Palladium metallicum Kind
Anhang
[George Vithoulkas]
Child will do well at school if praised every day by the parents and
teachers, but will do very badly if he is criticized at all. If the parents are
not aware of what they must do, the child
enters a state of total inadequacy, becoming lazy and uninterested in
making any effort.
Children with a less than average intelligence believe that they are
very good and intelligent, even when the marks they get at school are mediocre
or worse. It is this state of false greatness
that prepares them to feel wounded at the least provocation.
Likes to swear words that have a rude sexual connotation. If they get
offended or irritated they can become violent in their reactions and
expressions and then they use offensive language.
Palladium, due to its internal conflict, (the need for affection, and
the pride that does not allow them to ask for it), eventually brings about a
convulsed state, which can produce convulsive
movements, first of the face, and eventually of the whole body.
It is a wonderful remedy for Gilles de la Tourrette’s syndrome. The
child appears practically normal while at school or in a social function, where
the opinion of others matters very much,
but when he goes back home the nervous system lets loose and the patient
goes into spasms. He twitches and makes all kinds of grimaces, emitting short
frightening sounds while the whole
organism seems to be in turmoil. Yet the next day at school they keep
perfect control of their nervous system and nobody can imagine what they are
suffering from; but there is this anomalous
energy that amasses and adds up constantly and which needs to be
detonated soon.
