Saccharum Anhang
[werner werner stangl]s arbeitsblätter
Eine weitere, im Haushalt übliche Droge ist der Zucker. Die Abhängigkeit von Industriezucker wird bereits im Säuglingsalter durch gesüßte Ersatznahrung im Krankenhaus gefördert, in einem
Alter also, in dem der Geschmackssinn sich noch in seiner Entwicklung befindet und somit die Reizschwelle für das Süßempfinden in die Höhe geschraubt wird. Zucker ist in unserer heutigen Zivilisation sicherlich nicht mehr wegzudenken, dennoch ist der Zucker eines der Produkte, das mit beinahe allen Zivilisationskrankheiten direkt in Verbindung steht. So schwächt Zucker das Immunsystem und fördert Allergien, den VitaminB1-Mangel und mit dem Vitaminstoffmangel treten Symptome auf, wie Müdigkeit, Leistungsschwäche und depressive Stimmung.
Außerdem führt der Genuss von Zucker zu Hypoglykämie, dem Blutunterzucker, welcher oftmals auftritt, wenn neben dem Zucker eine nicht genügend ausgewogene Nahrung aufgenommen wird. Hypoglykämie führt zu ähnlichen Symptomen wie der VitaminB1-Mangel, welcher auch in direktem Zusammenhang mit Blutunterzucker steht. Jedoch führt in diesem Fall die Aufnahme von Zucker zu kurzzeitiger quirliger, überreizter Hyperaktivität. Hiernach jedoch tritt wiederum ein schlechtes Gedächtnis, Konzentrationsschwäche, emotionale Instabilität, Verhaltensstörung und Lernschwäche zutage. Somit kann man sagen, dass die Aufnahme von Industriezucker den körpereigenen Glukosehaushalt empfindlich stört und eine saubere Regulierung verhindert. Des Weiteren
ist mit (übermäßigem) Industriezuckerkonsum eine krankhafte Veränderung des ganzen Knochensystems verbunden. So stellt sich eine Kalkauslaugung der Knochen sowie eine Verlängerung der Röhrenknochen, die an das gesteigerte Größenwachstum der modernen Jugend erinnert, ein. Ausserdem steht Zucker in Verbindung mit einer Reihe von Lern- und Konzentrationsschwächen.
So fand u.a. auch der Kinderarzt Dr. Lendon Smith in Untersuchungen heraus, dass Kinder, die Zucker +/o. Weißmehl während der Schulpausen zu sich nahmen, Lernschwierigkeiten in der Schule aufwiesen. Dementsprechend wurde durch den Pädagogen K.-D.-Müller von der Universität Hannover festgestellt, dass Kinder mit gesunder und vollwertiger Ernährung bessere Noten aufweisen als Kinder, die sich "überwiegend von hellem Brot, kaum Frischobst und vielen Süßigkeiten" ernähren. Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung fand in Umfragen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen von 10-18 Jahren dem entgegen heraus, dass immerhin 57% glauben, dass Vollmilchschokolade Aufbaustoffe für Kinder hat, 36% Zucker das Wachstum fördert, 39%, Zucker verbrauchte Energie zurückbringt, und sogar 45% meinen, Zucker sei Nervennahrung sei. In anderen Umfragen ergab sich, dass derselbe Anteil (45%>Nervennahrung) der Mütter eben dieser Meinung ist. Die Werbeagenturen der Zucker und Süßwarenindustrie haben also ganze Arbeit geleistet.
Bart Hoebel zeigte in Untersuchungen an Ratten, dass Zucker auch aus der Perspektive der neuronalen Veränderungen ein Suchtmittel ist, denn steigender Konsum führt dazu, dass die Tiere immer mehr Zucker fressen müssen, bis sie genug davon haben, und sie zeigen auch Entzugserscheinungen (Ängstlichkeit, Zähneklappern) , wenn das Suchtmittel ausbleibt. Große Zuckermengen ziehen ähnlich wie Kokain, Morphin oder Nikotin im Gehirn neurochemische Veränderungen nach sich, indem die Zahl der Dopamin- und Opioid-Rezeptoren im Gehirn verändert wird. Auch scheint hoher Zuckerkonsum die Neigung zu anderen Drogen wie Alkohol zu erhöhen.
David Benton (Swansea Universität) wertete 160 Studien zur Zuckersucht aus und fand keinerlei Bestätigung. Die Hypothese, Zucker könne auch Menschen körperlich abhängig machen, entstammte allein Versuchen an Ratten, denen man zwölf Stunden lang kein Futter gegeben und anschließend Laborfutter sowie wahlweise eine Zuckerlösung in unbegrenzter Menge angeboten hatte, wobei die Tiere nach einem Monat Anzeichen einer Sucht zeigten. Keine der auf Grundlage des Tiermodells aufgestellten Hypothesen hinsichtlich einer Zuckersucht bestätigt sich für den Menschen, denn die damals in den Untersuchungen registrierte erhöhte Ausschüttung von Glückshormonen hat nicht direkt etwas mit dem Zucker zu tun, sondern vielmehr mit der Belohnung, die die Zuckergabe ausgelöst hatte. Dieses Suchtverhalten kann im Prinzip auf jede Form der Belohnung entstehen.
"Zucker als Nervennahrung – dass da etwas dran sein muss, zeigen ja schon die Schlangen vor den Süßigkeitenautomaten in Universitäts-Bibliotheken. Oder etwa nicht? Es ist eine Frage der
Dosis, wie Ernährungsforscher wissen. Zu viel Zucker und Fett schaden dem Gehirn, wie Wissenschaftler an einem Experiment mit Ratten zeigen. Wurden die Tierchen mit stark zucker- und fetthaltigem Futter gemästet, bauten sie geistig ab und wurden anfälliger für Hirnschäden. Wichtiger als Zusatzpräparate, Zucker oder ähnliches scheint Trinken für das Gehirn zu sein.
Ein bis zwei Liter am Tag sollen die Leistungsfähigkeit stärken" (Bareither 2009).
Paul J. Kenny und Paul M. Johnson berichten 2010 in „Nature Neuroscience“ von Tierversuchen, nach denen fettreiches Essen wie Junk Food ebenso süchtig macht wie Drogen, d.h., im Experiment mit kalorienreicher Nahrung gefütterte Ratten verloren zunehmend die Kontrolle über ihr Essverhalten. Offensichtlich reagiert das Belohnungssystem des Gehirns auf extrem kalorienreiches Essen auf die gleiche Weise wie auf Drogenkonsum. Dopamin wird vom Gehirn bekanntlich als Reaktion auf Reize wie Sex, Schlemmen und Drogengenuss ausgeschüttet. Der Dopamin-Rezeptor sprach in den Tierversuchen auch auf den Genuss von übermäßigem Junk Food an, indem er, um die Flut von Dopamin besser verarbeiten zu können, einen Gang nach dem anderen zurückschaltete. Der Rezeptor benötigte bei den Ratten also immer mehr vom Junk Food-Essen ausgelöstes Dopamin, um noch ein Wohlgefühl auszulösen.
Wenn ein Tier die Gehirnzentren für das Wohlbefinden mit dem schmackhaften Essen überreizt, passt sich das System also offensichtlich an und schraubt seine Aktivität zurück. Wie bei der "normalen" Drogensucht giert das Gehirn daher beständig nach weiterer Zufuhr von Junk Food, um nicht in einen Zustand negativen Befindens zu verfallen.
Der Mechanismus in den Rattengehirnen ist vermutlich vergleichbar mit dem, der bei der menschlichen Sucht nach Rauschmitteln auftritt: Der Konsum aktiviert das Belohnungssystem des Gehirns und sorgt für Wohlgefühl. Doch je mehr man konsumiert, desto mehr Nachschub verlangt das Gehirn, um das gleiche Glücksgefühl wie beim letzten Mal zu erzeugen. Die Entwicklung von Fettleibigkeit geht also mit einem immer größer werdenden Defizit in der neuronalen Belohnung einher.

Comparison
Saccharum and other remedies.
“the magic sugar”
When I prescribed Sacch.for the first time to a 7 year
old boy some years ago, I didn't realize that this prescription would be the
starting point for the discovery of an important remedy that has now taken a
first rank place in my practice. The picture of this first case was not clear
at all for me, but his great desire for and striking aggravation after eating
chocolate and sugar producing an enormous aggressiveness, decided me to
prescribe Sacch. and it had a marvelous effect.
Gradually the essence of Sacch. disclosed itself to me
and I was impressed by the impact that this remedy proved to have in the
treatment of my patients.
Case: a really beautiful one and helped me a lot to
understand the deeper mechanisms of the Sacch.patient.
Example 1: Ralf a 3 years old boy, had had eczema for
2 months on the lower abdomen, scrotum, penis, groins and inner side of the
thighs. He had gentle character, was cheerful and had much fantasy. The most
striking was his insatiable desire for sweets and chocolate. He had an aversion
to warm food and vegetables from his first 18 months on. Much salivation during
the day. He got breast feed during 6 weeks only because of an inflammation of
the mother's breast. He sucked a dummy during the night, he didn't suck his
fingers during the day. He was irritable after waking in the morning, until
aafter his breakfast. He had fear of the dark and a large fontanelle closing
slowly. He walked at 18 months. I gave him Sacch.off XMK. After 3e days he woke
up in the middle of the night, weeping sadly and wished to sleep with his
mother and asked her to hold him tightly in her arms. Every time she released
him he woke up asking her to hold him again. The next night the same scenario
took place. Then two weeks later his excessive desire for sweets was completely
gone. He had less salivation, didn't need his dummy any more and his
irritability before breakfast was gone as also his fear of the dark. He started
to eat vegetables and his eczema disappeared slowly in three months time.
Studying Sacch.as a new arrow on the homeopathic bow I
was impressed by the influence that sugar proves to have on our health.
Nowadays everybody is convinced of the nuisance of smoking, abuse of alcohol
and drugs, but sugar is hardly suspected as a toxic agent, except for causing
overweight.
Dr. Constantine Hering warned us already a century ago
that a large proportion of chronic diseases of women and children are developed
by using too much sugar (
W. Boericke: It has a solvent action on fibrin and
stimulates secretion by the intense osmotic changes induced, thus rinsing out
the wound with serum from within outward, favoring healing. Also leg ulcers and
myocardial degeneration were known to be caused by the use of sugar. It was
given as a nutrient and tonic in wasting disorders, anaemia, neurasthenia,
etc., increasing weight and power.
In my observation Sacch.is an important remedy for all
kinds of infections: sinusitis, chronic rhinitis and otitis, with foul,
purulent discharges. Probably the excessive use of sugar in our modern society
(about 60 kilograms a person a year in the
THE ESSENCE
After a continued and still deeper experience with
this remedy (2 years after the publications of this article in the Homeopathic
Links 3/95) I would define the essence of this remedy as: lack of self love, leading
to fear not to deserve his mother’s love and to fear to be abandoned by her. I
noticed that in children as well as in adults this fear to be abandoned
initially is not always expressed, but during the treatment with Sacch. this
layer dissolves only completely when this fear raises at the surface and
finally disappears.
The conviction not to be worthy of the love of his
parents (of the mother) is a deep rooted conviction and has to be resolved step
by step. The basis of this fear is caused by a lack of self-love. Therefore the
cure of this layer means also increase in self-love. Self-love is in some way
the basis of love, as Jesus said: ‘Love the others as you love yourself’. If
there is not sufficient self-love man becomes easily jealous and love becomes
in some way a deal: ‘If you love me I love you too, if you don’t give me love
any more, I don’t give you any more my love.’ Unconditional love is not
depending on this kind of conditions and to be a ‘free lover’ we have to become
free of greed, jealous and the anxiety not to be loved and not to deserve love.
This is only possible if we learn to love ourselves again.
That this fear of being abandoned is mostly connected
with the mother is because the child experiences his mother as the one who is
his source of love, warmth, affection and assures his need for food and
security. She caries and rocks him during the first nine months of his
terrestrial life and assures love, affection and food during his first steps in
the outer world.
Clarke: describes Sacch. children as fat children
resembling Calc. In my experience most Sacch. children are thin and very pale.
Emaciation is as much an expression of a disturbed mechanism in the
assimilation of carbohydrates as obesity.
Example 2: Stephan is a 3½ year old boy with chronic
ear problems from 10 months on with diminished hearing: every year from October
to April he has chronic colds with frequent epistaxis and recurrent otitis
media and almost a chronic ear discharge. Every winter he gets tubes in his ear
drums. He is perspiring a lot, especially in his neck at night and he has
profuse salivation day and night. His mouth is always open. He has an
aggressive behavior, is quick-tempered, spitting at other children and
sometimes throwing objects, kicking or biting other children. He has a very
changeable mood. He is afraid of nothing, only as a baby he was afraid of water
and screamed loudly. He only cuddles with his mother. He walked at 1½ year and
started to speak early. He is warm, wearing shorts in winter and walking
readily on bare feet. He has an enormous need for sweets, accepts only soft
food and very thirsty for cold drinks. He loves lemons and eggs. He has an
aversion to warm food and cooked vegetables, he loves raw vegetables. I gave
him first
I gave him Sacch. XMK 1x monthly from November 1993
on. This remedy provokes a dramatic change on every level. His ear problems
disappear completely and his left drum closes totally in 2 months. He salivates
much less and he closes up his mouth gradually. He is perspiring normally
again. His behavior changes greatly: he is less restless, his temper
stabilizes, and he is not aggressive any longer. He has still (5 months later)
an abnormal need for sweets and cuddling, so I continue Sacch. XMK once every
two months. Now (May 1995) he is still fine. He never had any ear problem all
that time and his behavior stayed normal, he is much less aggressive and his
anger is not out of control any more. At school he has much better results,
especially for language what was a problem before. He still loves sweets, but
there is no sickly desire as in the beginning.
Example 3: Mrs W.T. is a 55 yrs old married woman. She
is always hungry and has to eat frequently (every 1 – 2 hours) otherwise she
trembles and feels weak. She is nauseous if she takes sweets when hungry, even
a little bit of chocolate is too much. She has an aversion to sweets, from her
childhood on. She sucked her fingers until 7 years, until she got her first
brace. She is irritable after waking in the morning until she has taken her
breakfast. As a child she had sudden fits of blind anger, she was very
aggressive with hitting and kicking. Even now she can suddenly be very angry
and can hardly control herself. She still has homesickness and has great
difficulties when taking leave of persons and objects. Last year she cried when
she changed her old car for a new one. She is very willing to help others and
pays too little attention to herself.
The rest of the symptoms indicate Carcinosin without
any doubt and I hesitate whether to give first Carcinosin and then Saccharum,
but I start immediately with Sacch. XMK. And then the feeling of hunger changes
completely: she eats much less and doesn't feel the need to eat between meals
any more. She is feeling much better. She can take sweets now without being
nauseous.
HYPOGLYCEMIA
In my practice I found several indications for
hypoglycemia or problems related to a disturbed sugar metabolism as: ravenous
appetite soon after eating; constant appetite, never satisfied; sleepless >
by eating; tendency to eat frequently between meals; irresistible desire to
take sweets; strong impulse to eat on waking often because of a fainting
feeling or weakness; trembling when hungry; irritable when hungry especially on
waking, etc.
The great material cause of hypoglycemia is without
any doubt the exaggerated use of 'rapid' carbohydrates, namely of refined
sugar, in our modern nourishment. The other material causes are coffee, alcohol
and cigarettes. The caffeine in coffee, cola, tea, chocolate and cocoa
stimulates the adrenal glands to liberate adrenaline that stimulates in its
turn the release of sugar from the liver into the blood. About 70% of alcohol
abusers suffer from hypoglycemia. The sugar in the blood of smokers is also
increased after a cigarette. But there are also strong emotional causes
underneath such as lack of affection and inability to handle affection.
Hypoglycemia strongly influences our social behavior
and emotional well being. Dr. Michael Lesser stated that 67% of his psychiatric
patients suffered from hypoglycemia and several researches show that our mental
and social behavior becomes erratic, violent and antisocial under influence of
hypoglycemia. And that is what I saw in many of my patients with an unstable
sugar household (children): violent fits of anger with striking, kicking,
vandalism, aggressiveness and discontentedness.
Researchers discovered that the behavior of juvenile
delinquents is > if they are put on a sugar free diet. In a study they found
that 82% of a group of 106 suffered from hypoglycemia. When changing their
nutrition the majority ameliorated dramatically their social behavior.
(Spiritual nutrition and the rainbow diet; Dr. Gabriel Cousens)
THE DIFFERENT MECHANISMS OF COMPENSATION FOR LACK OF
ATTENTION, AFFECTION AND LOVE
To prescribe Sacch. with success it is important to be
aware of the different mechanisms of compensation that the human being uses
frequently. First of all we have to discern the two main reactions if someone
is frustrated in his need of love and affection. Either he tries to compensate
his lack by any means or he refuses any form of affection. That is the reason
why Sacch.has so many opposite symptoms, for example insatiable appetite with
the extreme situation of bulimia or no appetite at all and sometimes a refusal
to eat resulting in anorexia. Thirst for large quantities or no thirst at all.
Great need to cuddle or refusing every contact. Exaggerated sucking of fingers
or no sucking of fingers at all, putting everything in the mouth or never
putting anything in the mouth. Sensitive to pain or almost insensitive to pain.
No appetite in the morning or ravenous appetite on waking so that he has to eat
first. Even in the same person we see sometimes these kinds of contradictory
symptoms as: gentleness # very aggressive behavior. Cold feet, but sometimes so
hot at night sticking them out of bed.
The most frequent way to compensate a lack of
affection seems to be by far the use of sweets of any kind. There is a definite
link between love and sweets and that's why we say "sweet boy or
girl" "honey", "sweetheart", "sugar", etc.
In our 20th century sweets play an enormous role in compensating our deep and
even superficial frustrations. That's why we find in the Sacch.-patient many
symptoms related to food desires and aversions, appetite and eating. The most
frequent is naturally the exaggerated desire for any kind of sweets (chocolate,
licorice, pastries and biscuits). The increased desire for sweets or increased
appetite before menses and the desire for sweets after dinner is also strong in
Sacch. The appetite increasing during the day is typical, no appetite at all in
the morning after rising and increased appetite in the afternoon and especially
in the evening, with tendency to take candies, while there is not such a need
during the day. Another group is more or less subject to hypoglycemia with a
strong need to eat first on waking and a tendency to eat frequently between the
meals, not feeling well if the meal is postponed a little. They feel weak,
trembling, empty in the stomach and dizzy or get a headache if they cannot eat
at regular hours. They feel weak and irritable in the morning, have difficulty
to activate themselves and feel generally better after breakfast. Though the
insatiable appetite is more frequently met in Sacch. patients the lack of
appetite is also seen; then there is no feeling of hunger at all at any time
and there can be also a total absence of thirst, but more frequently the
Sacch.patient is very thirsty.
In children we see more clearly the compensation
mechanisms. The most important are: a great need for cuddling, the exaggerated
sucking of fingers and the biting of nails, (in adult life transformed in a
uncontrollable need to smoke), putting everything in the mouth and touching
everything. I often could verify the relation between the sucking of fingers
and the inveterate habit of smoking, many patients admitting that they changed
the first for the latter. I was amazed to find so many adults who were still
sucking their fingers. Many people smoke to reduce or to control their weight,
because they have experienced already that stopping smoking means eating more,
especially sweets.
Another mechanism frequently met is loquacity, most
patients being not aware of their secret demand for attention.
Children still have a lot of possibilities for asking
attention: doing pranks, asking again and again for something or doing things
that are forbidden, asking constantly for attention when the parents talk to
someone else and being jealous of their brother or sister. All means can be
used by the child that needs attention: being restless, shouting, fighting,
crying, having pain, being ill, etc.
In adults these mechanisms can persist or change to
more adult-like forms as the exaggerated need to possess objects or to have new
things with an everlasting feeling of dissatisfaction. Also the incapacity to
have a deep and lasting relation with someone, seeking again and again for a new
love affair, but never finding what he is really seeking for. He is like a
perforated bucket, you can put all the water you want in it, but the bucket
will empty itself constantly. There is a fundamental and profound frustration
from early life that cannot be satisfied at the level of actual life. Only a
deep transformation and cure can help such a person and homeopathy can be a
very effective tool for it.
THE RESTLESS AND BEHAVIORAL CHILD (ADHD)
The main rubric for this kind of problem children in
the repertory of Kent is 'restless children' and during my practice I became
more and more convinced that some important remedies were failing in this
rubric and that a number of this children couldn't be cured because for some
reason our homeopathic experience for this kind of problems was still
insufficient. I added Belladonna, much resembling Tub. and Stram. with the
typical anxiety at night, Carc. in oppressed children at school and acting out
at home and Cupr-met. but there was still a group of very restless and
behavioral children that didn't fit in any of these remedies. With Sacch. this
rubric has gained an important remedy. In my practice Sacch. became even the
most important remedy for those children and with this remedy I got the feeling
we have practically all the tools we need to cure this group of children. I
will describe one more short example of such a child.
Example 4: Karl is a nine year old boy and extremely
restless; he is constantly asking for attention, talks continuously; he is
jealous about his twin brother; he has fear of new situations, of unknown
things; he is very attached to objects and as a little child he touched
everything; he fears to miss something; his mother had diabetes during the
pregnancy; he is very obstinate. He got Sacch. XMK once every 4 weeks. After
each medication he touches everything and is extremely restless during a couple
of days and then his behavior changes completely. He no longer has the need to
compete with others and stops comparing himself with others; he is asking less
attention when someone else is in the limelight; he is much more quiet; he is
even satisfied to encourage his twin brother in his bicycle racing without any
jealousy; music calms him a lot. When he doesn't take his Sacch. for some
months the first signs of relapse are his restless hands and the sucking of his
fingers. Now he takes an XMK every six weeks and is fine.
A prolonged experience with this remedy in this kind
of children permits me to say actually that most of the ADHD-children
(Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders) are Saccharum-children. This means
that this kind of disorders mostly are a problem with the carbohydrate
metabolism, at least at the physical level, and that the use of sugar and
carbohydrates in general attributes largely to the < of this phenomenon.
Therefore we see also digestive problems in these children, often constipation
and flatulence and pain in the abdomen.
All this doesn’t mean that the whole problem can be
solved by a sugar free diet, because with this the frustration of the
underlying lack of love, attention and self-love becomes even worse, but in the
beginning dramatic ameliorations can often be observed. Therefore it is the
work of skillful homeopaths to treat this kind of disorders on a much deeper
level and to bring peace again in the whole family. A sugar free diet is then
most of time not necessary and the tremendous desire for sweets is
spontaneously becoming less and less.
OBESITY AND LOSING WEIGHT
Most obese people are spending their life time in
trying desperately to lose weight. The problem however is a profound affective
frustration underneath the exaggerated need to eat or to take sweets. The body
consciousness having a deep fear of lack of affection in the future, retains
and transforms every gram in fat, because that is the way the body assures his
reserves. When people with overweight are following a starvation diet they get
so frustrated after some weeks of heroic fasting, that after having lost 5 - 10
kilograms they start to compensate the frustrating diet and regain their
initial weight in some months or even quicker. Only the person with a very
strong will can succeed such an enterprise by assuming her frustrations and by
continuously taking care of her weight. With Sacch. we can help this patient
more efficiently and profoundly in treating the underlying problem, but in
about half the number of patients treated with Sacch. the exaggerated desire
for food (if present) is not cured and the source of this problem has to be
found on a still deeper level. The remedy for this deeper level is Lac maternum
(mother’s milk).
JEALOUSY AND FORSAKEN FEELING
One of the reasons to be jealous seems to be the
impossibility to share love or attention. E.g. this can be the case in an
eldest child who was the only child for some years and then had to share his
mother and father with a sibling who seems to attract all the attention of the
parents, which causes a profound doubt about his parents' love for him. This
feeling can be fixed and cause much trouble later in relationships when all the
attention the partner gives to other people causes the feeling that it is taken
away from him or her and that there is not enough. This feeling is based on the
fear to be abandoned that is the essence of Sacch. The child has a tremendous
fear to be separated from the mother and follows her constantly, even desires
to stay in physical contact with her and wants to be carried, hold her hand or
sit on her lap and suck his fingers, remembering and compensating the intimate
contact of the mothers breast. If he wakes up in the night, anxious, screaming
for his parents, he often can be consoled only when he can lie in the bed of
his parents making close physical contact with the mother, as several mothers told
me it was 'as if he or she wants to creep in me'. Of course this behavior
closely resembles Stram. School is a real tragedy for these children, some of
them only are at ease if they have asked again and again to their mother if she
will surely come back to pick him or her up. Often they refuse to play on the
street with other children or to go for purchases because they really feel
insecure when the mother is not in sight. Sacch.can liberate these children.
DD.:
Sacch. made from the fresh juice of the sugar-cane,
contains minerals (as trace elements) as Ca. Cu. P Mg Na K Fe S Zn Cr.
The resemblance that struck me the most was with
Calc.: sugar is interacting with the calcium
metabolism. The common symptoms are: obesity; tiredness; obstinacy; aversion to
warm food; desire for sweets, ice-cream and milk; complaints before menses:
sadness, irritability, pain in mammae, swelling of mammae; congestion of head;
cold feet becoming too warm in bed; perspiration of head, especially at night;
constipation.
Chamomilla can be difficult to differentiate because
of: the violence, the violent anger; the kicking and striking; the
irritability; the sensitiveness to pain; the extreme thirst; the desire to be
carried; the restlessness; the profuse sweating at night.
PHYSICAL COMPLAINTS
The most striking physical symptoms in Sacch. are
painful ovulation; brown discharge before the menses during some days; swelling
and painful breasts before the menses; nausea, flatus, distension of abdomen;
tingling in the extremities, especially in arms and fingers and sometimes also
in the lower extremities; panaritium; warts; sinusitis; flatulence;
constipation; hot feet; dryness of skin, dry and somewhat white spots in the
face or on arms or elsewhere, dryness (hair/nails/hands/feet/inner side of
nose/eyes/mouth/throat/vagina/stool).
