ADHS
[Dr. Bhaskar Sarkar]
The child will be as bright and lively as the metal in its pure form.
The child will walk early, talk early, and be on the move early –interested, curious,
and more than likely just as difficult to contain! Will be quite precocious,
showing “a genuine interest in everything and everyone.”
Like the metal, the child will easily scatter and may be off in many
different directions without boundaries. VERMEULEN tells us the child may make
up stories, invent excuses, cross the line into habitual lying, and may have
‘sticky fingers’ taking what attracts him .The child will not observe
boundaries and needs to be taught and often reminded.
The child may be more adult like, perhaps appearing flirtatious,
engaging, very intense, and sensitive. This type of child will have very deep
feelings that will not show on the surface, and has an intrinsic caution and
reserve about expressing deeper feelings.
[Carola und Ravi Roy]
Bei Mercurius fällt besonders die nächtliche Verschlimmerung des gesamten Zustandes auf. Bei diesen Kranken ist die Lebensfreude in hohem Maße niedergedrückt.
Das kann begleitet sein von einer so großen Erregung, daß sie die Depression verdeckt. Bei einem Kind verbarg sich ein großer Kummer hinter seinen Aggressionen.
[E.A. Farrington]
Scrofulous children with unusually large heads with open fontanelles.
Slow in learning to walk, the teeth form imperfectly or slowly, limbs cold and
damp, and a damp, clammy feeling to the limbs.
You may distinguish it from Calcarea, Silicea and Sulphur by following
characteristics: The head is inclined to perspire, but the perspiration is
offensive and oily.
[Dr.
Subrata K. Banerjea]
Rudeness, of naughty children: Merc. (ref. R.Morrison);
[Angelika Szymczak]
Lebhaft, eigensinnig redet, schlecht gehorchen und mit Gleichaltrigen gerne kämpfen. Sie machen gerne Vorschriften. Sie können auch zurückhaltend, schüchtern und introvertiert sein.
Sie mögen keine Ungerechtigkeit. Wahrheit und Ehrlichkeit sind für sehr wichtig. Ist jemand nicht ehrlich und wahrhaftig, lehnen sie diese Person ab. Sie haben viel Energie und sind in
der Regel angstfrei. Sie machen tollkühne Dinge und verletzen sich häufig (sehr auffallend).
Sie bringen Unruhe in die Familie. Ihr Lieblingswort ist „total“. In der Schule beteiligen sie sich gut im Unterricht, schreiben aber trotzdem schlechte Noten. Sie provozieren Lehrer
und sind deshalb bei Schulkameraden gut angesehen. Aggressivität tritt plötzlich und unkontrolliert auf. Aggressivität richtet sich gegen Gegenstände, Menschen, die sie lieben und gegen
sich selbst. Sie beschützen die Schwachen. Sie mögen Gesellschaft und haben Angst vor dem Alleinsein. Sie lieben die Freiheit. Sie brauchen lange, das Gehen zu lernen.
Ihr Immunsystem ist schwach, bei den geringsten Temperaturveränderungen sind sie erkältet.
Mögliche Wirkungsbereiche: Entzündungen von Hals, Nase, Ohren, Augen, Hals, Mandeln, Bronchien und Blase. Drüsenschwellungen, Laryngitis, Mundgeruch, Entzündungen der
Mundschleimhaut, schwierige Zahnung mit Speichelfluss und übel riechendem Durchfall, Stottern, Akne, Abszess, Eiterung, Mundfäule, Aphthen, Masern, Mumps, Windpocken ...
Mercurius
Hier stehen zwei Mercurius-Personen auf einem Planeten.
Zwei, die gerne Ursache und Wirkung von einander trennen.
Der eine möchte den anderen an der Nase nehmen und ihm einen Weg zeigen, den er sich ausgedacht hat. Der andere aber hat seine eigenen Vorstellungen....
ehrlich und wahrhaftig, lehnen sie diese Person ab. Sie haben viel Energie und sind in der Regel angstfrei. Sie machen tollkühne Dinge und verletzen sich häufig (sehr auffallend).

Entzündungen von Hals, Nase, Ohren, Augen, Hals, Mandeln, Bronchien und Blase. Drüsenschwellungen, Laryngitis, Mundgeruch, Entzündungen der Mundschleimhaut, schwierige Zahnung

Ein Beispiel:
Während der konstitutionellen Behandlung eines Jungen mit Mercurius solubilis C200 (syphilitische familiäre Belastung) entstand eine Otitis media. Der Junge kam wegen auffälligem Verhalten in
der Schule in meine Behandlung. Er liebte es, über seine Mitschüler zu bestimmen. Er war auffallend ruhelos und störte laufend den Unterricht. Zu Hause war es mit ihm auch kaum auszuhalten.
Er hatte einen ausgeprägten Freiheitsdrang. Nur zu Hause zu sein oder das lange Sitzen in der Schule waren für ihn kaum auszuhalten.
Bereits 7 Tage nach einer einmaligen Gabe von 2 Globuli Mercurius C 200 (Gudjons) stellte sich eine Erkältung ein. Er klagte über Schmerzen im rechten Ohr und hatte Schnupfen ohne Absonderung.
Seine Gemütsverfassung war ablehnend und unwillig. Bei der Otoskopie zeigte sich eine eitrige Otitis media rechts. Ich verabreichte ihm Mercurius C 30 in Wasser nach Bedarf.
Bereits am nächsten Tag waren die Schmerzen verschwunden und die Heilung hatte eingesetzt. Auffallend war die deutlich positive Veränderung seines Wesens, die im Weiteren anhielt.
Die Repertorisation erfolgte mit MacRepertory 7.2.
Rubriken:
Schmerzen rechtes Ohr,
Eiterung Mittelohr,
Schnupfen ohne Absonderung,
unzufrieden, unwillig.
Das Mercur-Bild zeigt sich auch gut in folgendem Satz und Gedicht:
„Nehme mich an oder lasse es sein!“
Das Thema Wahrhaftigkeit und Ehrlichkeit hat seine guten und schlechten Seiten; es wirkt anziehend und abstoßend in Einem. Die Wahrheit schaut nach Innen, die Ehrlichkeit nach Außen.
Es zieht uns in den Bann, wie der Strudel das Sandkorn auf den Boden der Tatsachen.
‡ ADHS:
Mercurius vivus/solubilis D15 Trit w/Glob. DHU 1 pea-sized portion/5 glob.
1 – 2x daily, higher potencies also possible
Potentized mercury is helpful mainly
when:
• children are “inaccessible” to the
doctor,
• they get out of every rule,
"slipping through" everywhere,
• they have a tendency to purulent
inflammations,
• hyperactivity is pronounced.
One may have the impression that the
rhythmic system is becoming independent of the calming/guiding function of the
nerve-sense system (cf. Steiner's description in the Curative Eurythmy course.
When difficulty falling asleep is also an issue, this points to
Inaccessible, restless.
Rhythmic system seems to be independent
of the calming/guiding function of the nerve-sense system. When difficulty
falling asleep is also an issue.
