Abstract: Dr. Mirjana Zivanov offers an in-depth portrait
of the remedy Magnesium muriaticum, revealing its dynamic oscillation between
the extremes of anger and peace. It is
about the essence itself, including the themes of the remedy, aggravations,
ameliorations, remedies that follow, and those that precede it.
The Mag-m. personality is drawn toward achieving profound inner and
universal PEACE. Upon reaching this
state of calm, an opposing force from deep within arises, triggering a wave of
ANGER that swiftly unravels the peace they fought to attain.
Note: The Matrix Method is based on the concept of individual Codes of a
person, central to life and development of that person. The Matrix method helps us recognize this
Code and prescribe the Simillimum, that has the same Code as that person. In the Matrix Method the Code is the very
essence of the remedy.
The Codes of the remedies used in the Matrix method were discovered by
Dr. Mirjana Zivanov, using the Matrix
proving. Over a decade, her team
rigorously tested these findings in their daily homeopathic regimen. Consequently, Dr. Zivanov has invested a significant portion of
her career - ten years out of two
decades - focusing on the research and
refinement of the Matrix method.
Ancient Healing
Practices
The Healing Waters of Ancient Springs
Throughout history, natural mineral springs have been revered for their
healing properties. Many of these
springs contained magnesium chloride and other beneficial minerals. One of the most famous examples is the Dead
Sea, known for its high concentration of salts, including magnesium
chloride. For thousands of years, people
from various ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and
Romans, visited the Dead Sea to benefit from its therapeutic properties. The water’s unique composition was believed
to help with skin conditions, joint pain, and other ailments. Legends told of the
waters having mystical powers to rejuvenate the body and even prolong
life.
In ancient Rome, the tradition of visiting mineral baths for health
benefits was widespread. The Roman
baths, known as thermae, were not only social centers but also places of
healing, where people would soak in waters enriched with various minerals,
including magnesium. The belief was that
the minerals absorbed through the skin could restore health and vitality.
Throughout the ages, kings and queens have sought the restorative powers
of the Dead Sea, renowned for its healing effects on skin conditions and its
potent natural beauty treatments. Often
considered the world’s oldest spa, the Dead Sea boasts a staggering 34%
salinity - nearly 9x saltier than the
ocean - imbued with a remarkably high
concentration of Mag-m. (magnesium chloride).
Magnesium, a vital mineral for the human body, has always found its
primary source in sea salt, a staple in diets across the globe since ancient
times. Its benefits extend beyond
nutrition, as the therapeutic properties of Mag-m. also support the digestive
system and reveal their magic in skin treatments, as the age-old practices at
the Dead Sea have long demonstrated.
With the highest natural concentration of Mag-m. on Earth, the Dead Sea
stands as the ultimate symbol of this healing mineral. Unlike other bodies of water, the Dead Sea
has no outlet, causing intense evaporation that leaves behind a rich sediment
of salts, mud, and minerals - creating
an unparalleled reservoir of nourishment and healing.
Nestled within the Great African Syrian Rift between Israel and Jordan,
the Dead Sea rests 423 meters below sea level.
Travellers descend winding roads, where camels roam and palm trees line
the path, into a deep valley surrounded by ancient mountains. At the heart of this captivating landscape
lies the Dead Sea - a glistening gem of
natural beauty and wonder.
These historical and cultural connections between magnesium, salt, and
healing practices highlight the enduring belief in the power of natural
elements, tracing back to traditions that have shaped our understanding of
health and wellness for millennia.
Cleopatra herself is said to have used its mineral-rich waters to
maintain her beauty.
Alchemy, Salt, and Spiritual Transformation
In the world of alchemy, salt was one of the three primary substances
(alongside mercury and sulfur) believed to represent the three principles of
matter. Salt was seen as a symbol of
purity, preservation, and the life force itself. Alchemists sought to transform base materials
into noble ones, such as turning lead into gold, and saw salt as a crucial
element in this process because of its purifying nature.
Though Mag-m. (magnesium chloride) was not specifically mentioned in
alchemical texts, the association of various salts with purification aligns
with the alchemists’ spiritual practices.
They believed that substances could be “purified” through processes involving
salt, which in turn could purify the soul.
In this way, salt - and by
extension, mineral salts like magnesium chloride - had an almost sacred status.
Central European Folklore: The Magic of Mineral Springs
Modern Wellness Practices Involving Magnesium Chloride
Today, magnesium chloride is used in wellness practices such as “float
therapy” or sensory deprivation tanks, where high concentrations of magnesium
salts are dissolved in water to create a zero-gravity experience. The practice
is said to promote relaxation, alleviate stress, and help with muscle recovery.
The idea of floating in mineral-rich water as a form of therapy connects back
to ancient practices of seeking healing in natural mineral springs.
Mag-m. may not have its own specific legends, its role as a healing
mineral aligns with long-standing traditions of using mineral-rich waters for
physical and spiritual health.
These stories and practices highlight the enduring human fascination
with the power of natural elements.
Here is the molecular structure of magnesium chloride (MgCl₂). The magnesium ion (Mg˛⁺) is represented
by a blue sphere, while the chloride ions (Cl⁻) are shown as yellow
spheres, with lines indicating their ionic interaction.
Let’s delve deeper into the essence of Mag-m. and explore its very soul.
The basic idea of the remedy Mag-m. lies in the Code of the remedy, and its
essence is the movement from the feeling of ANGER, which usually arises as a
result of some injustice, to the feeling of PEACE, which is constantly sought.
Here is the abstract illustration of two tall vertical pillars rotating
towards each other, with a person being drawn in between. The rotating pillars represent a Code. ”
The Code of the Remedy is ANGER – PEACE.
The Code demonstrates the duality of human emotions or experiences. It implies a conceptual framework where ANGER
and PEACE are intertwined, representing 2 sides
of the same coin.
If Morphinum
and Lotus are the embodiment of play, naivety, and young children, Mag-m. is an
example of work, experience, someone who is mature, responsible, and reliable,
a just and exemplary parent, along with Galanthus nivalis.
Patient: “This person doesn’t respect (Lyc) that person. It’s an injustice (Mag-m, Arg-n). I get ANGRY
(Mag-m) because this one didn’t respect (Lyc) that one, and the
one who watches from the side is just INDIFFERENT (Kali-p). It raises my blood pressure. ”
Doctor: “How do you react when you are ANGRY (Mag-m)? Imagine, think of
situations when you were angry, we all get angry sometimes…”
Patient: “Well, I get ANGRY (Mag-m) every day. In that situation my blood pressure maybe
rises, I don’t know. I lose patience
(Mag-m), I don’t like when someone is
late for work (Mag-m), I like punctuality (Mag-m). If I were ever late
delivering something, it would only be by a very small margin…”
Another example when a person in the state of the remedy Mag-m. gets
stuck in the opposite ANGER:
Patient: ” Some workers were scheduled to come and install new
windows. They promised but didn’t show
up. The next day, I heard they were
downstairs (Mag-m), at
my neighbor’s place, but didn’t come to us! That really upset me…”
Doctor: “Did that make you ANGRY? (Mag-m)” Matrix fishing
Matrix fishing is a technique in which the homeopath invokes one of the
opposites from the Code of the remedy, which he or she suspects could be the
patient’s Simillimum – Soul remedy or Karmic – situational remedy. Then, the homeopath observes the patient’s
reaction to see if the patient has ‘taken the bait. ’
Patient: “Yes, because those neighbors are our friends, and they didn’t
tell me (Mag-m)!”
Doctor: “That was the trigger!”
Patient: “Yes, that’s ANGER (Mag-m).
The windows in that room need to be replaced because we’ll be
celebrating Slava, and then my son’s baby will be born soon.
The baby is supposed to be in that room.
The biggest trigger was our friendship! (Mag-m) How could they not tell
me (Mag-m): ‘Hey, they’re not coming, they cancelled because they came to our
place first!’ Or something like that.
Instead, I’m the one calling to find out when the window installers are
coming, and the guy doesn’t even
answer. ”
Doctor: “How did you feel then?”
Patient: “Terrible, because she’s my best friend. (Mag-m) She comes over, we drink coffee,
we’re together all the time. She could
have told me (Mag-m): ‘Those people were at our place, they’re not coming, they
cancelled!”
Doctor: “How did you feel at that moment?”
Patient: “Betrayed (Mag-m), ANGRY (Mag-m), and that tension (Mag-m), she
could see it in me, but I couldn’t tell her (Mag-m): ‘What kind of friendship
is it if you’re hiding something from me?’ Even if it would hurt me the most,
you should still tell me! (Mag-m)’ That nervousness caused me dizziness
(Mag-m). On Friday, I didn’t fully faint
(Mag-m), but I felt myself sinking (Mag-m), sinking (Mag-m) two or three times,
and then I came back, like I was sinking somewhere (Mag-m). That’s the tension
(Mag-m) inside me! It hurt me (Mag-m), because we’ve been friends for
thirty years! (Mag-m)”
Another Mag-m. patient fainted after being told that her best friend had
committed suicide…
Patient: “I couldn’t believe she did it because of that guy! She had
everything in life! Parents, a house… I felt a strong ANGER (Mag-m) over what
she had done, and
I collapsed to the ground… (Mag-m)”
In the following example, we see how the patient, after receiving the
remedy Magnesium muriaticum, opened up, and the feeling of ANGER (Mag-m)
surfaced:
“After taking the medicine, sadness appeared first, and I cried. Then aggression (Mag-m) followed, a strong
ANGER (Mag-m) – I felt like hitting something, like punching
it out! (Mag-m)”
Mag-m. persons are rational, grounded individuals, as they themselves
say: “Down to Earth!” (Mag-m) They are extremely hardworking (Mag-m), and
nothing is too difficult for them. From
a young age, they are very conscientious and learn a lot of practical skills.
While other children are playing, they are dedicated to helping their parents.
One said: “When we went to visit grandpa in the village, all the kids
were playing, and I was chopping wood (Mag-m) for grandpa. When I finished, I
even asked if the neighbor might need me to chop wood for them too. ”
They are exceptionally honest, and if someone deceives them, they fall
into one of the opposites of their Code – ANGER, and can become very vengeful,
even capable of killing (Mag-m). They are
completely dedicated to their work and disciplined. They wake up early, work all day and truly
love life. For them, work is the meaning
of life. They fall in love with their
profession and are completely devoted to it. (Mag-m)
“When I travel to Montenegro for business, there’s no detouring. I go from point A to point B. I only stop at a roadside restaurant, but if
the restaurant is just 300 meters
off the road, I won’t go. That’s
already a detour and a waste of time. ”
They are very practical and skillful (Mag-m). They can make anything with their hands. Repairs of various devices, machines,
massage, osteopathy and physical therapy are just a few of the fields in which
they excel.
They are very business-oriented, for them, agreements and their word are
law! (Mag-m) They will always be on time and respect the other party. They say
everything they
think without holding back, which can sometimes offend others, but to
them, it’s completely fine because it’s the truth. They feel entitled to say
it.
Patient: “At a birthday party, I told my friend that she had gained a
lot of weight!”
Doctor: “You didn’t seriously say that to her, directly?”
Patient: “I did, why not? It’s the truth!”
In general, they tend to talk a lot (women) (Mag-m).
There is a strong theme of foreign languages. (Mag-m)
Male Mag-m. individuals, despite being talkative, find learning foreign
languages difficult, unlike females, who pick them up much more easily. Women are often translators or teachers of a
foreign language.
Male patient: “I’m bad with languages… That’s what I hold against my
parents the most, that they didn’t enroll me to learn English when I was young!
That’s on the parents!”
Female patient: “I loved languages. I finished French. At home, I speak
exclusively French with my children, while my husband speaks to them in
Serbian. ”
They don’t like walking (Mag-m), unlike a Magnesium phosphoricum person,
who needs and love to walk a lot…
Patient: “My biggest problem, and I’m sure of it, is that I smoke!
(Mag-m) And that I don’t walk! (Mag-m)”
Doctor: “Why don’t you walk?”
Patient: “I used to go hunting, but I don’t even do that anymore!
Laziness (Mag-m), it’s laziness! (Mag-m) I walk a lot every day at work, but that’s
the walking you do daily”
Doctor: “You don’t take relaxing walks in nature?”
Patient: “No! Or, for example, walking from here to my office on foot,
which is about 6 km. I’ve been working
there for seven years and never done it.
So, it’s laziness! You can do anything when you want!”
They like standing and can stand in one place for a long time!
Patient: “I love standing! (Mag-m) It doesn’t bother me. Often, when I’m standing somewhere for a long
time, people say (Mag-m) to me: ‘Sit down!’ And I joke: ‘I’m taller when I
stand! Though there’s not much of a difference!’ Ha, ha, ha!”
He jokes about himself because he is short compared to other people…
“Standing” is one of the themes of his remedy…
“The gypsies were trying to steal a machine from my yard, so I blocked
their way. I stopped (Mag-m), making
them retreat…”
Theme of Hard Work
From a young age, he learns to work because he loves it and is
interested in it. Over time, he becomes
an expert in his field and highly sought after because he always respects
contracts, agreements, and deadlines (Mag-m).
His results are perfect, refined through years of work done with love
and full attention.
He loves working so much that he says: “If only they would move the
clock forward, the day would be longer so I could work more. It wouldn’t bother me if it dawned at
9 h, I wake up at 6 h. anyway and get started… But I just want it to
last longer… Sometimes I work until midnight!”
The first thing the patient asked when he arrived was:
“Do you work on Sundays too?” He works, so it’s normal for him…
When asked how he feels, he says:
“More or less, everything is fine, I wouldn’t point out anything as bad…
The only thing is that I work a lot, but I love to work!”
Doctor: “What fullfils you?”
Patient: “I like working on a device, when I make a device, or finish
setting up a café… That fulfills me! Or when I buy a new, modern machine…
That’s what fulfills me!”
When he injured himself at work and got three stitches on his stomach,
right after going to the emergency room, he returned to work and continued
working…
“One time, when I was cutting something, I hadn’t fastened myself, and
the grinder caught my shirt. I saw the
grinder coming toward me! And as I was pulling it (Mag-m),
I immediately broke it (Mag-m), to destroy it (Mag-m), but it caught me
(Mag-m), and I ended up with three stitches.
But as soon as I came back from the shop, I started driving that same
grinder… I continued to WORK (Tarent)! The other workers said (Mag-m): ‘Come
on, what’s wrong with you? We’re done for the day!’ And I said
(Mag-m): ‘Just so you know, we can continue!’ And they laughed… ‘It
wasn’t the grinder’s FAULT (Bell-p)! I was careless! (Apis)'”
“When they used to take me to the village, grandpa would give me an axe,
and I would chop wood (Mag-m), and grandma would always say (Mag-m) to me:
‘Leave it, son, go play!’ But I kept chopping wood (Mag-m), and I wanted to
chop wood for the neighbors too… (Mag-m)”
Another patient said:
„I enjoy working (Mag-m) and fixing things with tools (Mag-m). Sports don’t interest me at all – I have no
desire to play, watch, or train. I
prefer physical work like shoveling, building, or tearing things down. (Mag-m)
When I go to the gym, my back hurts even more, but I could flip a car
without any pain (Mag-m) because my back issues aren’t from physical damage but
from psychological stress. The
atmosphere in the gym, with all the weights and people, irritates me and makes
me feel worse. (Mag-m)”
Theme of Modesty
Patient: “A car? Oh, no! That’s just for my work, specifically for my
work… Whether I drive a Fiat or a BMW, it’s completely irrelevant! I go from
point A to point B, I’m not demanding!”
Patient: “I eat because I have to eat. ”
Doctor: “You don’t have an appetite?”
Patient: “I do! I get hungry, but it’s not like I’m picky: ‘Oh, now it
has to be this way or that way…’ Or, ‘I’m craving this or that…’ Or, ‘I want to
eat that tomorrow…’
I’m not like that!”
Doctor: “You eat whatever is given to you? (Mag-m)” Matrix potentization
Patient: “Yes, I eat what’s given to me (Mag-m). When I go to a restaurant, I immediately say:
‘Give me this, and take it away…’ I order really fast, whatever I see first,
without overthinking. I do like to try
something new, but to be amazed by it, no! I’m down to Earth! (Mag-m)”
(Gestures downward with his hand (Mag-m) …)
Theme of Honesty
He has his principles and values that he never compromises. He minds his
own business and doesn’t hold grudges. As far as his work is concerned,
everything is done properly, with no shady dealings.
“But everything has to be financially clean, unlike some people who say
(Mag-m): ‘I got this much, and I got that much…’ Not a single cent has ever (he
gestures near his shoulder, as if brushing something off) gone astray!”
Theme of Protection
He is a great parent (Mag-m), an example of a good parent. Hardworking, he creates a lot, provides
everything for his children, and gives them whatever they need. Responsible, rational, grounded, stable,
compassionate, and most importantly, very just.
He stands up for the truth and protects his friends when they are
unfairly accused.
“I was giving a young guy a ride on my motorcycle because he didn’t have
his license yet, he’s still young. When
the police stopped us, they started calling him out about something to do with
his father, which wasn’t his FAULT (Bell-p).
So, I told them nicely (Mag-m) to leave him alone (Mag-m): ‘What does he
have to do with that, he is who he is, and his father is his father!’”
Theme of Language
Doctor: “You didn’t like learning? What was the problem with English?”
Patient: “I didn’t understand it, it just wouldn’t stick…”
Doctor: “It didn’t go well for you?”
Patient: ” Learning foreign languages didn’t go well for me! My best
childhood friend’s grandmother was Hungarian, and I wish she had spoken to us
in Hungarian. If only my parents had
encouraged me saying (Mag-m): ‘Speak in Hungarian…’ Even a little… After all,
it’s a neighboring country, and it would have been good to learn some of the
language. But that’s just how it was. ”
Theme of Falling
Falling from heights - trees,
stairs, roofs - or falling to the ground
due to a blow or shocking news… These falls happen suddenly, as if struck down,
or from slipping.
Serious injuries may occur, such as torn shoulder muscles, sprained
ankles, or hip injuries. Bone fractures
are possible, but in Mag-m. individuals, joint injuries are more common, while in
Lotus, long bone fractures typically occur.
“I fell through a hole in the attic (Mag-m) of a Catholic church, where
we were WORKING (Tarent) on an installation.
I was carrying (Mag-m) a big engine, and they hadn’t properly closed up
a hole (Mag-m, Morph), just plastered it over.
Since it was dark, I fell through (Mag-m), and as I was falling (Mag-m)
…”
Doctor: “And it always turns out fine in the end, you know how to fall!”
Patient: “Whether I know or it’s just luck, I don’t know. ”
Doctor: “You didn’t break anything?”
Patient: “I didn’t, but when I fell (Mag-m) in Cherevic from a cherry
tree (Mag-m), I was left breathless (Mag-m) (He demonstrates how he gasped,
drawing in air twice),
2x but EVERYTHING (Staph) quickly (Mag-m) passed, and I went right back
up the tree (Mag-m)!”
However, falling to the ground can also happen after receiving shocking
news…
One female patient fell to the ground, as if struck down, after being
told her childhood friend had committed suicide. From the shock, she lost consciousness and
collapsed. (Mag-m) After that, her
menstrual cycle stopped, and only after we gave her Mag-m C200 did her period
return and become regular again after ten years!
Another patient:
“I fell (Mag-m) off a motorcycle when a speeding car hit me.
When I was 10, a horse kicked me in the chin, sending me flying across a
field. I landed (Mag-m) in some manure!
It was DISGUSTING (Manc). They had to take me home in a manure cart! But
somehow, things always end well without major consequences. ”
However, in addition to the physical fall, the theme of mental decline
is also present.
Patient: “I have psychological issues that have transferred to my
physical body, causing back pain (Mag-m).
Anxiety from morning until night has shattered me. What a depth that was – God forbid! And then,
deep, deep down (Mag-m) for three days (shows with hand how it goes downward
(Mag-m)), and then up (Lotus), phew! Those two or three days, you keep going
down, and naturally, when you go that far down, it has to let you go at some
point. And when it finally let me go
(Mag-m), in terms of levels –
if we say there’s zero, plus ten, and minus ten – I usually fluctuate
between minus two and minus seven. But
this time, I hit minus seven or eight, got stuck there, and when it finally let
me go, (Mag-m) I surfaced like coming out of water to zero, and I felt great
there! And then it starts pulling me (Mag-m) down (Mag-m) and up (Lotus) again
(Mag-m, Lotus); first comes the feeling, and then the thought follows!
Thoughts amplify that feeling, and then it becomes an avalanche (Mag-m, Stram).
”
In these examples, we can also see that a Mag-m. person, when in good
health, will almost immediately get back up.
Therefore, it is an excellent situational remedy to prescribe immediately
after a fall, often helping the patient get right back on their feet.
“Physically, it’s too heavy (Mag-m), but mentally it takes me on a
rollercoaster, up and down (Mag-m, Lotus). Is it real? Is it not?”
“In terms of levels – if we say there’s zero, plus ten, and minus ten –
I usually fluctuate between minus two and minus seven. But this time, I hit minus seven or eight,
got stuck there, and when it finally let me go (Mag-m) I surfaced like coming
out of water to zero (Mag-m, Lotus), and I felt great there! And then it starts
pulling me (Mag-m) down (Mag-m) and up (Lotus) again (Mag-m, Lotus) …”
As an example of Mag-m. as a
situational remedy, there was an event a few months ago when a white kitten
fell from a tree and landed on its front feet, injuring both and making it
unable to stand. The kitten’s Soul
remedy – Simillimum is Lotus, but for this particular situation - a fall -
it was given Magnesium muriaticum, and it quickly got back on its feet,
even though they were still painful. The
kitten’s recovery was fast and complete.
Theme of Skill
Their hands are always active.
They are incredibly skilled, fast, and love to make things, fix things,
cook, clean, and wash. Nothing is too
difficult for them.
Doctor: “You’re physically strong! Do you train?”
Patient: “I don’t work out, but I can hold my own with anyone (Mag-m),
because I WORK (Tarent). This –
(gesturing to bodybuilding), isn’t the essence… The essence is how much
physical work you can handle, back and forth… I was unloading (Mag-m) a bar
counter, and these YOUNG (Lach) tall guys are standing there, all built up-
(he gestures to show large biceps) I told them (Mag-m): ‘Be careful
(Apis), hold on tight, it’s heavy (Mag-m)…’ And they’re like: ‘Ha, ha, ha…’ As
we picked it up, they
start swaying! I say (Mag-m): ‘Lower it faster (Mag-m), what are you
doing!?’ And they say (Mag-m): ‘When we saw you carrying it, how can we now say
(Mag-m) that
we can’t!?’”
Doctor: “You’re strong!”
Patient: “I’m not strong, I’ve been carrying things all my life (Mag-m),
it’s technique (Mag-m)!”
Theme of Socializing
They are social by nature, usually surrounded by people they work with,
as they spend the entire day at work.
People like and respect them because they are fair and consistent. They often take on a leadership role (Mag-m),
being a person of authority. They handle
this calmly and quietly, but when necessary, they know how to speak louder or
even respond physically. (Mag-m)
Theme of Truth and Lies, Self-Criticism
They are extremely honest, often criticizing others but also being
self-critical.
“It’s NOT the grinder’s FAULT (Bell-p)! I was careless (Apis)!”
Patient: “I used to go hunting, now I don’t even do that, it’s
negligence (Mag-m), just negligence (Mag-m)! I walk a lot every day at work,
but that’s just the routine stuff you do every day. ”

Patient: “Or, for example, to walk from here to my office, that’s about
6 km. I’ve been working there for seven
years, and I’ve never done it. That’s
negligence (Mag-m)!
You can do anything if you want!”
Patient: “I was careless (Apis), my mistake!”
Patient: “But just no lies! (Mag-m) I mean, sometimes you have to lie a
little! (Mag-m)”
Doctor: “Well, little white lies, that’s normal…”
Patient: “There used to be black lies too, sometimes you have to!
(Mag-m)”
A Lotus person never lies, while Mag-m. person is grounded and,
sometimes, they must lie and can lie…
Theme of Physical Injuries
“…Once, when I was cutting something, I didn’t fasten myself, and the
grinder caught my shirt. I saw the
grinder coming toward me, and as I was pulling it, I immediately broke it so it
would stop, but it caught me, and I ended up with three stitches on my stomach.
”
“One time it happened to me (Mag-m), while at the sea in Montenegro,
when I was putting a suitcase in, I made a sudden movement (Mag-m). I bought a Cafetin (painkiller), and after 15
minutes, my back pain (Mag-m) was gone, but until then, I had been driving
hunched and stiff… (Mag-m)”
I told the owner (Mag-m): “I’ll charge you a lot for this glass!”
Now I have to dismantle everything.
It’s a simple task but it doesn’t matter, because it takes a lot of time
just to get it fixed, to complete the process (Mag-m) (Like when tissue heals
after an injury - it needs time to
repair and complete the healing)
Theme of Self-Control
Doctor: “If you had to eat right now, would it make you feel sick? Would
you throw up?”
Patient: “No, I wouldn’t!”
Doctor: “Then why did you stop (Mag-m), why didn’t you eat the cake on
my birthday party?! You know how to stop! (Mag-m)”
Patient: “Well, I could have, but it’s the eyes that are hungry, not the
body!” (He is aware of his body’s needs!)
Theme of Faith
“I’m a believer! I used to go (Mag-m) to church… If they call me to
Hilandar, I’ll go (Mag-m) right now, no problem… Some believers tell me
(Mag-m): ‘How come you haven’t been yet?’ I tell them (Mag-m): ‘Maybe I’m a
bigger believer! So please, silence!’ (He gestures how he put his finger over
his lips) ‘We’re done with that conversation!’ Maybe I believe more with my
heart, while someone else can go to church and sleep in the church…”
Theme of Speed
“When we go to Montenegro, we always keep a certain pace! And when we
are on our way back home, people are pulling me by the arm: ‘Come have lunch!’
But I don’t want to, I fly forward (Mag-m, Lyc) …”
“I love speed (Mag-m), yes… I’ve realized that the best thing to do when
flying is to take a nap because it makes the journey feel even faster!”
Theme of Smoking
“You know what my biggest sin is? That I smoke, that’s the worst thing!
I can say (Mag-m), I had quit smoking, then started again (Mag-m, Lotus), then
quit again (Mag-m, Lotus), and then started again (Mag-m, Lotus), and quit
again (Mag-m, Lotus)!”
Like Lotus, he has the theme of smoking and going in circles…
Complementary Remedy: Argentum Nitricum with the Code PEACE –
RESTLESSNESS
Our patient’s wife is Argentum nitricum.
Their core and shared aspirations are their love for justice, truth, and
protecting the weak and oppressed. They
both love animals. Mag-m. brings stability
and grounding, which is essential for the ethereal and unstable nature of
Argentum nitricum. In their
relationship, he is the Earth, and she is the Sky.
Precodes
1st Precode: Apis mellifica with the Code: PERFECT – AWFUL
When the Precode is unlocked, AWFUL falls happen, especially when
someone yells, “Watch out!” (Apis)
They didn’t watch out (Apis) when coming down the stairs (Mag-m), and
suddenly they slip (Mag-m) and fall (Mag-m), tumbling down (Mag-m)!
Or, “He wasn’t careful (Apis) and fell from the tree (Mag-m)!”
Carelessness (Apis) is the cause, which stems from a disturbance in the
vestibular system. A suppressed skin
rash, treated with allopathic medication, is one of the causes of this
disturbance.
If a bee falls to the ground (Mag-m) (a fall from a height), and doesn’t
fly back up quickly, it enters the state of Magnesium muriaticum. If the ground is cold or it falls on water,
the bee becomes exhausted from attempts to fly off, leading to a state of deep
prostration, akin to paralysis and eventually dies.
2ns Precode: Mancinella with the Code: BEAUTIFUL – DISGUSTING
“I once told my sister that her makeup looked bad… It was really
DISGUSTING!”
Mag-m. is like the dead sea, associated with death. In the Dead Sea, there is no life. If one falls and doesn’t get back up, death
follows (Manc).
Doctor: “We discovered a homeopathic remedy for COVID and even received
an award for it. Because of this, our
unvaccinated patient didn’t need to get the vaccine! Did you have any
symptoms?”
Patient: “Well, that’s a BEAUTIFUL discovery! I had COVID, but it was
nothing special, like a mild flu. ”
Patient: “I fell (Mag-m) off a motorcycle when a speeding car hit me.
When I was 10, a horse kicked me in the chin, sending me flying across a
field. I landed (Mag-m) in some manure!
It was DISGUSTING. They had to take me
home in a manure cart!”
Here is the close-up photograph of magnesium chloride (MgCl₂)
powder, showcasing its fine, crystalline granules.
Similar Remedies:
1. Staphysagria with the Code NOTHING – EVERYTHING
Both remedies are hardworking, working from dawn to dusk for the benefit
of their families, they are honest and love to fight for justice. Staphysagria
is less talkative.
In general, Staphysagria comes off as colder, while Mag-m. is warm. Staphysagria endures, stays silent, and after
a long time, explodes and speaks, while Mag-m. easily speaks out and says daily
what it finds unjust. Both remedies are
very good parents.
Doctor: “So, how do you feel then?”
Patient: “I stay silent (Staph, Mag-m), because he’s driving now, he can
drive wherever he wants…”
“That was the unpleasantness (coughs, entering a “Staph” state) because
they are relaxed, and I’m nervous, uncomfortable – it just doesn’t suit me…
Nobody told me NOTHING, they all kiss me, love me… But it doesn’t resolve
anything for me…”
“I told (Mag-m) the doctor: ‘Which vaccine?’ He says (Mag-m): ‘The
Chinese one!’ I said (Mag-m): ‘You’ve told me EVERYTHING, you don’t have to
explain ANYTHING to me. ”
2. Aurum metallicum with the
Code: HAPPINESS – SORROW
Aurum metallicum is classically associated with the noble metal gold,
symbolizing high value, authority, and strength. It tends toward speculative thinking, meaning
it can deeply engage with matters of philosophy, religion, and
spirituality. Emotionally, with Aurum,
anger often arises as a reaction to inner conflict, while SORROW is the
fundamental emotion that accompanies a sense of hopelessness or unmet goals.
Magnesium muriaticum, on the other hand, as “black gold,” has a
different dynamic. It is more oriented
toward the practical and operational, with a focus on work, movement, and
practical solutions. It has strong
emotional polarities, where ANGER (Mag-m) manifests as a key aspect of the
personality, but this anger is related to blockages or obstructions in
expression, while sorrow arises as a result of unresolved internal tensions.
Both remedies show a tendency toward spirituality and faith, but in
Aurum, this is more pronounced as a quest for deeper meaning and purpose. In
Magnesium muriaticum, religiosity may be more operational, through practice and
rituals.
Thus, the difference between them lies in their fundamental nature:
Aurum metallicum is more inclined toward the abstract and speculative, while
Mag-m. is more focused on action and practical problem-solving.
3. Tarentula hispanica with the Code: WORK – NOT WORK
Both remedies share the theme of work, patience, waiting for the right
moment, and the theme of smoking is also common.
Patient: “The biggest problem for me, and it’s certainly true, is that I
smoke!”
Lycopodium clavatum with the
Code: PRIDE – SHAME
Doctor: “When you decide something, it has to be done that way!”
Patient: “Maybe I didn’t do something correctly (Lyc), but I believe I’m
doing it right (Lyc)!”
Patient: “This person doesn’t respect (Lyc) that person. It’s an injustice (Mag-m, Arg-n). I get ANGRY (Mag-m) because this one didn’t
respect (Lyc) that one, and the one who watches from the side is just
INDIFFERENT (Kali-p). It raises my blood
pressure. ”
Patient: “Disrespect (Lyc) is hard for me! (Mag-m) Yesterday, I was at a
locksmith’s place, and I asked (Mag-m) for something to be brought in… Then he
yells at me:
‘Are you coming or not? Should we bring it in for you?’ And I said:
‘Hold on, let’s get one thing straight (Mag-m), I came here as a friend of this
company, and whether
I carry it or not is my business. You can speak nicely (Carc), but let’s
not talk in that tone (Mag-m)!’ I warned him (Lyc., Apis)!”
“I was always respected (Lyc)! As a master, they had to do it because I
said (Mag-m) I wouldn’t pay until they called me. I was always respected (Lyc)!”
Patient: “It’s wonderful, like in our golden days! But now, the state of
schools is a disaster… There’s no respect (Lyc) anymore!”
5. Arsenicum album with the Code: BURDENED – UNBURDENED
Both remedies work all day and are workaholics, but Arsenicum album
enters a state of restlessness (Ars), where they feel compelled to move, while
Mag-m. works quietly, calmly, and steadily without any noticeable flamboyance.
Patient: “Yes! Thieves (Ars) broke into my yard. I even took a picture of the thief (Ars)!”
6. Galanthus nivalis with the Code: LOST – FOUND
Both remedies are compassionate, just, hardworking, and loved by
children. They work for the sake of
children… Both remedies are also perfect parents, as they are responsible,
rational, reliable, and find nothing too difficult. Galanthus nivalis acts out of heart and love,
while Mag-m. simply feels the need to constantly work, having worked from a
young age… Both remedies love warm milk.
Patient: “No way! I love warm milk or at least milk at room temperature…
(Mag-m, Gala)”
Patient: “Ugh, cold milk! (Mag-m, Gala)”

published in the October issue of Homeopathy4Everyone here:
7. Lachesis muta with the Code:
YOUTH – OLD AGE
Both remedies are talkative (Lach, Mag-m) and prone to skin
flushing. However, Mag-m. doesn’t enjoy
the sea and sunbathing as much as Lachesis muta does.
Mag-m. prefers to sit by the river, on the river, or perhaps in the
forest. Lachesis muta talks constantly
and has a sweeter, winding way of speaking, while Mag-m. in a state
of ANGER (Mag-m), bluntly says everything they have on their mind,
sounding more aggressive and irritable.

Symbols
1. The Dead Sea
In the state of Magnesium muriaticum, the Soul descends after its fall
from the higher realms above. This
descent from the Lotus state ushers in a condition where there is
no turning back upward, binding the soul to the Earth for an extended
time. The Dead Sea, as the Earth’s
deepest depression, reflects the notion that no further fall is
possible while the Soul remains on Earth.
It signifies the moment when a new incarnation begins, a rebirth, after
which the Soul NAVIGATES, FINDS ITS WAY (Gala) forward, entering the state of
Galanthus nivalis. Similarly, the Dead
Sea represents a place of complete stillness, as there is no life in it, which
reflects one of the opposites from the Code of the remedy Mag-m. – PEACE.
2. Lumberjack or woodcutter
The tree represents the soul’s yearning to ascend toward the Divine,
while Mag-m. plays the role of grounding, like one who cuts the tree and brings
the Soul back to Earth.
In this act, the Soul returns to begin a new cycle of rebirth.
“The feeling is like cutting off your own leg with an axe (Mag-m), and
they tell you, ‘It’s fine, be quiet, a new one will grow back. ’”
3. Stop sign –
Mag-m. represents a state of stillness and pause, a moment to step back
and carefully tend to important matters with mindful attention. It offers a sense of stability and inner
peace, allowing for thoughtful reflection and the making of wise decisions
about the path ahead.
4. A stuck-out tongue,
symbolizing someone stepping on you, overwhelmed and under pressure, with the
tongue out as if under a heavy burden.
This image conveys a sense of being weighed down, oppressed, or strained
by external forces, leading to exhaustion or helplessness, much like the
experience of Mag-m.
when overworked or overwhelmed.
Mag-m. grants stability, determination, and a sense of righteousness,
fostering inner PEACE within the soul.
However, life’s challenges can disrupt this calm, awakening feelings of
intense ANGER. As the ANGER reaches its
climax, it gives way once more to a state of PEACE. By integrating these opposing forces, the
soul achieves
a HIGHER SPIRITUAL STATE - a
continuous SURVEILANCE that transcends both the turmoil of anger and the
stagnation of absolute calm. This
enduring state
of SURVEILANCE reflects the awakened spiritual essence of a Mag-m.
individual.
In this context, SURVEILLANCE represents a state of peaceful alertness,
where everything is calm and stable most of the time. It reflects a continuous state of awareness
or readiness, where the individual is watchful and vigilant. However, when a disturbance occurs, such as a
challenge or threat, the peaceful state is disrupted, and an intense anger or
forceful intervention emerges to address the situation.
This dual nature of SURVEILLANCE illustrates the dynamic balance between
calmness and the readiness to respond with intensity when needed. The peaceful state is maintained as long as
everything remains stable, but the potential for a powerful reaction is always
present when something significant happens.
