Kind braucht sehr viel Schlaf (mehr als 16 Stunden pro Tag)
Zuckungskrämpfe bei Kindern.
Mind:
Ambitious (Nux-v. Verat);
wants to be the best.
Cannot demonstrate affections (Nat-m. Sep) easily, as they are all
cramped up.
Cautious (Ign) and meticulous in every action.
Dictatorial attitude; loves to control others (Lach.
Merc) e.g. friends, classmates, and siblings.
Easily frightened (Arg-n. Nat-c) by anybody
approaching them; when there is sudden darkness in the house, or when they see
a dog barking.
Fretful (Cham. Cina) children do not know what
they want; their desires and demands keep changing; satisfied with nothing.
Hardworking, pushy children; many activities underway, yet very
organized.
Independent children (Nux-v), avoid asking for
help (egotistical).
Loves leadership (Caust. Lyc)
and assuming responsibility.
Persevering (Ferr-met. Sil);
very determined; never gives up.
Polarities of behavior: Tricky and mischievous
or quiet and timid; yielding, or headstrong; this leads to emotional
instability.
Reserved and serious-looking children, who are often constricted with
fragile egos and fractured emotions.
Responsible and conscientious children; want other children to be
equally responsible.
Stammering after fright.
Tight-lipped to the point of being secretive (Bar-c. Lyc.
Ign) and grim.
Physical:
A universal remedy for cholera (Dr. Clapton: workmen in copper factories
have always escaped cholera while the neighborhood
suffered severely) and rotavirus
infection in neonates and infants; equally important for E. coli and
other gram-negative septicemias.
Coldness (icy) (Camph. Carb-v.
Laur. Phos. Sec. Verat), cold sweat, cold breath, collapse (strength and
vital force) (Ars. Carb-v. Hydr-ac. Laur. Op. Sec. Verat).
Ambitious (Nux-v. Verat); wants to be the best.
Cannot demonstrate affections (Nat-m. Sep) easily, as they are all
cramped up.
Cautious (Ign) and meticulous in every action.
Dictatorial attitude; loves to control others (Lach.
Merc) (friends/classmates/siblings).
Easily frightened (Arg-n. Nat-c) by anybody
approaching them; when there is sudden darkness in the house, or when they see
a dog barking.
Fretful (Cham. Cina) children do not know what
they want; their desires and demands keep changing; satisfied with nothing.
Hardworking, pushy children; many activities underway, yet very
organized.
Independent children (Nux-v), avoid asking for
help (egotistical).
Loves leadership (Caust. Lyc)
and assuming responsibility.

Polarities of behavior: Tricky and
mischievous, or quiet and timid; yielding, or headstrong; this leads to
emotional instability.
Reserved and serious-looking children, who are often constricted with
fragile egos and fractured emotions.
Responsible and conscientious children; want other children to be
equally responsible.
Stammering after fright.
Tight-lipped to the point of being secretive (Bar-c. Lyc.
Ign) and grim.
Disposition to have spasms and cramps in the fingers (which are flexed
inwards), limbs, muscles, throat (prevents speech and swallowing), and thumbs (clenched
into fists) (reverse of Sec).
Many neurological complaints are brought on by fright (Carc. Op. Stram) and after being
sexually abused (Ph-ac. Staph).
Physical complaints, like convulsions, and behavioral
problems are due to suppressed eruptions (Bry. Zinc)
and perspiration (feet) (Bar-c. Zinc-met).
Sensitive children (Ign. Phos. Puls) physically as well as emotionally (sensitive
skin/sensitive digestion/sensitive nature).
Hence everything overacts, (the smallest, mildest, and simplest dose
overacts and everything aggravates). Giving Cupr-met.
to such babies often relieves the sensitivity and then the well-selected
remedies will act curatively for longer periods (Kent).
Symptoms (neurological/behavioural) come at periodical intervals.
Violence characterizes many symptoms (vomiting/nausea/diarrhea/cramps/convulsions)
While nursing or drinking, a gurgling sound commences in the throat and
continues in the esophagus (Ars.
Cina. Hell. Hydr-ac. Laur).
Cupr children’s nerves are always wrought up
to the highest tension.
