Ebur africanum (= dens Elephas/= Elfenbein)
Kann nicht vergessen und vergeben
- weder anderen noch sich selbst. Er ist ein stiller Beobachter, dünnhäutig und
leicht verletzlich, seine 'Stinkwut' und andere Gefühle zeigt er aber nicht. Er
merkt sich seinen Peiniger und irgendwann, zu einem unvermuteten Zeitpunkt,
erfolgt die Rache. Im Traum folgt Elephas 'dem Weg
des Blutes.' Von seinen Beschwerden sagt er, dass sie sich 'wie ein roter
Faden' durch sein Leben ziehen. Die Wunden von Elephas
heilen schlecht und bluten lange; bewährt ist die Arznei bei langem Nachbluten
nach einer Zahnextraktion.
Elephas hat immer wieder Nasenbluten und bekommt leicht blaue Flecke. Die Farbe Rot, die ihn an Blut erinnert, kann Elephas nicht ausstehen. Rache und unheilsam blutende Wunden: Das sind auch
2 Kernelemente von Nit-ac. doch Elephas ist viel
warmherziger und zerrissen zwischen Vergeltungsimpuls und ehrlicher
Versöhnungsbemühung. Er quält sich voller Reue und Selbstvorwürfe und kann sich
nicht verzeihen, wie viel Porzellan er in Beziehungen zu geliebten Menschen
durch Fehlverhalten zerschlagen hat. Immer wieder plagt ihn die Angst, andere
verletzt zu haben. In Wut schmeißt er Dinge durch die Gegend und steht sich
selbst im Weg. Er kommt sich vor wie in einer Sackgasse; mit dem Auto im Stau
zu stehen hält er nicht aus. Das Gefühl von Familienverbund ist stark, ein Elephas-Kind
'hängt' regelrecht an einem
Lieblingsgeschwister oder einer Lieblingstante.
Elephas-Erwachsene
kommen nicht von den Beziehungen der Vergangenheit los. Die Erinnerung an eine
Abtreibung ist mit den Bildern von Blutklumpen und vielen Schuldgefühlen über
Vergangenes verknüpft.
Elephas
hat ziemliche Höhenangst, vor allem seine Angst, von einer Brücke ins Wasser zu
fallen oder vom 3-Meter-Brett ins Schwimmbecken zu springen, fällt auf. Er
träumt von einer Flutwelle und die Tochter fiele ins Wasser. Elephas badet aber gerne ausgiebig, er ist beweglich und
macht gern einen Kopfstand.
Elephas
liebt alles Große, große Tiere wie Elefanten, Büffel und Wale. Bei den Pflanzen
haben es ihm große, starke Bäume wie Eichen angetan. Wie Quercus
hängt Elephas an der Vergangenheit.
Als kleinkarierter Sammler kann er
selbst das Spielzeug aus seiner Kindheit nicht zum Sperrmüll bringen. Beim
Öffnen alter, staubiger Akten überkommt ihn Niesreiz. Die Nase ist chronisch
verstopft durch
hypertrophierende
Polypen, die selbst durch Dauerkortison und verstümmelnde Operationen nicht im
Zaum gehalten werden können. Alter Schleim läuft den Rachen hinab.
Elephas
hat eine Abneigung gegen Fleisch und Wurst; stattdessen isst er große Mengen
rohe, vegetarische Kost; der Stuhl ist reichlich und enthält unverdaute
Nahrungspartikel. Abends schlägt
er sich den Bauch voll und schläft
dann schlecht. Schon die Milchzähne von Elephas sind
kariös. Er knirscht mit den Zähnen und beißt sich in etwas fest; er träumt, er
verliert einen Zahn.
Elephas
leidet unter Zahnnervenreizung (<? durch Wärme oder Kälte) und
'bleistiftförmigen' Gesichtsneuralgien mit einschießenden Schmerzen. Die Haut
juckt und zwingt zum Kratzen, bis es roh ist. Nicht unerwähnt bleiben soll,
dass Elephas vom ehemaligen Bundesaußenminister
Hans-Dietrich Genscher geträumt hat.

Why a proving of Loxodonta africana:
Provings are unique to homoeopathy and are essential
in the practice of medicine in assisting with the understanding of the action
of a particular
Thus investigation into the potential use of a wide range of substances
is fundamental in expanding the repertoire of homoeopathic remedies that are
available. Though many remedies already exist there
is still so much potential for the development of new remedies produced
from new substances. These newly proven remedies could be used in cases where
previously partial or less closely indicated remedies have been used in
treatment, and could potentially produce a cure due to it being more similar
than the original remedy that was used (O‟Reilly,
1996:162). Thus the accurate and articulate experimentation into the curative
effects of new substances is essential to the success of homoeopathy and
without new provings homoeopathy would stagnate (Sherr, 1994:8). It has been noted by Sherr,
that the most significant and appropriate medicine will be found within our
surrounding environment (Sherr, 1994:49). Currently
within South Africa only a few potential substances that are accessible to us
have been proven, thus the majority of the homoeopathic remedies that are
available are derived from exotic sources. Though, recently a number of provings of native substances have been undertaken
including Sutherlandia frutescens
(Cancer bush)(Webster, 2002), Naja mossambica mossambica (Mozambique
spitting cobra) (Smal, 2004) and Bitis
arietans arietans (Puffadder)(Wright, 1999). Ivory from the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) was chosen as
the substance to be used in this particular proving due to the lack of mammal
remedies besides the milks (e.g. Lac leoninum, Lac Loxodonta africana) and the
significance of the animal being the largest land mammal in the world as well
as being native to Africa.
[Nancy Herrick]: Lac Loxodonta africana, milk of an African elephant. A variety of themes:
homelessness, brutality, violence, murder and not enough food that reflected
the conditions of living that the elephant experienced.
A more natural state was also noted with themes and interests in air,
water, food, feeding others and a feeling of positive emotions, timelessness
and theorizing about the substance.
Ivory trade: been banned since 1989, fortunately due to the nature of
the preparation of a homoeopathic remedy only minute quantities will be
required to produce a life time supply of the remedy thus has an insignificant
impact on possible illegal trade in ivory.
Lineage: Loxodonta africana
belongs to the order Proboscidea. The earliest known
ancestor of Proboscidea was a small pig-like creature
named Moeritherium. This creature inhabited northern
Africa 50 million years ago. Moeritherium was
significantly smaller than the elephant today only having a shoulder height of
0.6 m, and also lacked the trunk that is so significant to the elephant today.
The teeth and skull were however very similar.
A variety of forms, each adapting to the diverse habitats, arose from
the Moeritherium, and has been classified into five
families, namely the Moeritheridae, the Gomphotheridae, the Mastodontidae,
the Dinotheridae, the Elephantidea.
Only one still exists, the Elephantidea, the
remainders are all extinct. The family Elephantidea
consists of modern elephants and two species of Mammoths namely the Imperial
Mammoth (Mammuthus imperator) and the Woolly Mammoth
(Mammuthus primigenius),
both extinct. The only two remaining species of the family are the Indian
elephant (Elephas maximus)
and the African elephant (Loxodonta africana). There are two sub-species of the African
elephant, the most common the savanna or bush
elephant Loxodonta africana
and the more elusive forest elephant Loxodonta africana cyclotis (Skinner and Smithers,1990:545).
The substance of this proving was obtained from the savanna
elephant (Loxodonta africana).
The adult African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the largest of all land mammals weighing up to
7000 kg, but averaging 5750kg in males and 3800kg in females
(Frandsen,1992:128). At birth the elephant averages 120kg and has an average
shoulder height of 90cm (Skinner and Smithers,1990:552).
The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) has an average shoulder height of 3 meters. The
life expectancy can range from 55 to 70 years (Walker,1992:117). The elephant
has an extremely thick skin and may reach 30mm to 40mm in areas such as the
legs, trunk and back. The skin is grey or brownish-grey and is creased and
folded giving it a gnarled appearance, and contains no sweat glands. The body
may be sparsely covered by bristly hairs especially in juveniles. The tail,
being up to 1.5m long, is tipped and fringed by many long, black, bristly hairs
(Skinner and Smithers,1990:546). The elephant has large flat feet that average
50cm long. The fore foot is larger than the hind foot and has five nails as
apposed to the hind foot which has only four nails. The feet have a thick layer
of cartilage, which act as a shock absorber, enabling them to move without
making a sound (Skinner and Smithers,1990:545). The trunk is an extremely
dexterous organ, and has prehensile tips on both upper and lower sides (Skinner
and Smithers,1990:546). The ears are extremely large reaching a height of 2m
and breadth of 1,2m and can weigh up to 20kg but can constitute 20% of the
elephant’s surface area. This is because the ears are a vital organ for
thermoregulation, and have an extensive vascular system that give out
approximately ¾ of the heat loss required to maintain body temperature (Skinner
and Smithers,1990:546).
The eyes are relatively small and usually green or hazel in color. The elephant has no tear ducts so tears run down the
cheeks (Skinner and Smithers,1990:546). The mouth is small and spout shaped,
situated under the trunk (Skinner and Smithers,1990:546).
The male’s testes remain within the body cavity. Females have a single
pair of mammae situated between the forelegs and thus
give distinguishing features to help differentiate the sexes in post pubertal
animals (Skinner and Smithers,1990:545). Another feature that assists in
discerning male elephants from females is the forehead and back. The female
tends to have a slightly more angular and prominent forehead and a straighter
back (Frandsen,1992:128). Elephants have temporal glands on both sides of the
head, with the external orifices midway between the outer canthus
of the eye and the external auditory meatus. This
gland releases a secretion seen as a dark mark down the face usually due to
stress or during musth (Skinner and Smithers,1990:545).
The tusks are elongated upper incisors and differ according to age, sex and
nutritional status of the animal, though males generally have larger tusks
(Skinner and Smithers,1990:545). Elephants only have six pairs of molars, with
two in use at a time.
Over time the molars are worn and splinted away by chewing. The pair
that is worn will be replaced by the next set which are longer and wider.
Finally when all six teeth on each side have been worn away, the elephant has
reached old age and will die due to lack of nutrition (Frandsen,1992:128).
Loxodonta africana
found within two major extremes of habitats - from semi-arid desert to higher
rainfall areas and dense forests (Frandsen,1992:128). What is critical though
is an adequate supply of fresh water and food as elephants consistently require
approximately 170 kg of green food and as much as 160 liters
of water daily (Skinner and Smithers,1990:551). Thus elephants of the more arid
regions have been noted to travel vast distances to locate an adequate food
source covering distances of up to 200km and home ranges as big as 3000km²
(Apps,1994:117), and feed up to 74% of the day to obtain sufficient quantities
of food (Skinner and Smithers,1990:551).
Loxodonta africana
form herds of 10 - 20 individuals but may be as high as 50 individuals.
Elephants have a highly developed social structure and family units are led by
a matriarch, the most experienced cow elephant in the herd. The majority of the
herd is made up of cows the remainder pre-pubescent bulls. Once reaching
puberty at about 10 - 12 years, the bulls will leave the family unit or will be
driven out by the older cows (Walker,1992:117). The older bulls will only join
the herd when the cows are in estrus, and leave again
after mating. The bull elephants will sometimes form small, unstable bachelor
groups, usually one older male with two or three younger males (Apps,1994:117).
Elephants are not territorial but will occupy home ranges, moving within the
area depending on seasons and availability of food. Due to the great volumes of
water that is required the elephant will go to a water site at least once a
day. The water and mud pools also provide wallowing sites to cool down and coat
the skin in mud which gives it protection from parasites. Elephants are also
known for dust baths which like the mud also assists in protecting the skin
from parasites. Elephant are also surprisingly good swimmers using their trunks
as snorkels, and have been seen in the middle of Lake Kariba
swimming for up to 27 hours (Apps,1994:117).
The elephant will spend the majority of the day feeding on a variety of
grasses and trees. Due to their primitive digestive system the elephant
requires up to 170 kg of green food as only 40% of what they eat will be
digested (Skinner and Smithers,990:551). Using the trunk to pull at branches,
trees are often destroyed in an attempt to get to the leaves that are out of
reach (Apps,1994:117).
The elephant’s trunk is a significant organ with amazing dexterity and
power, used to pick up a single seed pod or tear down trees. During drinking,
the elephant will draw water into the trunk and then empty it down the throat,
in a similar fashion the elephant can suck up dust for a dust bath. The trunk
is also an important sense organ used for communication through touch and smell
(Apps,1994:117). The tusks are used for digging for roots and water, for chiseling bark off trees and as weapons of defense against predators and competitors. The tusks
continue to grow throughout life to compensate for the constant wear and tear
to which they are exposed (Apps,1994:118).
The elephant can often be seen flapping its ears, this is to assist in
cooling the elephant due to the complex network of blood vessels in the ear
(Apps,1994:117). Generally the elephant is a placid animal but may become
aggressive if sick, injured or harassed. Male elephants can also be a lot more
temperamental during musth. When threatened the
elephant may charge, but two distinctive features have been noted. The first is
the mock charge, were the elephant wishes to assert itself or show dominance.
This display is done with the trunk in the air, ears flapping and loud
trumpeting. If however the elephant
is intent on confronting they will charge with the trunk hanging, ears
laid flat and in absolute silence. At top speed the elephant can reach 40 km/h
(Frandsen,1992:128). The elephant has a highly developed social structure. If
any animal is sick or injured the group will stay with that animal to defend
and support it. The calves are well looked after getting help from all members
of the group where needed, helping to climb banks or pulling from the mud. If a
member of the group dies the herd will often stay with the body for hours
after, and even come back days down the line (Apps,1994:122).
Elephants communicate through touch, scent, sight and sound. The low
frequency calls can carry for at least 2km, but is below the range of human
hearing. Unique scents are released through the temporal gland secretions and
are thought to help with recognition of each other and their emotional state.
Touch is also a very important part of the elephant’s communication and
elephants can often be seen caressing each other with their trunks
(Apps,1994:122). While the females are in estrus the
bulls older than 35 years, will guard and mate with a female at the most favorable time for conception. Mating takes place
approximately every 8 hours, and is received with excitement throughout the
female’s social group. The younger males between 25 and 35 years will mate with
the estrus females but only early and late in the
period where conception is less likely. Males less than 25 years are unable to
compete for access to the females in estrus
(Apps,1994:122). The elephant has a gestation period of 22 months, and will give
birth to one or rarely two calves (Walker,1992:117). The female squats to give
birth to protect the calf from injury. The calf will begin to nurse within a
few hours, using the mouth and not trunk, and continue to suckle for two to
three years. If in event of the mother dying the other females in the group
will take over the role of suckling and nurturing of the orphaned calf
(Apps,1994:122). 2.2.2.5 Musth: Musth
occurs in male elephants older than 25 years, and occurs due to a surge in
testosterone. Initially musth will only last a few
days but gradually gets longer as the elephant gets older.
At 30 years musth will last up to 3 months,
and as long as 7 months in males of 45 years. After this age the musth period will gradually reduce again (Apps,1994:120).
During musth the elephant’s temporal glands
swell secreting a sticky fluid that stains the sides of the face. The elephant
will massage the gland with his trunk and rub against trees.
Uncharacteristically urine will be continually dribbled from the sheathed
penis. The urine stains the penis a green color and
has a powerful odour. The musth elephant walks with
the head high and chin tucked in, the ears are tensed and spread and the head
swings in time with the pacing. The musth bull
becomes very aggressive during this period and will challenge other elephants
at any stage. A non-musth bull will never challenge a
musth bull, but always retreat. On the other hand
when two musth bulls meet the two will battle in a
test of strength and motivation, giving a true indication of an elephant bull’s
status.
The vanquished bull will return to ordinary condition once defeated. A musth bull will cover vast distances in search of sexually
receptive cows. When a mate has been found the musth
bull will guard the cow from other males (Apps,1994:120). 2.2.3 The composition
of ivory:
When ivory is examined in a transverse section it reveals wavy line of
different shapes. These wavy lines are formed by exceedingly minute tubular
structures assembled together in concentric rows.
The smallest rows are immeasurably fine, while the largest average
1-1000 of an inch. These tubes serve to render the entire tissue exceptionally
tough and elastic (Kunz, 2007). The bulk of the tusk consists of dentine which
is ensheathed by a layer of cementum
(Sikes,1971:45).
According to Raubenheimer ivory is composed of
both organic and inorganic compounds (Raubenheimer,
1998:641). Raubenheimer conducted research on the geographical
variations in the composition of ivory from the African elephant (Raubenheimer, 1998:641). For the purpose of this research
dissertation the composition of ivory taken from samples of elephants resident
in the Kruger National Park was used as an indication of the composition of the
ivory used in the production of the remedy. Exists of: C, N, Sr, Ca, P, Mg, F. Other trace elements: As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, Mn, hydroxyproline, Ni, Fe, Zn,
Mo and Al. In the analyses of the organic fraction 17 amino acids were
identified. Traditional use in Chinese medicine: as an aphrodisiac. The demand
in ivory is more prevalent in the manufacturing of crafts and not considered to
have any medicinal value in allopathic medicinal practices (Barbier,
1990).
[Sigrid Häse]
Elephas, das Elfenbein, ist ein blutiges, rachdurstiges Mittel, und bei diesem Mittel muss ich sofort an die vom Islam geforderte Blutrache und Ehrenmorde denken. Auge um Auge, Zahn um Zahn. Innerlich zerrissen von Vergeltungsgefühlen und echtem Wunsch nach Versöhnung.
Genauso wenig, wie der Elephas Patient anderen Fehler verzeihen kann, kann er sich selbst vergeben. Selbstvorwürfe, Reue und die Erkenntnis eigener Schuld quälen ihn. Elephas hat ein Elefantengedächtnis für alle emotionalen Vergehen, die von anderen und die von ihm selber.
Familie geht ihm über alles, für die Familie opfert er sich auf, wer ein Familienmitglied angreift, greift ihn persönlich an. Vergangenheit nimmt einen großen, zu großen Raum, ein und lässt Freuden der Gegenwart und Visionen für die Zukunft gar nicht zu. Körperliche Beschwerden sind blaue Flecke, Blutungen aller Art, chronisch vergrößerte Polypen mit ständig verstopfter Nase, kariöse Zähne schon als Kind, Gesichtsneuralgien, blutig gekratzte Haut und Verlangen nach vegetarischer Kost.
