Musca domestica Anhang = Hausfliege/= Strafe Gottes

[Alta Vogel]

Musca domestica (Common Housefly) fits the leprosy miasm most evidently.

The essence of the leprosy miasm is described by Sankaran in “The System of Homoeopathy” (2000:458): “Lepers treated < than animals and often the objects of loathing. It is an almost hopeless situation.

Once afflicted, lepers were isolated form the rest of society, outcast, not only because of the infectious nature of the disease but also because of their repulsive appearance. This feeling of intense hopelessness and sense of

isolation indicated that the leprosy miasm will lie in between the tubercular and the syphilitic miasm. The miasm has a tubercular base, the feeling of oppression and the intense activity to get out of this oppressed state

being common to both of them. But there is also an intense feeling of isolation, with no hope of recovery as in syphilis”.

The main symptoms and feelings common to the leprosy miasm are given below in point form (Sankaran 2000:461) with rubrics from the literature supporting them:

- intense disgust for himself and others:

“Filth, trash, decomposing flesh, garbage and fecal matter are areas of special interest to the fly and so, too, with the provers. One prover thought he was being followed by garbage. There was a theme of corruption and

decay. "Perverted" images appeared in life and in dreams. Many provers experienced disgust with their surroundings. He was drawn to garbage and the brackish water in the subway, he constantly used language like "being surrounded by corruption and decay," he saw garbage "moving," in fact he said he believed the remedy was about garbage and that the remedy was degrading and decomposing” (American Homoeopath, 2001).

MIND: Dreams, disgusting (American Homoeopath, 2001).

- deep isolation, intensely forsaken, alone feeling:

“Another strong MIND symptom was a sensation of isolation, which is listed as a rubric in the Complete Repertory, but without remedies within the rubric. Isolation was a strong feeling within the group.

Many expressed this sensation, using the word "isolation". In addition, those same provers expressed feelings of self-pity. It is not clear if these two ideas would exist separately or if they fed on each other.

The feeling was strong enough for us to use the rubrics "Pities herself “and "Forsaken feeling" (or "Delusion forsaken")” (American Homoeopath, 2001).MIND:Isolation, sensation of (American Homoeopath, 2001).

MIND - FORSAKEN feeling - isolation; sensation of (Schroyens, 2001).

- feels dirty, disgusted, helpless and unfortunate:

“There was a lot of talk about putrefaction, rotting garbage, maggots, corruption, excrement, toilets, sewers, tunnels and dirty water” (American Homoeopath, 2001).

DREAMS - DIRT (Schroyens, 2001).

MIND - DELUSIONS - dirty - everything is (Schroyens, 2001).

“There was an unusual fastidiousness. Three provers said that they could not stop cleaning until everything was in its place, and this was for them a definitely new symptom” (American Homoeopath, 2001).

Prover 9 said "life is a hopeless dump" (American Homoeopath, 2001).

MIND - DESPAIR (Schroyens, 2001).

- very disgusting dreams that show the deep degree of the dirty feeling

“Mind: Dreams, excrements (many provers used the word "shit")” (American Homoeopath, 2001).

“Mind: Dreams, decomposition, decay, rotting, etc.” (recurring dreams) (American Homoeopath, 2001).

“Mind: Dreams, toilet, sewer, etc.” (American Homoeopath, 2001).

“Four of our provers had recurring sexual dreams; another dreamt of rape; three others had recurring dreams of gay men or homosexual issues. And there were dreams of committing unlawful acts or being the victim of

a crime, as well as threatening dreams. One prover also dreamt of imprisonment, while two dreamt of the police and two others dreamt of soldiers “(American Homoeopath, 2001).

- dreams of falling

Mind: Dreams, falling (American Homoeopath, 2001).

- pathology of gangrene and paralysis

GENERALS - PARALYSIS - sensation of (Schroyens, 2001). Quantitative keywords supporting the leprosy miasm are:isolation, hopeless, dirty and despair.

Das unterschätzte Tier Treuer als Bello oder Fiffi

Schon zu Urzeiten machte sie dem Menschen das Leben schwer: die Gemeine Stubenfliege. Dabei ist uns kaum ein Tier so

treu wie sie, ob wir wollen oder nicht.

Klatsch! Sssss … Seit Menschen in Höhlen leben und Feuer machen, begleitet sie uns: die Gemeine Stubenfliege (Musca domestica). Die einen empfinden sie als lästig, andere als absolut nervtötend. Fast niemand vermag es, ihr etwas Positives abzugewinnen. Liegt es daran, dass sie uns seit jeher vor Augen hält, was sie alles besser kann als wir? Sie ist reaktionsschneller, kann kopfüber an der Decke spazieren und macht sich keinen Gedanken über die E-Mails, die sie noch beantworten müsste.

Und da war doch noch etwas: Musca domestica kann fliegen, hat

gelegentlich sogar Sex dabei.

Der Zweiflügler (Diptera) hat die ganze Welt erobert: Ob Amerika, Europa, Asien oder Australien, wo Menschen sind, kann Musca domestica nicht weit sein, wie unter anderem diese

Flickr-Karte zeigt. Alfred Brehm schrieb in seinem Werk Brehms Thierleben von 1884: "Kein Thier – das kann wohl ohne Übertreibung behauptet werden – ist dem Menschen ohne sein Zuthun und ohne ihn selbst zu bewohnen, ein so treuer, in

der Regel recht lästiger, unter Umständen unausstehlicher Begleiter, als die Stubenfliege."

Die Gemeine Stubenfliege (Musca domestica) ist ein Insekt, das den Zweiflüglern (Diptera) zugeordnet wird. Sie ist eine von

fast 50.000 Fliegenarten weltweit. Das Insekt kann bis zu neun Millimeter lang werden und wiegt in etwa so viel wie eine Briefmarke, 14 Milligramm. Vier schwarze Längsstreifen durchziehen den Rumpf, an dem die Gliedmaßen anliegen.

Die Fliege hat 6 Beine und 1 Flügelpaar. Die hinteren Flügel sind im Laufe der Evolution zu Schwingkölbchen verkümmert,

die den Flug stabilisieren.

Menschen können mit Insekten eben nicht viel anfangen. Sie mögen es, wenn Tiere putzig oder tollpatschig sind, immer auf 4 Pfoten landen, das Stöckchen holen, Gras mümmeln, im

Hamsterrad laufen, hecheln, bellen, miauen, grunzen oder wiehern. Viele Menschen akzeptieren es sogar, wenn Tiere stinken!

Der Stubenfliege fehlen hingegen all diese Attribute, auf die Homo sapiens so anspringt. Weder duftet sie, noch hat sie süße Kulleraugen oder einen kuschelig weichen Pelz. Eine Fliege findet erst dann den Weg in unser Bewusstsein, wenn sie stört. Zuweilen kann sie dabei auch besonders hartnäckig sein, wenn sie immer und immer wieder auf derselben

Körperstelle landet oder ihren Rüssel permanent in unser Essen steckt. "Wir alle kennen ihre schlimmen Eigenschaften, die Zudringlichkeit, Naschhaftigkeit und die Sucht, alles und jedes zu besudeln", schrieb Brehm. Die Stubenfliege benimmt sich

wie eine Person, der gewisse soziale und empathische Kompetenzen fehlen, die permanent nervt. Ist sie dumm?

Keineswegs. Musca domestica mag zwar ein Gehirn fehlen, das ihr kognitive Höchtleistungen ermöglicht. Allerdings schafft sie

es mit ihrer behäbigen Art immer wieder, ihren Willen gegenüber dem ach so schlauen Menschen durchzusetzen. Nach dem Motto: Nerve ihn so lang, bis er nachgibt, und zehre dann in aller Seelenruhe von seinen Körperausdünstungen.

Und wie so oft in der Geschichte, weiß Homo sapiens sich nicht anders zu helfen als mit brutaler Gewalt. Er schlägt zu.

Doch ihrer schnellen Reaktion und den geschickten Flugmanövern hat sie es zu verdanken, dass er sie fast nie erwischt.

Die Stubenfliege springt zunächst senkrecht in die Höhe bevor sie mit 200 Flügelschlägen in der Sekunde davon saust.

Vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum die meisten Musca verachten. Fast immer unterschätzen wir dieses behäbig-treue Tier –

und das lässt die Fliege uns spüren, mit jedem verlorenen Schlag. Klatsch! Sssss …
