Stopped diary products for the following reasons:
1 There is bound to be a sensitivity to milk
2 In the rubric diabetes there are a lot of milk-derivatives in this rubric (Lac-ac/Lac-c/Lac-d/Lac-v/Nat-lac.) indicating a possibly causal relationship between milkconsumption and diabetes.
[Robin Murphy]

Cod liver oil taken by nursing mothers improves the breast milk by increasing the amount of fatty acids, which promotes brain development,

and the amount of vitamin A helping to prevent infections, but the level of vitamin D is unchanged.

[E.A. Farrington]

Urtica urens is the best remedy for non-appearance of the milk without any other symptoms, there being no apparent reason for the agalactia

Croton tiglium, pain from the nipple through to the back when the child nurses, as though it were being pulled by a string.

Phellandrium aquaticum is an excellent remedy when pain course along the milk ducts between the acts of nursing.

Til. and Lac-h. (belong in the upper region of the Periodic System) and Til. have both the desire for symbiosis, for unity, for oneness. Both feelings of isolation and separation.

Dreams about babies and death.

From the trituration of Lac humanum in 2002:

C1 Nourishment

C2 Lust, satisfaction

C3 Magical development (intuition, beyond senses)

C4 Discovering the self and one‘s own.

o reliving the way from birth to death

o feeling at home /comfortable in one‘s own way

o controlling polarity (variety in unity)

o creating an perspective view

o balancing different views

o taking responsibility for the self

Lac-h. is in conflict with the child or the adult, the mother. The goal is growing up and makes the child an inner child in you. It is here about taking too much or too less responsibility, or of being up with expectations of the child or the mother.

Lac humanum knows antagonisms like:

Baby ↔ Mother

Hunger, sex. ↔ Civilisation, culture

Aggression ↔ Sociability, morality

Irresponsible ↔ Responsible

Dominance of animal instincts

Group member ↔ outsider

Unity with care taker ↔ development of ego,

marking border ↔ compensation is control, duties.

Tilia is also developing an ego, but there is some tension with the urge to unify with the world, with all the people around. Lac-h. has the tension within the unification with the care taker.

Both are controlling of nature, but Til. is overprotective towards the partner or others.

Themes in the Remedy

* Lack of concentration

* Lack of confidence

* Dreams of death

* Forsaken/Isolated feeling

* Helplessness

* Indifference/apathy

* Shuns responsibility/caretaker

* Caring for food/caring for others

* Need to be nurtured

Other themes: Being helpful to others so that you receive acceptance and are not alone. The ‘I’ needed to be sacrificed for the good of the “we.” It is necessary to do things for others, obey the rules,

and be sensitive to the opinions of others, but unfortunately, this also leads to feeling forced, treated badly and ridiculed.

The issue of having two wills is central. Thus there is conflict between having both a spiritual and non-spiritual nature, a desire to work and a desire to go on a holiday, a desire to be an individual,

yet part of a group. There is a lot of emphasis on one’s relatives and on being helpful to one’s friends, family, community and those less fortunate, what we might call humanitarian service.

Ständig auf der Suche nach ihrem individuellen Selbst, gehören jedoch zu Gruppen, denen sie sich anpassen müssen. Sie sind die einzigen Säugetiere, die während ihres gesamten Lebens mit

der Angst vor dem Tod konfrontiert sind. Sie tun alles, was in ihrer Macht steht, um dieser Angst zu entgehen o. legen ein tollkühnes Verhalten an den Tag.

Sankaran: Für Lac humanum heißt es: „Ich oder die anderen“. Man muss den anderen töten, um selbst zu überleben.

Besonders in der Pubertät tritt die Problematik von Lac humanum hervor (Selbst-Identität in Beziehung zur Gruppe).

Lac maternum

[Tinus Smits]

Geheilte Symptome (klinische Versuche)

Remedia.at: Lac maternum aus der Milch von 9 Frauen, 3 Tage nach der Geburt bist 10 Monate nach der Geburt - DOLISOS 1994 enthält auch Colostrum

Untersuchung von Träumen, die durch die Prüfung ausgelöst wurden.

Das Kind inkarniert sich während seines intrauterinen Lebens. Diese „Inkarnation“ aber ist bei der Geburt noch unvollständig, und das Stillen ist eine natürliche Fortsetzung dieses Prozesses.

Daher also die „Religion“ des Stillens, wo sich viele Mütter zum gemeinsamen Stillen treffen; „La Leche Liga (1)“ ist die Kirche dieser neuen Religion! Die Angst der Eltern vor der neuen Aufgabe und der Verantwortung ist direkt mit dieser Situation verbunden.

Milch ist eine Art Lebenswasser. Die Galaxis ist die Milchstrasse, die nach einem antiken Mythos durch verspritzte Milch der Hera zustande kann. Inder und die jüdische Kabbala sprechen vom Schlangenweg. Das führt zurück zur Schlangensymbolik, in der die Schlange zu den "erdmütterlichen", "chthonischen" Wesen zählt, die von "Anfang" an schon dabei ist.

Mother had an aversion to coffee in pregnancy associated in a significant degree with cow’s-milk allergy in the child.

Human milk, the best food for babies, contains the right amount of nutrients in the right proportions, for the growing baby. A living, biological fluid, it contains many unique components.

(lactoferrin provides optimal absorption of iron and protects the gut from harmful bacteria/lipases assist in digestion of fats/special growth factors and hormones contribute to optimal growth

and development. Mother’s own milk changes during a feeding from thirst-quenching to hunger-satisfying, and comes in a variety of flavours as the mother’s diet varies.

Its composition changes as the baby grows to meet the baby’s changing nutritional needs.

Human milk is baby’s first immunization. It provides antibodies which protect the baby from many common respiratory and intestinal diseases, and also contains living immune cells.

Colos. packed with components which increase immunity and protect the newborn’s intestines. Artificially fed babies have higher rates of middle ear infections, pneumonia, and cases of gastroenteritis (stomach flu). Breastfeeding as an infant also provides protection from developing immune system cancers such as lymphoma, bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and celiac sprue, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, all of which are related to immune system function. Breastfed babies generally mount a more effective response to childhood immunizations. In all these cases, benefits begin immediately, and increase with increasing duration of breastfeeding.

Themes in the Remedy

* Anxiety about life

* Homesickness for the astral world

* Refusal of the child by its parents at the beginning of pregnancy

* Anxiety for the responsibilities of a new life

* Lack of centre/ energy easily disturbed by the energy of other persons and of the surroundings

* Lack of clarity of mind; thinking is muddled and defenses against the outer world are lowered

* Want of self esteem

* Sadness

* Lack of joy

* Sensation of floating out of body

* Daydreaming

* Lack of awareness of one’s surroundings/boundaries

* Unfeeling/Indifferent

Incarnation in current life - the process of incarnation that takes place during pregnancy, is not complete at birth and mother’s milk helps the baby to come down gradually.

The centre of the remedy is lack of incarnation from several deeper causes, such as anxiety in accepting the physical state, apprehension of the difficulty of our task during this incarnation,

homesickness for the astral world, refusal of the child by its parents at the beginning of pregnancy, or anxiety for the responsibilities of a new life.

This lack of incarnation. causes a deep unawareness of the true identity; the person is not centered and the energy is easily disturbed by the energy of other persons and of the surroundings.

Physical Complaints

Headache, migraine, dizziness, vertigo, empty feeling, flushes, loss of hair, extremities cold, weak libido, lack of feeling, awkward, general chilliness, eczema, psoriasis.

In mature milk the whey/casein ratio of milk protein is in the order of 60 : 40 (while in cow’s milk it is 20 : 80). In the immediate post-partum period the whey fraction of human milk protein may be as high as 90%/at this time it is also high in sIgA immonuglobins (x higher than in mature milk/sIgA levels are maintained throughout lactation).

Immunoglobulins in general play a vital role in facilitating various immune complexes designed to offer protection to an individual against bacterial and viral pathogens.

It is the IgA, which abounds in the mucosal epithelium and therefore plays a vital role in protecting the newborn against potential airborn pathogens (in first hours following birth before colonisation of the oral/nasal mucosa with maternal bacteria).

Secretory IgA is known also to protect against:

Enteroviruses [Poliovirus types 1,2,/Coxsackievirus types A9, B, B5; Echovirus types 6 and 9]

Herpes virus [Cytomegalovirus/Herpes simplex]

Semliki forest virus

Respiratory syncytial virus

Rubella

Reovirus type

Rotavirus (2)

When milk production falls below 400 ml per day, the breast is said to be in a phase of involution. During this time the breast experiences a drop in lactose due to a lowering of

glucose and citrate levels. Zn/P/Ca also decrease. At the same time Fe/Na/Cl levels rise and protein and lipid levels to those resembling colostral phase. The immunologic

components such as IgA and sIgA and lysozyme and lactoferrin increase as the junctions between the alveoli (= Lungenbläschen) begin to open up again, as if in some way to

confer a protective parting gift to the infant in as much as colostrum is a welcoming protective gift.

Just prior to birth a new species of messenger RNA is produced in the cells of the alveoli. This begins to stimulate the synthesis of α-lactalbumin the predominant protein in human milk.

With the repelling of the placenta, progesterone levels drop thereby allowing an increase in prolactin in the anterior pituitary. This initial phase of milk production

is independent of suckling. However, in order for prolactin levels to be maintained the breast has to be suckled and drained regularly. Prolactin levels, therefore, are regulated

as a direct response to nipple stimulation and breast emptying. While prolactin is the main hormone involved in human milk production, other hormones such as thyroid stimulating hormone, insulin, cortisol and HGH play important roles. Oxytocin (produced in the posterior pituitary) has a role equal to that of prolactin as it governs the milk ejection reflex. It is, therefore, considered to complement the role of prolactin. Put simply, prolactin makes the milk and oxytocin makes the milk available.

Like all mammalian milks human milk is species specific. It is basically a solution containing various proteins, carbohydrates and salts mixed with a variety of fatty acids.

Assays of human milk from mothers from a variety of social and economic backgrounds, has detected little variation with respect to its comprehensive biochemical profile.

Poor nutritional status may result in a lowered content of some water-soluble vitamins and some fats. In particular, ascorbic acid, thiamine and B12 may be affected by deficient diets. And, while human milk contains all trace minerals including Se/I/Fl levels can be at the lower end if maternal exposure is compromised. Also, mothers who because of social, religious or environmental reasons have minimum skin exposure to adequate sunlight, vitamin D content may be problematical. Other than that, human milk

is remarkably consistent across the planet and, remains so for the duration of the lactation.

Colos.

Mature Milk consists mainly of water/a common feature of mammalian milks as water intake contributes to the temperature regulating mechanism of the newborn who can

experience as much as a 25% heat loss through evaporation of water from the lungs and the skin.

Although the fatty acid profile lies between 2 - 5% of the total volume, provide largest source of calories in the milk. After the colostral phase the fatty acid levels go from 2.9

to 4.2 g/100 ml, the fat tending to be more concentrated at the end of a feeding. The 20% of the milk, which tends to remain in the breast after a feedinging contains up to 50% of the fat. Therefore, the most important predictor of fat content is the length of time since the last feeding; the longer the interval, the lower the fat concentration.

Fat is first digested in the baby’s stomach, which contains amounts of rennin during the neonatal phase. It is further assisted by bile-stimulated lipase and serum-stimulated lipase. There tends to be no loss of fat in the stool of a breast-fed infant. Mothers with diets high in omega and omega-6-fatty acids reflect that in the fatty acid composition

of their milk.

When maternal fat intake is limited, depot fats are mobilised. These contain a preponderance of lauric and myristic fatty acids and possible maternal toxins stored in the fat.

The predominant carbohydrate in human milk is lactose. In mature milk it is found in levels of 7. g/100 ml and, as it provides a ready source of galactose essential for

CNS development. It is high in human milk relative to other mammalian milks because of our large brain. The presence of lactose in the abdomen promotes L-bifidus producing

organic acids and synthesises many of the B vitamins. It is thought also that the acid milieu checks the growth of enteropathogenic organisms and improves the absorption of Ca/P/Mg and other minerals.

The protein level in mature milk is 1,4 g/100 ml. The protein level in cow’s milk is more than 2x higher at 3,4 g/100 ml. Cow’s milk also has a much higher casein/whey ratio, which imparts an opaque quality. Human milk is “thin and blue” because it has a relatively low casein content. The higher whey fraction in human milk allows the protein to be acidified in the stomach to form soft, flocculent curds, which are easily digested and supply a continuous flow of nutrients to the baby.

There are two other proteins of significance. Lactoferrin (an iron-binding protein) inhibits the growth of certain iron-dependent bacteria in the gut. This helps to protect the neonate’s iron status and helps to protect against gastro-intestinal infections. Lysozyme, which abounds in quantities 00% higher than in cow’s milk, contributes to the development and maintenance of intestinal flora by attacking the cells walls of bacteria through cellular lysis.

Non-protein N also has a vital role, and up to 0% of the total N in human milk is in the form of non-protein N. This consists of a variety of organic and trace amounts of inorganic compounds deposited in the milk. These include peptide/HGH/epidermal growth factor/free amino acids/amino alcohols of phospholipids/nucleic acids/ nucleotides/urea/carnitine and sugar amines.

Of the free amino acids, it is the sulphur based taurine (2-aminoethane sulphuric acid) which is the most abundant and, therefore, the most important. It is almost non-existent in bovine milk but may be plentiful in human milk, depending on diet. It is present in animal protein (organ meats/invertebrate seafood), but is not found in vegetable protein.

It is associated with bile acid conjugation and therefore plays an important role in digestion. It facilitates the passage of Ca-/P-/K-/Na-/Mg- ions in and out of cells and has

an important role in cholesterol degradation.

During pregnancy, taurine accumulates in the maternal tissue to be released during the perinatal period to the foetus via the placenta and to the newborn via the milk.

It accumulates in the foetal and neonatal brain and if maternal stores are low this is reflected in the baby’s levels. Taurine deficiency in the mother may lead to growth retardation of the offspring and to impaired perinatal development of the CNS and of the pancreas. Research has shown that this may have a trans-generational effect as

adult offspring of taurine-deficient mothers display signs of impaired neurological function, impaired glucose tolerance and vascular dysfunction. This may result in gestational diabetes thereby transmitting the effects to the next generation.

Taurine deficiency sets the “wellness” thermostat for life. As a Homoeopath it intrigues me that this is a sulphur-based amino acid/its role seems to suggest that it may possibly be implicated with Psora. Sufficient taurine will result in optimal function of the aforementioned systems while deficiency and lack seem to be the grand keynotes of a system deprived of taurine.

Finally, there are many hormones and 20 different enzymes in human milk, which perform a variety of functions (protective). Other resistance factors found predominantly in the whey fraction of human milk include: cytokines/epidermal growth factor/interferon/interleukins/low molecular weight glycosides/oligosaccharides and peptides/ lymphocytes/polyamines/prostaglandins. No breastmilk substitute (= artificial milk) can absolutely mimic the range of subtleties provided by breastmilk. Breastfed babies are more intelligent, and are less likely to be obese or develop coronary artery disease. Breastmilk protects against childhood diabetes and cancers and offers protection against such gut problems as ulcerative colitis/Morbus Crohn.

Themes of detachment abound in Lac-h and the lack of emotional attachment I seemed to have concerning the conception is consistent with this theme, thereby suggesting

that it is also a theme for Lac-m.

Synthesis of Lac Maternum from Tinus Smits († 27-4-2010)’ Inspiring Homeopathy

Essence: lack of incarnation. Causation: anxiety regarding incarnation in the physical world

Sensation of floating, out of body sensation; out of body experiences/out of reality/living in the past; [NB living in the future was also expressed in several dream rubrics]

weak and strange feeling as if not belonging to one’s body; as if looking down on one’s body; as if everything is far away, different; as if one hears oneself speaking,

as if someone else is talking; feeling that mind and body are separated; not feeling one’s body anymore; as if watching life, not participating; as if invisible to other people.

Vertigo; dizzy feeling; feeling as if having no legs, soft legs; empty feeling in the head; feeling of absence; feeling of cotton wool in the head, foggy sensation in the head;

stuffed up feeling in the head, as if head too large. Tendency to fainting; fear of fainting; fainting.

Day-dreaming; clouded thinking; absent-mindedness; difficulty in concentration; mistakes in speech, saying wrong words; difficult word-finding.

Awkwardness; bumping into things; hurting oneself; knocking things over; falling; unobservant.

Ineffective; tendency to procrastinate; having to force oneself to realise one’s dreams or to effectuate one’s daily occupations; lack of responsibility.

Exhaustion, weakness, lack of courage.

Sadness, lack of joy in Life; sudden changes in mood; laughing # weeping; joyfulness # weeping, irritability and quarrelsomeness; fits of weeping.

Anxiety about life, not being able to face life alone or fear of having to face Life alone; Symbiotic relationship with parents, partner, children; humour easily influenced by the

emotional state of others; very dependent on others.

Lack of awareness of one’s own identity; questioning the meaning of life; chaotic inner feeling.

Lack of awareness of one’s surroundings, as if perception is only general and not in detail; as if things do not penetrate; everything looks strange.

Desire to read, reading giving the possibility of escaping from reality and living in an imaginary world; completely absorbed during reading, not answering when spoken to;

pursuing studies to be in another world, fear of completing studies and having to perform; reading impossible owing to lack of concentration.

Unaware of one’s own boundaries; feels unprotected, porous everything enters directly too strongly, sound, smell (nausea), energy and feelings of other people; won’t stand

up for oneself; lack of self respect; lack of care for oneself, caring for others, worried by the problems of others; abused by other people, always caring for others; desire to

be taken care of (cf: Vernix caseosa).

Anger; irritability at trifles; throws things away.

Desire to go out; not feeling well at home (the house being the symbol of the body); not being really aware of one’s own territory; letting others invade one’s space/energy;

absence of real feeling of being the master at home, with the garden being not fenced-in. Unlike Carcinosinum this is not because lack of self confidence makes one unable

to resist others, but because of unawareness of one’s own space, own identity, so one unconsciously shares his ‘home’ with others and is unable to be fully oneself; desire

to have one’s own place at home; desire to be alone, to have time for oneself; also fear to go outside because of the feeling to be unprotected; needing the house as an extra protection.

Unfeeling; indifference; doesn’t care about oneself and the household/untidy/unable to tidy up at home.

Anticipation (diarrhoea)

Want of self-esteem; neglects oneself; feeling of not fulfilling the expectations of Life, of others, her husband/his wife; feeling of not being considered, of no longer being

physically attractive; trying to fulfil the expectations of others; never angry; avoiding conflicts.

Intercourse; weak libido; wants to be held, to be caressed, but aversion to sex [NB the polarity of this symptom came out in the male provers].

Desires sweets.

Skin: eczema; eczema with thick, brown-yellow crusts with dreadful itching all over the body; itching skin; circumscribed eczema with a red border; molluscae; psoriasis.

Falling out of hair; dry hair; grey hair.

Headache; migraine, vomiting.

Chilliness; icy coldness cutting to the bones, sometimes # heat; coldness of feet, hands, nose.

Flushes during/after Menopause; flushes from exertion, mental or physical [NB emotions (irritability) in the female prover associated with a rise in body temperature].

Unrefreshed sleep; restless sleep; shouting during sleep; frequent waking owing to worries; difficulty in falling asleep.

Many similarities between the proving of Lac-m and Lac-h, and also some vital differences.

With the benefit of modern research into the essential role that human milk plays in the potentiation of all biological systems, (especially that of the CNS and GIT), it is

to be expected, according to the Doctrine of Signatures, that a homoeopathic medicine made from human milk would possibly have a similar sphere of influence.

And, certainly, before undertaking the supervision of this proving it had been my clinical experience, through extensive use of Lac-h, that the therapeutic efficacy of that remedy did indeed revolve mainly around the mind/CNS and the GIT.

Therefore, since this remedy was made from the milk of 9 women, (including secretions from one woman in the colostral phase and possibly from one in the involuting phase of the lactation), it was my expectation that the proving would provide added emphasis regarding the efficacy of the use of the remedy on the physical body, since the protective aspects of human milk are heightened during the colostral and involuting phases.

In fact, it turned out to be the complete opposite with Lac-m having much more emphasis on the mental/emotional state, therefore giving approbation to the work already

done by Tinus Smits, and establishing that these two milk remedies are not, in fact, identical. As in Lac-h, many rubrics in Lac-m do have an affinity to the cognitive and digestive processes; and, indeed, the proving brought out many similar or identical rubrics. However, the rubrics pertaining to the mind, dreams, delusions and vertigo all reflect the struggle to come to terms with living and functioning within the confines of the human body, and do constitute the bulk of the proving.

Tinus Smits has stated that the main issue of the Lac-m state is to do with anxiety regarding incarnation into the physical world, and a continued tendency to disassociate

from the body. To this end, it struck me, in collating all this material, that many of the rubrics from this proving put one in mind of the process of Birth.

There are a large number of rubrics describing intense pressure on the head, neck and upper back, aggravated by bending the head forward and turning it and ameliorated

by extending the head back and straightening up the body.

There is also a rubric describing pressure first on one shoulder then on the other (and another, describing the dislocation of one!) These all mimic perfectly the initial aligning

of the head in the bony pelvis and the flexion and extension experienced by the baby during the birthing process. That the headache is also ameliorated by [rocking back and forth] puts one in mind of the instinctive rocking motion that all mothers tend to adopt while holding their babies.

Added to this are all the rubrics describing a lack of appetite and a desire to sleep, which are both normal physiological events during the first few hours after Birth, following the initial period of alertness (also reflected in rubrics).

It could be surmised that this tendency to sleep for an extended period following the initial alert period (required to allow the baby to search for the nipple), is due to a combination of sheer exhaustion and oxytocic bliss. To that end it is interesting that the provings of both Lac-h and Lac-m produced the rubric [alcohol aggravates], as it has been demonstrated through research that alcohol dampens the oxytocin response.

There are also rubrics reflecting a state of intense aggravation from bright light with a desire to squint and ones indicating a heightened sensitivity of the nasal mucosa.

Added to this are those rubrics describing the tendency to bleed freely from cuts and grazes with a reluctance for the blood to clot. These put one in mind of the period following Birth when the baby is at risk of haemorrhagic trauma due to a relative excess of unconjugated bilirubin (Quelle: remedia.at) and a deficit of vitamin K.

Even the stool is watery (like a baby’s) and dark and reddish-brown, those rubrics similarly reflecting an excess of bilirubin at the expense of biliverdin.

I would venture to suggest, therefore, that it is the colostral aspect of Lac-m which makes all the difference, and that it possibly contains some sort of morphogenetic resonance reflecting the baby’s memory of the birth experience, and his/her reluctance to accept the confines of the physical body after residing in the astral or spiritual dimensions.

“To Be, or not to Be?” is, indeed, the question; and it perhaps most succinctly defines the dilemma associated with the Lac Maternum type.

This is consistent with the “alternating states” aspect of Lac-m and is further reflective of the possibility that the Vital Force, in the initial post-partum period, engages in

a process of association # disassociation with the physical body, followed by a gradual acceptance of physicality as it allows itself to become grounded through the suckling process.

This process of alternation between states possibly comes to completion once the body [straightens] when a state of ambulation is achieved. This is also consistent with Piaget’s stage of “Object Constancy” and Erikson’s stage of “Autonomy versus Free Will”. Both of these stages occur around months when the baby has learnt to appreciate a sense

of separateness, having successfully negotiated Erikson’s initial stage of “Trust versus Mistrust.” The dream of prover 0 on day of the proving perhaps then expresses this transition from “the Saloon where I would expect to be more comfortable to singing, dancing and drinking in steerage.”

As mammals, we humans are born into bodies which are still in a considerably under-developed state requiring completion at the breast. So, the hesitancy with which the Vital Force views the prospect is perhaps understandable. However, it is through breastfeedinging that all babies gradually become entrained with the rhythms of Mother Earth since human milk is a complete food which contains the full complement of planet Earth’s biologic and mineral diversity. Research has demonstrated that optimum

Lac maternum (Lac-mat) = Milch von mehrere Frauen

Mother’s milk is, at least for infants, the most wonderful beverage. And an aversion to it is possibly the most strange, rare, peculiar and meaningful aversion we encounter in our case taking.

Lac maternum is made from the milk of nine women collected from day 3 (colostrum) to 10 months following partuition. Tinus Smits had the remedy prepared by Dolisos Pharmacy in the Netherlands.

He had extensive experience with the use of Lac humanum (made from the mature milk of one woman) and decided to prove Lac maternum.

“Taurine deficiency therefore, sets the “wellness” thermostat for life. As a homoeopath it intrigues me that this is a sulphur-based amino acid and its role seems to suggest that

it may possibly be implicated with Psora. Sufficient taurine will result in optimal function of the aforementioned system (central nervous system and pancreas; organs related to transmitting diabetes to the next generation) while deficiency and lack seem to be the keynotes of a system deprived of taurine. It seems that Eve, with her “desire for apples”,

is the original Sulphur and therefore possibly progenitor of Sulphur and therefore possibly progenitor of Psora. We perhaps would have been a good deal better off had she rejected the apple in favour of eating the snake!”

Accepting the principle that one becomes what one eats I think the author’s last statement remains to be seen.

The proving symptoms are written out fully and grouped according to chapters of the repertory, followed by a listing of rubrics divided in the same way. Although the provers were few, the symptoms are well divided over mind and body. Attempting to summarise the proving the author mentions five themes:

• Disconnection between the spirit and the physical body

• Alternating states and sides

• Confusion of mind

• Indifference; detachment

• Heightened senses; sensitive to

Allerlei: The oneness of the nursing mother and her baby has always fascinated mankind. Like lovers, they are united both physically and spiritually. Unlike lovers, their union lacks the ambivalence and tensions of sexuality.

The Egyptians portrayed their chief goddess, Isis, with the infant Horus at her breast.

Christianity reveres the Madonna, the image of mother and infant, as a symbol of pure love.

The Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, speaks of compassion and altruism as first learned at a mother’s breast, as the mother gives of herself to her child.

Artists throughout history and around the world have been inspired by the nursing couple, to convey in stone and clay and paint, two souls who are one.

In addition to all the known benefits of human milk, it’s also clear that the act of breastfeeding is beneficial. Research shows that breastfeeding leads to optimal brain development.

Breastfeeding’s contribution to optimal oral development means less risk of malocclusion - and perhaps lower orthodontist bills! Bottle-fed babies have a higher risk of baby bottle tooth decay, as well.

The skin-to-skin contact with mother provides optimal nurturing and an almost automatic close emotional attachment. Suckling at the breast optimizes hand-to-eye coordination (regular “side-switching“).

Even in the rare cases when the mother can’t produce enough milk, or for adopted babies, supplemental systems can allow mother and baby to enjoy a breastfeeding relationship.

Phytologie: Muttermilch bei vielen Infektionen, wenn man sie äußerlich als Medikament aufträgt.
