[Léon Scheepers]

A proving favors the health of the prover (Organon§ 141 footnote 1)?

Tropism: In this proving was observed that every prover is reacting at the level of his weak organ(s).

Prover 1 develops a stiff neck and is not able to turn her neck to the right side.

Prover 3 develops a tremendous sleepiness with yawning and diarrhoea with flatulence: weakness of the liver.

Prover 4 develops a emotionality more than normal. Normally the emotions are dominated by the intellect. This prover was operated as a child in her left eye. During the proving she has the

feeling that some object was in her left eye.

Prover 5 develops symptoms at the bladder. This prover once was suffering from kidney stones. A cold with a nasal speech this prover may have beside the proving but not

accompanied with the tremendous sneezing. As a child he was suffering from many colds. Sleepiness in the afternoon may be a problem for this prover.

Prover 6 is dreaming a lot normally. Very lively and pleasant dreams. This prover develops the most of his symptoms in his dreams.

Prover 7 has a very vulnerable back and bowels. His symptoms during the proving are mainly in these two areas.

 

Common symptoms:

Better concentration and clearness of the mind.

Irritability prover

Dreams about competitions prover

Dreams of climbing a very steep slope prover

Dreams of walking in the nature following a small trail going down very steep. prover

Dreams running up this mountain prover

Dreams in colours prover

Dreaming during the proving, normally not dreaming at all prover

Dreaming normally, but not during the proving prover

Nightmares prover

Clarke talks about “many dreams”

Frontal headache prover

Dryness of mouth, relieved by little drinking prover

Dehydrated feeling morning on waking prover

More thirsty last week with a dry mouth.

Nevertheless he was not drinking more than normal. prover

Sudden onset of diarrhoea prover

Backache prover

Faingnaert speaks about dorsalgia Th 8. Prover 1 localises the pain exactly at that level.

Refreshing sleep despite of the bad sleep. Normally sleeping well prover

Fit feeling despite loss of sleep prover

Very often symptoms are experienced as very annoying. The backache of prover 1 was an example of this very annoying pain. Also the pain in the right hypochondria of prover .

He even had to stop the intake of the granules. We also see a very annoying throat ache in one prover.

Beside the competition in the dreams of prover 1 and 6, we see the feeling of being attacked in the dream with the crab of prover 6. It makes you think at an animal aspect.

 

Cured symptoms:

Itching at the legs prover

Winter hands

Emotions predominated by the intellect

E-mail: of one prover:

“Concerning these emotions I have to say that I still show and follow my emotions more than I did before the proving. I think that the self-observation

done before and during the proving learned me to look at myself. This was a positive experience for me. Before the proving my emotions were really

dominated by the intellect, now I take in consideration more my emotions”

Taking of the product in October 2005. prover 4

Deficient organisation of work

This kind of pain found in this proving.
