"Granite is always appropriate for the initial and peripheral
effects of radioactivity. These children have undergone a metamorphosis. Look
at Limestone and Marble, both calcium carbonate.
The intense heat and pressure when Granite is forming turns Limestone to
Marble. Although Marble is calcium, it is metamorphic calcium. When people are
close to a major radioactive disaster like Chernobyl, there is at first an
intense internal heat, and gradually their calcium cells begin to change. These
children are the metamorphic version of their original state, and as such, they
need Marble, which is the most similar. Look at the children, their pallor,
their translucence just like white marble.
Marble crumbles from the inside-the shine on the outside holds it
together. The same happens to people affected by high levels of radiation-they
disintegrate from the inside“. Intense whiteness or paleness (child), or been

The next section is devoted to Marble and also begins with a dream.
Eising relates that a man who has been appearing in her dreams for years tells
her that now the Granite proving is done she needs to go to the Inagh Valley.
He specifies the Inagh Valley in Connemara (not in Co. Clare). He showed her
examples of people who live there.
She writes: "They were wild and lawless. „They seemed like very
nice people so long as one did not mess with them“.
A dream from one of Eising's homeopathic students: Eising had taken her
somewhere in Connemara where she got crushed under a large, white rock which
thoroughly disturbed her. She asked Eising what to do, and (still in the dream)
Eising simply told her it was okay, that she was undergoing a metamorphosis.
From that dream Eising understood the rock had to be either marble or quartz,
those being the only white rocks in the area.

P was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid cancer during a routine medical
examination in November 2003. The report described a “Well circumscribed,
lobulated red mass, (1) lymph node”. In January 2004 the thyroid was removed. A
regimen of radioactive iodine followed. During a routine checkup, metastases
were found on his neck necessitating a second surgery in November 2006. Radiation
was not prescribed this time.
His condition was outside my realm of expertise. Upon my offer of a
referral, his voice rose, “Who will HELP ME? No! You WILL help me! My friend
said!”
He had passed the baton to me.
This case stands out because I owe its success solely to an Irish
colleague, Nuala Eising, who was invited in 1993 “to work with a group of 12
children from Gomel, Belarus, some 40 km. from Chernobyl. These children, aged
between 9 and 11 years, were brought to Ireland for a period of 6 months,
primarily for homoeopathic treatment.”
The provings of Nuala Eising are legendary. For those of you who may not
be familiar with her work, the source of her inspiration often comes in a
dream. In 1986 she was directed to prove Granite (lap-gr-m), followed by Marble
(lap-mar-c) in 1993, and Limestone (lap-c-b) a year later.
P was my first appointment of the day, arriving 20 minutes early. As he
approached, it struck me that something was amiss. His face had a strange milky
color and texture.
He removed his jacket, revealing a tight t-shirt and buff, muscular
physique. Yet, his skin appeared airless, dense, colorless. In my notes I used
the word BOILED milk.
He remained anxious throughout the consultation.
P: I take low doses of Synthroid. I’m on a low iodine diet. I won’t take
anything with iodine.
They always do a scan before recommending radioactive iodine treatment. After
the second surgery the scan showed nothing. Nothing to kill, they said. My
doctor tells
me that without radiation, cancer could return in 2 years. They don’t
want to give radiation because it can kill cancer and something else…
Would you prefer to have the radiation treatment?
P: I don’t mind. It doesn’t bother me too much. You take 2 pills and sit
at home in a special room. Watch TV. For four days you cannot come in contact
with other people. Even after four days you still need to be far away from
children. That’s not so important to me. You can talk on the phone… It’s a lot
of attention from other people

I don’t have any problems. I don’t feel anything. I get up, I work, I go

What happens when your blood pressure rises?
When I was 18 in college, I had terrible headaches. Like a spasm. I had
blurry vision before the headache. It was less frequent after Chernobyl. A book
called Radiation in Small Doses explains it. My co-worker had headaches for
years too and it was better for him afterward.
When it starts, I feel something in my hands and arms. I get cold. It
starts in the hands, moves up the arms, up the shoulders to the head. One time
it is one eye. The next time it is the other eye. Not both at the same time.
Sometimes it just disappears on its own. When I was young it was terrible. I
couldn’t even go to sleep. It’s a constant ache in one part of my head.
Did you throw up?
Maybe… NO NO NO I don’t lose control! After it goes, I sleep. In a
couple days I become normal.

I didn’t like school too much. Not many choices for a Jew in Soviet

I don’t even know what I dream. Sometimes I dream I am in Russia with a
friend.
MIND: DREAMS: Russia, of being
It was not my dream to be someone special and it never bothered me. I
knew where I had to be. I dream about my children not about myself. My bosses
like my job.
We have a good relationship. It wasn’t easy for 12 years. I don’t want
to show I’m so smart.
I don’t go to the meetings anymore. People thought I was always proving
how smart I am. The way I speak I may not be too polite. Others are not
educated like me.
If I see something wrong, I have to solve it. I can’t help it. I have to
give my opinion about how something should be done.
I get nervous in a meeting. My voice gets loud. I get excited. My blood
pressure goes higher. After a meeting I need an hour or two to relax. 5 or 6
years ago I yelled.
Now I keep it inside. I try not to say anything. We need professional
people. I know we can do it better. What I do is not what I want to do.

I would like to travel. I buy lottery tickets. I’m not going to win the
lottery but if I did, I would see the world. I’m always thinking, “What should
be done better?”
We need money for the children’s education. I don’t believe I will win
any money. I believe I have to earn the money. I want to see different places,
see different people.
I just want to see. People at work say “You are crazy, what can you
see?” I like to go to places to just know how people live.
You never lose control?
I may yell or scream at home, but when I decided not to smoke, I just
stopped. Whatever it is I can just stop it. Everywhere I have this control. Other
people say “I can’t do this or that.” Going to the gym is part of my job. I can
control my life. It’s just like the law for me. No exceptions. My first wife
used to say, “Even if I know you are right,
I will hate it even 3 years later.”
[His lips are very chapped. He looks dehydrated. I offer water but he
refuses.] I don’t drink so much water. I don’t have salt. I have fresh juices.
Organizations call and ask for a lot of money. I always say I will give
you 10 dollars and they never refuse. If God exists, he can see what I did and
what I didn’t do.
So I do the things I can do. I am …superstitious. But when I do those
things, I feel like a better person.

How do you describe normal life?
To do something without having to think. Some stars, like Britney
Spears, they are earning money, wasting money.
What I am doing is always under my control. I’m not a person who is
doing crazy things. If I buy I already have that money. If I don’t have it, I
don’t even dream about it. Maybe too much control. Maybe I am so limited by
what I want or what I have to do. Too much dreaming makes me uncomfortable.
This way I’m not too disappointed.

Maybe my first wife didn’t like it. She wanted more. I stopped her
dreams. I cannot do crazy things. I’m regular. I cannot be a famous cosmonaut.
As he leaves he adds:
I dream. But I know it will never happen. I’m so realistic about what
can happen. I know I will not win the lottery. I’m not sure if you didn’t earn
it, it is good for you.
Maybe winning is not good for you.
IMPRESSIONS
Early life as a Jewish man living in Ukraine deprived P of the freedom
to make his own life decisions. The prevailing social order clashed with his
personal aspirations.
Instead, he was obliged to conform to a narrow band of choices. “We knew
our place.” What I do is not what I want to do. It could be suggested that this
is a narcissistic injury dating from a young age.
Vacillating between a self-effacing attitude and its boastful opposite,
P. is ever in conflict with himself. On the one hand he is “not something
special”. On the other hand,
“I don’t want to show I’m so smart.” Of his coworkers, he says, “We need
professional people”.
His inner life is suppressed. “Maybe I am limited by what I want or what
I have to do.” I don’t have any problems.” “I don’t feel anything.” Other than
the cancer, he says
his life is good.
Sleeping dreams are unremembered. Waking dreams are a source of
disappointment. He cannot readily admit to having aspirations, especially those
involving pleasure, such
as travelling the world or spending money lavishly. “I stopped her
dreams (his first wife’s)”. “I have dreams for my children but not myself.”
The word NORMAL equals ORDERLY. In normal life everything is normal. Any
perceived deviation fills him with apprehension. Because his foundation is
shaky, he stays on the surface of everyday life. It is possibly ironic that his
job involves construction of the façade of a building and not the foundation or
frame. He cannot tolerate the slightest pressure. He shakes. He yells. His
blood pressure goes up.
When asked if he purges during the headaches he protests, “No, no, I
don’t lose self control.” “Whatever it is I can just stop it.” “Going to the
gym is part of my job.
I can control my life. It’s just like the law for me. No exceptions.”
His delivery is flat. He appears to have good vitality, but in spite of
a very buff exterior, he has few dynamic symptoms. His headaches, better since
the accident, reveal the most dynamic information. The symptom of coldness
moving in the upper limbs is significant.
Emotional coldness is illustrated by his positive reaction to
quarantining. He literally enjoys the doting attention of family and friends
from a distance. It was the only time
he smiled during the consultation.
There is a strong desire to be taken care of in a dependent, almost
childish way. All his needs were delivered to his room for four days. The way
he put his welfare into my hands, a complete stranger, was striking.
MIND: DEPENDENT (3)
MIND: DEPENDENT; desires to be, at another’s cost
(1)
In reality though, his grip on control is tenuous, easily undermined by
the pressure it creates. His voice rises. He trembles. “Now I keep it inside. I
try not to say anything.” “When I check and everything is okay my blood
pressure goes back to normal.”
ANALYSIS
While doing my work on this case I sensed that a very specific substance
would be required. I was looking for a constitutional remedy that tells a story
of suppression in conflict with a strong ego. The themes of Pressure,
Self-control, Order and a need for Support needed to be present in the remedy. Could
it also include the etiology of radiation exposure, an affinity for the thyroid
gland, and a description of his skin?
It seemed like a tall order.
I looked at lapis albus, Calc-sil. Calc-i. Iodatum, Bar-i. and Calc-f.
The breakthrough came when I focused entirely on the symptom of coldness
in the upper limbs, an accompaniment to an elevation of blood pressure. Next, I
added a Thyroid rubric. When I set the Analysis to SMALL REMEDIES there was
Lap-mar-c., the only remedy in all three rubrics.

A ReferenceWorks search for ‘Marble’ elicited Nuala Eising’s Provings of
Granite (Lapis Granitis Murvey), Marble (Lapis Marmorean Connemara), and
Limestone ( Lapis calcarea Burren). What I discovered took my breath away. This
was exactly what I was trying to describe while observing the client!
The Complete 4.5 Repertory was only helpful after I read the Provings. In
MacRepertory I performed a Remedy Extraction and found the rubrics that I have
included throughout the case.
MATERIA MEDICA of MARBLE Lapis Marmorean Connemara
Intense heat and pressure changes limestone, a sedimentary rock, into
marble, a metamorphic rock. Under these conditions, calcite recrystallizes as a
denser material.
The relationship between the two is also revealed in their profiles as
homeopathic remedies. A common theme is the need for support. Like Calc., Lap-mar-c.
has an
affinity for the thyroid, bones, and teeth. You might see early caries
or a failure to close fontanelles in a young patient needing Marble.
Nuala Eising’s dream in 1993 about the nature of Marble and its healing
properties was not her first dream communication. Here we have part of what she
was told. (ReferenceWorks, from The American Homeopath)
“… the heat and intensity and pressure changing limestone to marble-both
are calcium carbonates-is the exact same process when someone is exposed to
radiation.
Marble is metamorphic. What happens to someone exposed to radiation is
that they get an incredible amount of heat. The calcium in the body changes and
they
become metamorphic versions of what they were initially. When you get
the peripheral effect of radiation, Granite is the remedy… if somebody has been
left with
the radiation, and the changes have taken place, then they need the
Marble.”
“Look at white marble: it crumbles easily, it’s translucent. Look at the
children of Chernobyl. They are white and translucent, they crumble from the
inside. Radiation
affects you from the inside out. Look at marble, it is only the shine on
the surface that keeps it together. And it’s the same as the kids.”
“ On the psychological level, when somebody starts feeling that they
have nothing on the inside, they start to make themselves a showpiece and it’s
because of an
intense need to be taken care of.”
Nuala: So Marble feels that the only thing they can offer is to be
beautiful, graceful, charming and everybody will love them and take care of
them – that type of thing.
That’s what Marble is about and that is what happens after somebody is
severely affected by radiation. The first thought I had when I looked at white
marble is that
it’s completely bloodless. You look at granite and you can see there’s
passion in it-the blood is there, the fire is there, but it’s rock solid.
CHECK INS and FOLLOW UPS
December 2006 through 2010
A month after taking the remedy (December 2006) (started at 30c) P
reported that he went to see the doctor for his regular appointment. “I thought
I would be so
nervous, but I wasn’t. I’m more relaxed even at the gym. Not pushing
myself so hard. I feel rested.”
PX: Lap mar c monthly in increasing potencies
Six months later (JUNE 2007) we had our first follow-up. P reported that
the past spring was very unusual, because he didn’t get a cold. Even his doctor
remarked on it.
My questions about general symptoms like sleep and appetite made him
impatient, as did my explanation about treating the whole person. So far he saw
no connection
to the cancer.
Nevertheless, I learned that he is no longer running ‘hot’ at the
office. This was new information. Before the remedy he needed the AC running
constantly at work, to
the annoyance of his coworkers. I wasn’t certain but his skin looked
rosier, as if there was more blood in it. Although vague, he attempted to
describe a dream.
In late JULY 2007 he said he sometimes dreams about his life with
friends and coworkers in Russia. He says they are not new dreams; he had these
dreams before taking
the remedy. My assessment was that he is looking inside more.
Suppression is lifting.
In OCTOBER 2007 we sat down for a second follow up appointment. He was
well while his family and co-workers were sick with seasonal colds. He seemed
worried
about himself. “Unusual,” he
said. Rhinitis was not reported in the Intake. He told me about a dream he had
in which he tells a friend living in Russia that America is not
like heaven as this friend had described it many years ago.
Tension headaches are a memory. He has lots of energy, and feels more
relaxed. His relationship with his step daughter is improving. He expects the
appointment
with his neck surgeon will go okay. His skin looks softer, as if it is
breathing. Less chalky in color.
PX: We continue with the remedy.
He canceled our MAY 2008 appointment after the doctors told him they
found something. In JUNE 2008 he called. The scan was negative. He was giggling
as he
told me. His allergies or cold returned in MAY 2008 for the first time. In
JULY he realized he was having an allergic reaction to the contrast dye from
the June scan.
I became curious about Granite. Thinking of the rhinitis, in SEPTEMBER I
suggested he take it weekly. He sneezed off and on for 3 weeks. Maybe a Return
of
Old Symptoms? After 3 doses he developed a pain in the lower back and
abdomen and discontinued.
In the Granite Proving I found: He had a heavy feeling in his lower
abdomen and a dull ache in his lower back.
PX: Watch and Wait
In early JANUARY 2009 we recapped.
The pains had subsided but not completely. He had not taken a remedy for
2 months.
PX: Lap mar c 10 M.
By JUNE 2009 the back and abdominal pains had completely disappeared. He
said, “No sneezing. No more colds. Everything is normal.”
[Let this be a lesson! I had been warned many times about changing a
well acting remedy.]
In November 2010 we stopped the remedy at his suggestion. He was feeling
confident about a good prognosis. I asked him to follow up with me if there was
a return
of the cancer.
We stayed in touch through DECEMBER 2010 at which time there was no
recurrence. Since then I have no further news.
Many thanks to Nuala Eising for her dedication to healing. Many thanks
to those homeopaths, present and past, who by generously sharing their work,
help others to
be better practitioners. May we feel the pain of all sentient beings and
have the courage to try and help them.
