Jan Scholten:
7 "series" and 18 "stages". The "series"
are the horizontal rows of the periodic table and named after their main
members.
The 18 "stages" are the vertical columns of the periodic table/= steps of development common to all
series. They seem to be a general principle of the development of
self-confidence of the human mind in different levels and depict 18
archetypical stages of the rise and fall of the theme of each series.

Physik der Metalle:
Je weiter die Elementen im System aufsteigen,
desto mehr steigt auch das atomare Gewicht der Metalle.
Die Charakteristika der Metalle sind ihr
strahlender Glanz und ihre magnetischen Eigenschaften. Ihre Elektronen sind
unter dem Einfluss von Licht
in der Lage, von einer Umlaufbahn in eine
andere zu springen: sie können Licht absorbieren und ausstrahlen
Namensgeber der vertikalen Stadien:
Die Serien ordnen die Elemente, die eine
verwandte atomare Struktur in der äußersten Schicht haben.
Beispiel: Natrium hat ein einziges Elektron
auf seiner äußersten Umlaufbahn, es muss entweder ein Elektron verlieren oder 7
dazu gewinnen. Aber es ist viel leichter, ein Elektron zu verlieren als sieben
weitere zu finden!
Sobald es ein Elektron verliert, verliert
Natrium auch seine negative Ladung und wird zu Na+ (positive Ladung). Im
Gegensatz dazu wird Chlor negativ = Cl-, wenn es zu seinen 7 Elektronen in der
äußersten Umlaufbahn noch eins dazu bekommt. Die Elemente, die Elektronen
verlieren, und dadurch positiv (oder zu Kationen) werden, erscheinen auf der
linken Seite der Tabelle. Die, die Elektronen dazu bekommen und dadurch negativ
(oder zu Anionen) werden, befinden sich auf der rechten Seite der Tabelle.
So kann man die Elemente nach ihrem
elektronischen Status neu gruppieren und dadurch Gattungen wie die Salze besser
verstehen.
Wie alle Elemente ordnen sich die Metalle in
senkrechten Gruppen (Stadien) an und das ist der zweite Zugang zum
Periodensystem.
Dieser zweite Zugang zum Periodensystem ist
sehr interessant, denn er ermöglicht eine zusammenfassende Betrachtung der
Metalle (wenn man nur die Metalle berücksichtigt, zählt jedes Stadium nicht
mehr als 3 Metalle).
Haben wir uns das Prinzip dieser beiden Zugänge
zum Periodensystem erst einmal klar gemacht, so können wir nun die Metalle der
ersten bis dritten Gruppe
(4. bis 6. Serie) untersuchen. Jedes Metall
wurde individuell erforscht und durch Fallbeispiele aus der Kinderheilkunde
illustriert.
Die Mittelbilder der Materia Medica werden
zunächst durch die Fallbeispiele aus der Kinderarztpraxis untermauert. Darauf
folgt ein Auszug der pädiatrischen
Indikationen des jeweiligen Metalls.
Es handelt sich um mehr als 50 Metalle mit
ihren pädiatrischen Indikationen, die in diesem Werk untersucht und vorgestellt
werden.
*Es ist anzumerken: wenn der in diesem Buch
zitierte alte medizinische Lehrstoff erwähnt, dass ein Metall therapeutische
Anwendung in der Behandlung von
Krebs und anderen schweren Krankheiten
findet, so handelt es sich ausschließlich um Indikationen aus der damaligen
Medizin.
Das Gefühl der Unfähigkeit, die Lage zu
meistern, ist typisch für CADMIUM. Sie reden gern über ihre Machtlosigkeit und
darüber, dass sie nichts erreichen.

[Jeremy Sherr]
We may
view the Periodic Table as a map of human evolution, spiraling down from the
universal Hydrogen toward our central radioactive core.
1st
period: Hydrogen and Helium, a cosmic soup that resulted from the initial Big
Bang, oneness transforming into duality. These elements comprise 99% of the
universe. Related to the individual
The proving of Hydrogen shows an infinity of time and space with a
sensation of meeting God.
2nd
period: Carbon materializes billions of years later, starting with
Lithium-stone - the first material. The earth solidifies as Carbon, Nitrogen,
and Oxygen are formed. Related to the family.
As opposed
to Helium and Hydrogen, which float around outer space, these new gases are
heavier and can remain in the earth's atmosphere. Now the four basic
ingredients exist needed to create life; Carbon being the main organic element
which holds all life together.
As we
descend the periods of the periodic table, we can relate different social and
habitat formations to each period.
3nd
period: The organic living world begins to evolve: the great rift between
Civilization

4th period:
commerce and war evolve into the Iron Age - This period contains heavier
metals. Iron for war, Copper for commerce, Arsenicum for avarice.
worker/soldier
5th
period: Towns then fuse into larger cities which utilize currency and
communication. The age of Silver arises, represented by Argentum - used for
money and electrical conductivity.
6th
period: of nations develops, each with its own King and Queen (Platina and
Aurum). As the growth of nations encourages trade and migration, (Syphilis
and Sycosis spread, starting in the 16th century.
communication,
and therefore the station of manager or minister and increasing in epidemics
synchronous with the many wars). The 6th period brings the Syphilitic remedies
to the fore - Platina, Aurum, Mercury, and Plumbum. These elements are found
deep in the earth and need to be mined. (opposed to the Sycotic remedies which
relate to plants - like Thuja). The greed of gold leads to the conquering and
destruction of lesser, yet often more spiritually evolved nations. King or
ruler.
During the
20th century, along with the discovery of new radioactive elements, nations
coagulate into Super Nations- the
7th
period? This period is hidden, unseen, secretive and yet it is immensely
powerful. It belongs to the deep sub-conscience and mystical part of man - the
controlling motor that animates our lives in ways
which we
are often not aware - our underlying instinct, the part of us which wields our conscious
minds, and our will, in accordance with its irrational whims. Magician, shaman
and prophet: the hidden force that controls the King from behind the scenes,
using a power more awesome than simple military or politics. Historically this
role belonged to the priesthood. Examples would be the Prophet Nathan, Rasputin
and the Czarina Alexandra Nikolayevich. It is also in this way that the threat
of nuclear weapons and the might of the nuclear industry control the powers
that be.
The Body
From the
point of view of tissue affinities (as a general and simplistic metaphor) the
first period of Hydrogen represents the soul, Carbon represents the mind,
Sulphur the skin and connective tissue, Ferrum the blood and muscle, Argentum
the nerves and Mercury and Aurum bone. The seventh period relates mainly to
bone marrow, radioactivity being a major cause of leukaemia. Like the
radioactive period, bubbling away in the centre of the earth, bone marrow is
the formative power behind our blood. But deeper still, in the cell nuclei,
lies the most basic component of life - DNA, the code behind all of evolution.
The DNA connection manifests prominently in the proving of Plutonium and is
borne out by modern medicine's preoccupation with genetic engineering.
Astrology
It is also
of interest to note the astrological connection of the elements Uranium,
Neptunium and Plutonium. These relate to the outer planets orbiting beyond
Saturn (Plumbum). They cannot be seen with the naked eye and therefore
represent aspects of our deep, unconscious, hidden mind. Their long orbits
(Pluto: 247 years) represent the long term and karmic aspects of these
elements. Again this is a strong feature of the remedy Plutonium, where the
pain of many previous generations is experienced (sins of the forefathers).
Recently a long presence of Pluto in its native house of Scorpio. This began in
1983 at the time when AIDS began.
Mythology
The
mythological stories relating to these three elements also provide useful
insights. Pluto, in Roman mythology, was God of the Dead, the husband of
Persephone, the Latin counterpart of the Greek god Hades. Pluto assisted his
two brothers, Jupiter and Neptune, in overthrowing their father, Saturn. In
dividing the world among them, Jupiter chose the earth and the heavens as his
realm,
History
One can
compare the discovery and development of radioactive substances with the
historical unfolding of the 20th century. Radioactivity was first discovered by
Antoine Becquerel when he observed the effects of Uranium on a photographic
plate. In 1898 Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radium. Other elements
followed including Polonium, Thorium, Actinium and Radon. Marie Curie suffered
horrendous burns from exposure to Radium and died from pernicious anaemia due
to overexposure to radiation.
The planet
Pluto was discovered in 1930. In 1932, as Hitler rose to power the first
neutron was identified. The Syphilitic Miasm had now become full to the brim
and was ready to explode. Viruses were first crystallised in 1935. Late in
1938, just as the war was about to begin, nuclear fission was achieved - a
Uranium atom was split. Isotopes of plutonium were first prepared at the
Conclusion
Since the
phenomena of radioactivity was discovered in 1896 mankind has entered into the
"20th Century Radioactive Era". As history spirals down the periodic
table, science, culture, politics, and social phenomena evolve in synchronicity
with the new elements. We live in an age where radioactive elements are used to
produce energy in nuclear reactors. Awesome weapons that can destroy large
cities in a flash utilise these powers. Orthodox medicine has also taken
advantage of radioactivity in treating cancers, a crude form of homeopathy, as
it is well known that radiation can cause cancer. Radioactive pollution has
caused enormous destruction. Just as these elements are breaking down, society
is decaying as we experience the breakdown of the nuclear family and
traditional cultures.
Individuals
today are living under similar meltdown conditions. Modern life has produced a
stressful living environment of pressure, heat, and speed. Under these
circumstances, it is no wonder that a new Miasm has developed - what many call
the Fourth Miasm - Cancer, an often fatal condition that has grown to enormous
proportions in the latter half of the 20th century. Cancer is triggered by
stress, pollution, and radiation. A condition feared by many as a death
sentence, there can hardly be a person in the Western world that does not have
friends or relatives who have died from this disease in its various forms.
Yet are we
as homeopaths meeting the challenge of this galloping pathology? It seems clear
that we are not. Though homeopathic history abounds with cures of various
tumors, and some have had limited success with
cancer, on
the whole I have not yet met a homeopath who can claim constant cure of
cancerous conditions. Naturally this may be due to deficient philosophy and
methodology, which is the subject of another discussion.
However,
we should always bear in mind the basic principle: 'simila similibus curentur'.
It is that which causes cancer that must be used to cure it, and there is
nothing that causes cancer as surely and as rapidly as radiation.
As modern
society manifests this archetypal phenomena in all modes of life, it is our
duty as homeopaths to evolve alongside it, curing disease with that which can
cause it. It is now our duty to prove the radioactive elements
and the
effects of radiation, and to prove them well, or else we will be no match for
the internal and physical cancer that mankind has created.
Körper = 70% Wasser. Bei 2% Wasserverlust sinkt Leistungsfähigkeit 20%. Tod tritt ein bei 15% Verlust.
Unser Körper ist ein Spiegel unserer
materiellen Umwelt. Fast alle chemischen Elemente, die das Periodensystem
kennt, stecken auch in uns. Manche sind lebensnotwendig, andere hingegen
entbehrlich, viele überflüssig
oder giftig, von anderen ist der Funktion noch unbekannt.

Circa 1 kg of Ca (99% bound in the skeleton). Ca found in the serum in 3
qualities. 50% (circa 1.2 mmol) is free and ionic, the rest mainly bound to
albumin. Ca deficiency symptoms occur when
the level of free, ionic Ca is reduced, with hyperexcitability of the
neuromuscular system [(broncho)spasm/extrapyramidal symptoms]. Thinking is
slowed down/tiredNESS/suppresses conscious awareness. The same symptoms occur
with hyperventilation, when acid-base metabolism
is upset and Ca no longer available to the organism (normocalcemic
tetany). Substitution of Ca ions immediately restores the situation to normal.
Albumin
calcium, a calcium reserve in the serum, is rapidly released if
required. Apart from ionic and albumin calcium, the serum also contains calcium
as part of active-process proteins.
Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein is needed for the development of bone and dentin
matrixes. In this case the calcium is bound into the protein and
acts not on the basis of ionic calcium properties but as an enzyme-like
tool for building-up processes. SAP (= serum amyloid protein) in serum shows
high
affinity to polyanions and cations. It is found in amyloid deposits. The
function of this lecithin-type substance is not known.
Scientists discovered that silica is important
for making the collagen matrix structure, where calcium deposits are used for
building and strengthening bones. Silica is imperative
for forming healthy bones, that some scientists
believe silica supplements are even more important than calcium for maintaining
bone strength.

Most body
K is intracellular (150 mEq/L), with only 3.8-4.5 mEq/L found in solution in
the serum.
Intracellular
deficiency is often seen when serum levels are still normal. K ions serve
intracellular processes such
as muscle
contraction, which is particularly important for the generation/conduction of
cardiac impulses.
The
extracellular serum, K, acts as a reservoir. K deficiency causes lack of
drive/adynamic muscles/cardiac
arrhythmias.
Serum potassium is ionic, not bound.
S = Schwefel Kommt in erheblicher Menge vor
Na = Natrium Kommt in erheblicher Menge vor
Na has the highest serum concentration of all blood salts. 97% of the
body sodium is extracellular, circa 60% of this bound to the skeleton (Mg/Ca)
easily mobilized if deficiency develops. "The main role of the alkaline
metal, Na, and its anion, Cl, is thought to be the generation of osmotic pressure
in extracellular fluid ..., whereas elements such as K/Mg/Ca only a minor role,
being in low concentrations" (Mineralstoffe...). Serum sodium levels
(132-145 mEq/L) are fairly constant. The level is essentially the same from
birth to old age - compared to K/Mg/Ca levels which have much wider limits for
normal values in the newbom and in infants than for adults. Serum sodium is
ionic, not bound. Sodium deficiency causes dehydration; one notes lack of drive
with a tendency to hypotension. (Hypotensive cardiovascular disorders are more
effectively treated in the long run by controlling food sodium levels and fluid
intake than with sympathicotonic drugs). Tiredness suggests insufficient
daytime activity.
Cl = Chlor Kommt in erheblicher Menge vor
Mg = Magnesium Kommt in erheblicher Menge vor Körper enthält 80 - 150 Mg.

Largely bound in bone/muscle tissue/only 1%
found in the serum (62% ionized/33% largely in albumin/5% in complexes and
enzymes). Mg is needed to activate
many enzymes and regular cell permeability. Mg
deficiency causes hyperexcitability to the point of spasms developing, which is
the polar opposite of Ca deficiency
symptoms. Na and K exist only in ionic form in
serum, which is similar to the form they have in the outside world. Ionic Ca
and Mg are important for human function in
the waking state; part is enveloped in
albumin, part is actively bound in enzymes and therefore a live tool.
Weniger als 10 gr.:
Fe = Eisen Spurenelement
Inorganic ionic Fe is highly toxic and not
found as such in serum. The transport form developed by the organism is
transferrin, a teto-globulin.
Free Fe exists for short periods during hemoglobin
degradation in hepatic and splenic macrophages; it is immediately bound to
transferrin
and transported from liver to bone marrow.
Another part of it binds with ferritin in macrophages and other cells, so that
the Fe is enclosed
in protein (apoferritin). It is oxidized from
2- to 3-valent Fe, and this "reserve Fe" is retained in the organism
in this enveloped, detoxicated form.
If Fe is required in bone marrow or tissue,
ferritin Fe is bound to transferrin and taken to the site. It is assumed that
the total plasma Fe volume
in the blood is converted 7 - 10x daily. Apart
from the Fe in hemoglobin, transferrin and ferritin, Fe is bound in myoglobin,
lactoferrin and various enzymes
in blood and cells. The level of Fe in the
body said to be 0,7 - 0,9 mol (3,9 – 5,0 g), 70% of it in hemoglobin, and circa
18% in form of reserves
(ferritin). Functional Fe (circa 12%) is found
in myoglobin and Fe-containing enzymes. The inhibitory/transport protein
transferrin contains only 0.1%
of the total Fe. Human Fe requirements are met
by the diet. In Fe deficiency, the rate of absorption increases because the
intestinal mucosa has
a system by which utilization of dietary Fe is
adapted to requirements. Details are not yet known. If Fe metabolism is in
balance, only circa 10%
of dietary Fe is absorbed. The rate may rise
to between 30 and 40% with Fe deficiency in humans and as high as 90% in animal
experiments.
Fe is continuously eliminated via the
desquamating epithelium of skin and intestinal mucosa, and of course through
menstrual bleeding.
Unlike Fe absorption, elimination rates are
constant. Fe deficiency causes anemia, lack of drive and tiredness. In tumor
patients, anemia is not due to Fe deficiency
(except if there are haemorrhages) but by a
shift to the reserve form ferritin (Denz). Apart from Fe, transferrin
also envelops and transports Zn/Mn/Cr.

Si = Silicium Spurenelement (umstritten)
From the nutritional point of view, an average
adult needs about 25mg/day min. and for some the requirement may
touch close to 100mg/day. Out of which about
50% is excreted through urine, suggesting that intake to be adjusted
according to one's constitution.
Next to oxygen, silicon
is the most abundant element on earth. Silicon is found in the ash of most
plant and animal tissues
in small quantities.
Is required for proper integrity of skin,
ligaments, tendons and bone. Is required for the proper functioning of the
enzyme
prolyhydroxylase which is responsible for the
formation of collagen in bone and cartilage and other connective tissues.
Silicon may also be important in bone calcification.
Through research done in 1972 at UCLA, Dr. Edith Carlisle found that
silica is an essential trace element, necessary
for normal bone development. It was determined that optimal growth and
skeletal development could not occur without adequate amounts of this
essential trace mineral. While studying mice, depressed growth and skull
deformities occurred due to an inadequate supply of silica.
Humans showed the following symptoms when lacking a sufficient amount of
silica in their diet: cardiovascular and arterial problems, fragile bones,
joint deterioration, digestive disorders, along with weakened gums and
teeth.
Once supplied with the appropriate amount of silica, the above symptoms
showed considerable improvement, in
addition to this: collagen levels elevated, calcium absorption
increased, and cardiovascular support strengthened. The texture of the hair,
skin and nails showed improvement, as well.
Scientists discovered that silica is important for making the collagen
matrix structure, where calcium deposits are used
for building and strengthening bones. Silica is so imperative for
forming healthy bones, that some scientists believe
silica supplements are even more important than calcium for maintaining
bone strength.
In addition to our ever increasing need for silica, another challenge is
that silica cannot easily be found in large quantities in most foods. Though it
can be found in certain cereal grains, such as: oats, millet, barley, wheat and
potatoes, along with fruits, beets and turnips - most silica is usually lost in
the refinement process of these foods.
The average daily intake of silica from the diet is approximately 20 to 50 milligrams per day, but the optimum dose is higher. Researchers are finding that by supplementing the diet with a minimum of 40 milligrams of silica a day, the skin shows an improvement of elasticity, texture and thickness. Added benefits include helping weakened teeth and gums, strengthening bones, and decreasing hair loss. Overall, silica was found to help the body repair, rebuild, strengthen, and lessen or eliminate many body ailments associated with aging. "
