for me to read and practice my part. Frustrating. Getting
anxious because I wasn’t getting it; couldn’t read the words or had to do other
things for other people. Wanting and needing to help others who
were incompetent or incapable, but then I was not getting my own part
done. And the play deadline was approaching and I had no idea of what the play
was even about. Hadn’t even gotten to read the whole thing.
Got hit this morning with allergy attack. Running faucet nose, sneezing.
Left side feels like it has a poking piece of pollen or dust in it and cannot
get it out. My usual allergy symptoms but I haven’t had them for a couple
of years now except for sporadic outbreaks. Lasted all day. Headache,
face pain; stuffed nose and running nose. Feel like crap and have all this
stuff to do.
N.’s Story:
Two weeks after this trituration I got the instruction from Alize
Timmerman: Take the powder from the C2 and potentize it to 12C. Take this daily
for one week.
Notes during the succussion process:
Felt anxiety in my body. Feels like my mother’s shadow; strong; waves of
anxiety, like emerging underlying anxiety, felt episodically in my life in the
past, questions of will I do this right? Am I succussing correctly?
What if my count is off? Tight neck, sore stomach, mild urge to stool,
recognize pattern of keeping busy to balance the nervous energy-anxiety in my
body.
Memories flood me of a molestation event that occurred when I was in
third grade (10 years old), summer time with an older teenage neighbor.
Memories of what actually occurred have been kept at bay.
During the succussing I find myself remembering more, particularly
remember dialogue such as, “I did ask you and you wanted me to play with you
remember?” Recalling earlier initial conversation,
“Do you want me to play with you?” In touch with the manipulation aspect
for the first time; feeling powerless, fearful, honoring your word, fulfilling
a commitment, excited, aroused, confused.
Why did I never tell my parents about this? Is this the seed experience of
over-committing in relational states?
Strong feeling while succussing to really hit the bottle hard on the
table at times and at other times into my palm creating a red spot. Stigmata?
Concerns about maintaining the order, succussing, recording, pouring out
9/10, am I maintaining the correct flow of things? Will there be ramifications
if I do not do it exactly the right way?
So tired of my skin being so itchy… especially thighs, abdomen.
Where does this anxiety reside when I am not aware of it? Where is the
time going? Seems to me, like it is taking me twice as long, than usual to get
ready for going to a birthday party.
C-4 Trituration of Calcarea oxalatum renalis
N. took powder from the third trituration and did a fourth round by
himself on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2008.
As I begin the grinding process, I flash on a weird sexual dream that I
had last night, with the words, “He never knew what hit him.”
Feelings of sadness and restlessness arise from within
Physicals- ache in my arms and my neck, tight! Neck is getting a kink!
I must do this; can I really do this? I am getting stronger through the
process of doing this!
Allow the purge!
This process is about centering, grinding, centering, finding the
center.
After adding the second portion of lactose:
Grinding, rings in the clarity, ringing, ringing.
AUTHENTICITY; diving into one’s authenticity
Cleaning away the dark, dirty, shameful environs
Cloudy feelings around being fully embodied, entering in the body with
sexuality
Clarifying that which is imposed from the outside on the inner in
contrast to that which is initiated from the inside and expressing naturally
outwardly.
Even the mortar and pestle are sexualized objects! Inserter….insertee
Calcium: grinding the substance, forming the structure, the vessel.
Oxalatum: the flavor of the process, the bumpy road, the hard times, the
difficult path, the chosen way, a path to liberation.
Physicals - ears burning Color RED, belching, belching, tears come to
the eyes, a few; back clenched tight!
Losing your way - Panic - losing yourself- losing the notion of your
self - LOSER!
Reaction - holding too tight, tightly, holding on, holding, old-ing,
oldening, hardening, hard, harder, HARDER; too hard, it’s too hard! Stone! (as
in kidney stone).
After adding the third portion of lactose:
Try softer, softer, softly, gliding, drifting, gliding, smooth, with not
through it, smoother, towards ease, away from disease, toward EASE, smoother
and smoother.
What about suffering? The Perfect Ganesh(a).
Crucible – transforming - move on, not bold on, go with the flow!
Kidney stone - an obstacle in the flow, FLOW; an initiation to go with
the flow!
Flow is not the treadmill.
Flow accommodates inflow and outflow.
Go with the Flow!
Alize Timmerman Comments:
After giving N. the Calcarea oxalatum at 1M, I wanted him to have a very
physical experience from the C1 or C2 level, in order to regress him to the state
before the stones were formed. In this way,
a trituration experience can be a form of regression therapy, allowing
the patient to clear deep psychological states.
Anneke Comments:
The remedy from this kidney stone seems to say, “I am the crystallization
of everything that was ever done unfairly to you. You carry me deep inside and
don’t show me, except with extreme pain.”
Case:
Several months after this trituration, we met another homeopath who had
a cousin, S., with chronic kidney stones who was passing them regularly. As she
and I talked about the case, I asked her questions based on
our trituration experience. This cousin personified our trituration. I
asked very pointed questions, such as does he have an issue with unfairness?
Everything I asked her confirmed our trituration information.
She gave him a 12C from the 3rd round and he passed stones for two days
fairly easily, with some pain but not excruciating.
We gathered a few months later to do the trituration of this young man’s
kidney stone. Although the kidney stone remedy from our trituration had helped
him, it had not cured. We wanted to see if triturating his own
kidney stone would give him more permanent relief. We were also curious
to see if there would be any overlap in the themes between the two. We had a
group of 7 people: two males, five females; four people were
not homeopaths.
After four rounds of trituration, we had a sense of the essence of his
kidney stone; it seems to be: “He breaks everything up into small pieces so
that he does not have to see the whole picture of his life all at once. It
would
overwhelm him.” (An interesting aside is that this man also has brittle
bone syndrome). In his situation, he has also had multiple unfair situations
that he has had to soldier through and his attitude is also one of just taking
it and carrying on. He was relating a story of a severely dysfunctional
father, a life-long drug addict by choice, and did not express any anger about
his situation.
We made a C40 potency from the fourth round of powder, and put one of
the medicated pellets in water for him to take several drops daily.
The following is a report from his aunt, about four weeks
post-trituration:
“S. says the first 3 days after starting the remedy he slept really well
and deeply. Poor sleep is a lifelong problem for him. Then he started passing a
stone and when I realized it a few days later I told him to stop the
remedy till the stone passed. He stopped the remedy for 4-7 days (I am
not sure how long) and then restarted it. I then went back East for almost two
weeks and when he picked me up he seemed very different,
more serious and independent and less vulnerable and attached. He said,
‘I feel like I woke up after a long dream.’ He said he felt like when he was in
high school again and had motivation and energy. He said he was
cutting back on marijuana (medical marijuana which he uses for chronic
pain) because he did not want to lie around and have life pass him by. He said
he was planning to move to Sacramento with his friends. I said that
was fine with me and asked how it is with his girlfriend (E. who is 43)
and he said that he has found they have different goals and he does not think
they will continue together. Then over the next five days I worked
continuously catching up from my trip and when I called S. on Sunday and
asked him to come home to help me with a mess he had left, he became very angry
and stated he was moving out right away. He then did so
and did not talk to me for a
week. He has come by once and talked to me this week, and I again asked him to
write down all his responses to the remedy and I will send the information to
you. (I have been after him
since the remedy was made and he has been stalling). I hope he will do
so, as I can no longer monitor him.
“I think the remedy has made a huge difference to him and we will have
to see if it also helps his kidney stones.”
Fall: 30
Yrs/Tall/fair slim/dressed like a teenager (purple lipstick/blue painted fingernails/modern
clothes)/friendly/bright/expressive (every thing is “simply wonderful” or
“simply ghastly”) seems immature for her age.
Is tired of living on her own, but
is panicky/has to check doors and switches several times at night and has to
urinate 6 - 8x a night, and “nobody can put up with that”/is writing lists
(shopping lists).
Says she feels the need to pass
urine and so goes to the toilet “in case.”/is part of the repetitive compulsive
disorder that she appears to have.
Problems appeared when she was 16
(parents separated then/left home to live with her father/he was away a lot and
left her with little food in the house. She started writing lists of what she
needed. “I felt scared,
frightened, and so alone,” she said.
She was very unhappy, had no friends and felt suicidal. Was possible sexual
abused at 8.
Was drinking a lot of alcohol in
twenties. Dreams of dead/rotting fish/a long house, spic and span - it was not
for her.
Doesn’t belong, wants to fly off, be
somewhere else, wants to go, wants to be nowhere, place doesn’t exist.
Everything is dark and sinister.
Follow-up: Patient rang within 2
weeks to say she felt much better/had a throat infection at this stage and
required Phytolacca. Calculus renalis was then repeated.
At four-week follow-up visit:
Feeling good, enjoying flatting. Up twice before sleeping, then sleeps through.
Has an upstairs bedroom; feels safe. Checking switches and
locks less, keeps a diary rather
than writing lists. Wakes up with a sense of calm and relief; stable on the
ground. “Feel I could cope with the day, have the strength, more
even-keeled.” Butterflies gone from
her stomach. Feels happier and positive about life, even though the postive job
is becoming a burden. Dreams about houses and
beautiful gardens. She can speak out
now and laughs more. Deliberately her treatment was antidoted by giving another
remedy. Next day - “everything was black”.
I instructed her to write down her
feelings then take another Calculus renalis.
She wrote: “Feel like running
away/or like hiding/like to hit the wall/need a friend. Mad. Speed-up.
Can’t cope - no strength or
certainty. Frightened, scared, suspicious of everyone, can’t trust no one.
Need someone to hold me and keep me
on the ground. Stabilise me. Feel like a mad woman. Don’t
know what to do with self.” Calculus
renalis 30 C took away all these feelings.

[Dr. Shreya Deshpande]
Avoid surgery for kidney stones
Renal calculus, in simple terms,
kidney stone, consists of aggregates of crystals and small amounts of proteins
and glycoproteins, which may damage kidney. But there genesis is poorly
understood till date.
Crystalline component usually
consists of calcium oxalate(more than 50% of cases),calcium
phosphate(10%),magnesium ammonium phosphate(10%) or rarely cystine and uric
acid.
Why is it formed?
Though not exactly known, many
causative factors have been suggested as follows:
Recurrent urinary tract infection
Deficiency of vitamin A
Improper calcium metabolism
Climate or occupation giving rise to
excessive sweating
Prolonged immobilization or
Prolonged retention of urine.
What are the symptoms?
Intermittent dull pain in loin or
back < movement, is usually the presenting symptom in more than 50% of
cases.
If stone or calculus gets lodged in
ureter, then, severe Renal Colic, that is, excruciating loin to groin pain, may
also present the case. The pain increases and reaches the peak within a few
minutes making
very restless. This is often
associated with pallor, sweating or vomiting. Patient may groan in agony.
In some people, haematuria (bloody
urine) or dysuria (painful urine) is the presenting feature.
How to detect?
Apart from clinical examination done
by doctor, X-ray or ultrasonography is done to confirm the diagnosis. Urine
test usually detects red blood cells and proteins in urine.
Treatment options:
1. Apart from immediate pain
relievers, patient may have to undergo endoscopic removal of stone using a
lithotriptor which fragments the stone and then removes. These treatment
options are costly and
further, the recurrence rate cannot
be diminished by these methods.
2. Off course, drinking at least 10
to 12 glasses of water daily is the most important and easy treatment option.
What Homoeopathy offers?
For stones up to 0.5 to 0.6 cms.,
homoeopathy has a scope to replace surgery.
Homoeopathy offers a wide range of
medicines for kidney stones. The medicines act in 3 steps:
A) Alleviates pain.
B) Crushes the stone
C) Expels the stone through urine.
According to Homoeopathic
principles, there are certain inbuilt tendencies in human beings which lead to
such conditions. The medicines check the unbalanced homeostasis(harmony) of the
body besides
acting locally. As the medicines are
able to harmonize the tendencies, they are very much capable of preventing the
recurrence.
And all this happens without a single
side effect!
There are medicines like Calc. Lyc.
Thuj. Canth. Berb. Hydrangia, Oc-c. Cann-s. Sars. Nat-s. Pariera brava, etc.
when taken under proper medical guidance and with regularity, have the power to
replace
surgeon’s knife.
The constitutional doses (the ones
those act on the person as a whole) have the potential to prevent the
recurrence, once the stone is expelled.
Other preventive measures-
1. Foods containing excess calcium
oxalate like spinach, tomatoes, radish, mushrooms, excess tea-coffee,
chocolates, cheese, pastries, etc. should be minimized.
2. Water consumption schedule should
be scrupulously followed.
3. Citrus fruits
(grapefruit/lemon)/pineapple should be eaten.
4. Body weight should be kept under
check as obese people are more prone to calculi. So exercise is vital.
