[Dr. Meeta Nihlani].
Case 1: Dr. Meeta
(The purpose of presenting these cases is to help you understand the “themes
of sarcodes”, so it has a little explanation about the selected remedy and the
follow up of the case. The cases are taken and analyzed by the sensation method
of Rajan Sankaran.)
A case of a 27 year old lady complained of Dysmenorrhea.
[D: = doctor, P: = patient, HG = Hand gesture, my comment is in
(parentheses).]
D: Whatever experience you have ‘right now’, please tell me, without
thinking whether it is it right or absurd.
P: I feel like flying, right now I am feeling that I am constantly
running.
D: Explain flying?
P: Does not feel like stopping anywhere.
D: How’s the feeling?
P: To feel alive energy is required.
D: Experience of being alive?
P: Energy; you cannot understand anything until it breaks into smaller
particles, and before the energy is released; something joins and makes it feel
that something’s going on. When I am alone I don’t feel that I exist. But when
someone’s around me I am able to sense things. Things change when someone’s
around, feels like something’s going on.
D: What changes within you?
P: When someone joins me, I feel like I have to do certain things for
them, I give away all my positivity in that process. When I do something for
someone, I give them everything I have with my 100% effort. At that time I
don’t really care about what is going away from here. (me). There is a kind of
emptiness on my side.
D: How is the emptiness on your side?
P: I give away everything but after that there is emptiness. After that
I cannot give anything to anyone. Though I can receive, I can receive the
negativity from them. They take away all the positive and good things and leave
the remaining stuff good or bad for me. Hence I receive their negativity and
all I had before is now gone.
D: Explain that emptiness.
P: Zero, like after eating food energy is produced then it is all
consumed, taken away, so it’s emptied for some time. Then again the raw
material goes inside, the same process takes place and it produces energy as
the end product. The emptiness there is so extreme that the thing which has to
maintain life is gone. But its duty is to give energy it has to do it.
D: What is the raw material which comes inside?
P: It’s a kind of energy conversion, like the food stuff we eat, say mango,
if we eat that, that mango does not gives the energy, the food stuff breaks
into smaller particles and then it produces energy.
D: What are those smaller particles?
P: It is the energy which gives and maintains life. If we see it in a
bigger picture, the energy inside it has a shape, size, quality and a
particular structure. That breaks into simpler and smaller forms. So it goes
simple from its complex form. And after that you cannot tell its shape, size,
quality and chemical formula. It is that small.
That is definitely the driving process of your life, but its structure,
color and size cannot be seen. It only runs your life.
D: How is it when it’s shapeless and size less?
P: It becomes something that is required for life.
D: What is required for life?
P: ENERGY is required. You’re alive, breathing, moving.That means that
energy is working within you. But you cannot say which energy is running your
life.
The energy comes from somewhere to your body, travels inside you and
keeps you alive.
And after that it goes away, the process continues in the same way, it
is the most essential thing in your life. If it stops you’re dead.
D: How is the pattern of that energy?
P: Pattern is the same, it comes from somewhere, then it breaks into
smaller pieces, and the cycle goes on. Like that of a clock. It has no pauses,
but if the clock stops showing time for some hours that does not mean that it’s
not working, the process is still going on inside, continuously. Even though
it’s not visible outside, it keeps on working continuously.
D: How is the experience of that process?
P: That energy is extremely LIVE, it is essential for life, and that
energy is extremely positive. That energy has no shape, size , color, formula,
but when it is there you can feel it and sense it from different kinds of
processes, that there is something behind them., and when you go deep inside
you find that energy there. But you cannot see or touch it you just know that
it’s there..
D: How is the experience of being there?
P: The experience is really very pleasant. Like one is standing in front
of God, there are just you and God, but between you two something happens which
you can just feel, human actually does not believes in God, but the thing which
comes from there. When you experience that yourself then you’ll be able to
understand actually how it is, the interaction between two people is because of
that special thing.
D: Experience of that special thing.
P: Extremely positive and LIVE, it’s so live; I cannot explain it, the
person who can receive that energy, can only understand it. It can’t be
explained and showed, it can just be felt.
The experience is very pleasant. It is like an emotional interaction,
between two individuals, full of love, which is so pure; some one can only
understand it, if the love between two people is so pure. If you carry that
purelove within you, then you’ll be able to understand it. The love that comes
from that person has no shape and structure; there is a kind of vibration in
that love between two persons.
D: Experience of those vibrations.
P: Very good, like the vibrations you get when you hear a sound like OM,
very pure, divine, and peaceful.
D: Experience of that peace.
P: If someone achieves that peace then there is no negativity left inside
him, it is so pure that no negativity can touch it. That peace cannot be
explained, it is immaterial.
It’s like when we breathe and air goes inside, there is something which
is essential for life, and you are receiving it within you. But you cannot tell
that this is that particular air which is going inside you, it’s invisible.
Several things are mixed in it you cannot tell what exactly you are
taking inside.
D: Explain that purity.
P: In which all the things are mixed up, it has no structure.
D: How is its smell and color?
P: It has no smell, but color is like if something adds to it, then that
thing can be seen, but if it adds to something it could not be identified.
IT CAN BE CHANGED FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER, THE PROCESS OF CHANGE IS
FELT, BUT YOU CANT FIND ANYTHING INSIDE IT.
Slight HEAT is also felt, when that process is going on, and the energy
is released. That heat is continuously emitted in that process.
D: Experience of that heat?
P: That heat is not harmful, it feels good instead, there is a warmth in
that, its pleasant like love, its constant and continuous, that heat increases
with the increase in energy, and reduces when the process slows down, MAN DIES
IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT HEAT.
D: How is the experience of death?
P: I don’t know, its function is to give energy how can it die. The
process is necessary for life, it’s the continuity and base of the life, and it
cannot stop.
It is structure less and scattered all over, its present in everything,
you cannot count it; it is everywhere in the world, and in all possible
directions.
It looks like it has shape, but it is shapeless, it has no boundaries,
no beginning and no end, but if something comes in its contact, it can be felt,
it is so pleasant.
D: How is the experience of that?
P: Positive, the person in contact of it feels very good, because it is
all that he needs for his life, he will receive it and release all his
negativity.
But that thing would not become negative because of that.
It gives life force, which is essential for human life.
D: What is that life force?
P: ENERGY.
Analysis of the case
Human life, process, function -
ENERGY is required. You’re
alive, breathing, moving. That means that energy is working within you.
Like after eating food energy is
produced then it is all consumed, taken away, so it’s emptied for some time.
Then again the raw material goes inside, the same process
takes place and it
produces energy as the end product.
It is the energy which gives
and maintains life.
And after that it goes away,
the process continues in the same way, it is the most essential thing in your
life. If it stops you’re dead.
That is definitely the driving
process of your life, but its structure, color and size cannot be seen. It only
runs your life.
It becomes something that is
required for life.
It keeps on working
continuously.
It is essential for life.
It’s like when we breathe and
air goes inside, there is something which is essential for life, and you are
receiving it within you.
Its function is to give
energy.
The process is necessary for
life, it’s the continuity and base of the life, and it cannot stop.
It gives life force, which is
essential for human life.
So these all points are expressing the themes of the process which is
present in our body, after some functionality in our body the process goes on
and that gives the life. So ultimately every phenomenon occurs in the body, so
we can think of any SARCODE remedy.
Now we have to understand the process exactly and their specific
physiological pattern and its functionality, that will give us clues to the
functionality of any particular Sarcode remedy.
Process
You cannot understand anything
until it breaks into smaller particles, and before the energy is released.
Energy; you cannot understand
anything until it breaks into smaller particles, and before the energy is
released; something joins and makes it feel that something’s going
on.
Like after eating food energy
is produced then it is all consumed, taken away, so it’s emptied for some time.
Then again the raw material goes inside, the same process
takes place and it
produces energy as the end product.
It’s a kind of energy
conversion. Like the food stuff we eat, the food stuff breaks into smaller
particles and then it produces energy.
Breaks into simpler and
smaller forms, so it goes simple from its complex form. And after that you
cannot tell its shape, size, quality and chemical formula. It is that
small.
The energy comes from somewhere
to your body, travels inside you and keeps you alive. And after that it goes
away, the process continues in the same way, it is the most
essential thing in your
life. If it stops you’re dead.
IT CAN BE CHANGED FROM ONE
FORM TO ANOTHER, THE PROCESS OF CHANGE IS FELT, BUT YOU CANT FIND ANYTHING
INSIDE IT.
Process is going on, and the
energy is released. That heat is continuously emitted in that process.
That heat is not harmful, it
feels good instead, there is warmth in that, it’s pleasant like love, it’s
constant and continuous, that heat increases with the increase in energy,
and reduces when the
process slows down, MAN DIES IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT HEAT.
So these points above give us the idea of the process, we take the food,
then it is converted into small particles and then smaller and finally it emits
the heat and gives the energy that will govern the life. Now we have to find
out the exact remedy from the Sarcode kingdom in which we have this process.
Functions of the ENERGY
Constantly running
To feel alive energy is
required.
It is the energy which gives
and maintains life.
The energy inside it has a
shape, size, quality and a particular structure.
That is definitely the driving
process of your life, but its structure, color and size cannot be seen. It only
runs your life.
ENERGY is required. You’re
alive, breathing, moving. That means that energy is working within you.
It keeps on working
continuously.
That energy has no shape,
size, color, formula, but when it is there you can feel it and sense it from
different kinds of processes, that there is something behind them.
We have to look for the ENERGY (substance or process) in our body which
is created by food that we eat and then converted into heat and energy, which
has certain qualities like- it makes us alive, it’s constantly running, which
gives us life and maintains the life force and it is present everywhere.
Now we have to enlighten our homeopathic ‘Energy’ (Knowledge) and try to
find out the exact physiological process. The first time I thought about this
case I was reminded of my school days, where we had to study different ‘cycles’
like Kreb’s cycle, Glycogen cycle, ADP-ATP cycle etc. When we look into the
ADP-ATP cycle, then it has the same kind of functionality (something converted
from big particles into small particles) that we see in our case, so now it is
obvious for us that we think about ATP (Adenosine tri-phosphate) for this case.
Some points that misguide us to think of Imponderabilia
Energy
Pure
The love that comes from that person has no shape and structure.
Vibration
Divine
Immaterial
Invisible
No structure
Color is like if something
adds to it, then that thing can be seen, but if it adds to something it could
not be identified.
Shapeless
No boundaries
No beginning and no
end
If something comes
in its contact, it can be felt, it is so pleasant.
Positive
Negativity
All the points above are nothing but analogues of the “ENERGY”. A
further explanation of the energy will clear our doubt about the kingdom. Here
the energy described is not something from the universe, but from the body. It
is created from the food and then converted into heat and energy and then that
energy governs life.
Prescription: Adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) C 1000, one dose
Conclusion:
I gave her ATP 1M 2 doses in the follow up span of 10 months. She is
much better. No pain and no dysmenorrhea, her energy level is better. No dose
since 3 months.
Case 2: Dr. Meeta
(A case of Polycystic Ovaries, Married since 1 year, but had no child
yet. She was in acute distress at the General level.)
D: What are you experiencing right now?
P: A pressure. A compression. (HG- compressing both hands).I’m burdened with some weight. A heavy
load. The heart is compressed! It is expanded it has been flattened. (She Takes
deep breath in between).As if heart wants to pump but is not able to (HG). Its
function is stopped! The heart does not have the capacity to pump. It can feel
the pressure. It does not have any energy. As if the heart is below. There are
layers of weight and the heart is not able to pump.
D: What is the experience?
P: Burdened. Compressed. My body feels full. (HG). It has stopped. No
movement. Stable at a point. I am not able to breathe. A kind of
congestion.(HG)Packed. (HG).
It does not have any space. High density. As if you drawn something and
you have packed it with many lines. Khach khach khach… (HG- She draws a
rectangular and draws many horizontal and vertical lines in the air)
D: Explain this. (I made the same HG)
P: Dense. Like condensed milk. It becomes heavy. It will become
congested. It will want to release and become light. A big stone is broken in
to small stones. It will become lighter. A heavy stone settles down in the
bottom. (HG- Pressing her hands towards ground)It is heavy and it is not able
to function.
D: Explain this. (I made the same HG)
P: like a boat. If you put some heavy stones, it will drown. It will not
be able to function. It will be depressed. That one is trying to function and
giving life and soul to it.
But is not able to function. Like I work hard professionally, but I
don’t get results. I feel the same depression. I want to leave everything.
Uselessness. Aimlessness. I am not able to anything. But I have such a desire
that I try again. I don’t want to lose. I feel like this is the end. Heaviness.
Like a stone. And many layers piled on. Like if we go to coal mines. There we
have something in the core of the earth. As we go down towards the core, one
feels the pressure and compression.
D: Explain that pressure and compression.
P: (HG-Both hands coming together). Congested and tight. We have a
banana tree, it was overloaded with bananas. I was experiencing the same.
(Till this stage we are observing the pressure, congestion, restriction
running throughout the case. We don’t know what pressure means for her but it
is obvious for her. Let’s try to expose its opposite that way we may get some
more info!)
D: Opposite?
P: When I feel energetic, I can work well.I am able to manage everything
properly. I can fulfill the responsibilities. A kind of satisfaction. I could
do so many things. Nothing should remain. I should be able to do. You are doing
things which you are born for. I am this way only. I feel my life is worth.
Otherwise it is useless. I feel like dying. I don’t have any energy.
D: What was the best time of your life.
P: I felt energetic. I use to top my school and my town. I did not feel
any weakness. One could study till you desire. If you get a heavy project, you
can work consistently, work till you get results! Consistently.
(It’s totally out of blue… Pressure’s opposite is energetic! Working/
functioning consistently!)
D: Explain Consistently.
P: One which does not stop.
D: Explain something in nature which does not stop.
P: Like air, Sun, light, water. They work consistently. They have
energy. If they stop everything will come to an end. Like air is flowing, it is
flowing consistently. How can others breathe without it? Sun has to work. It is
giving light. For it everything is one and it has to give.
D: Explain more.
P: It is giving energy and the world is working.Everything is alive due
to its energy. All trees, leaves all forms of life. It has power
D: Explain Power.
P: It has the capacity. Energy to do things. It has so much energy that
it can give life to the world.
D: Explain the word “Function”
P: Doing an action. It is work of water to give life, air to give
breath, sun to give light.
D: Explain action.
P: It is important. Even if you look at a cell, it has to function. If
you switch on a fan, it functions. But only if it gets power. Every cell has a
mitochondria, ATP is made and energy is released and the cell functions. I
don’t know that much of chemistry and physics. Like this current is coming and
this is functioning.
(This reminds me of the functioning quality of cell/ mitochondria. So
the case becomes clear, but still we don’t know the meaning or role of
congestion, load and pressure in the functioning of the cell.)
D: In general what is functioning?
P: It is living. Living is functioning.
D: What is your opinion about Living?
P: If you are not able to do anything for others, your life has no
meaning. Like a tree, it gives fruits to others. It does not eat its own
fruits. It does not think who will eat. Whoever needs it, it will have it. It
will get whatever it requires. Basic needs air, water, sun. Most important is
the Sun energy. It gives life. It is the basic energy. First trees, then other
forms.
D: Basic?
P: It is the source. It is the origin. (HG- something coming out from
fingers).It originates and spreads.It is starting from there and spreading. It
is not restricted. You will spread even if you don’t want to. Like a hole. Like
a light spreads through a hole. . Spreading. Gesture is its quality. It has to
spread. Like a light. This is covering the whole room.
D: Explain more.
P: (She Paused and Closes her eyes.)When something spreads it is not
seen. Like through a hole it can be seen. Later it cannot be seen. I can feel
as if put a light from a small place, (What I am talking about!! She smiles).Like
water is flowing from a restricted place, there it will feel condensed.Because
its quality is to flow and you are restricting its flow.It should spread, it
can irrigate only in that particular area. If allowed to flow it can help in
irrigation in a broader area.
D: Explain irrigation.
P: You will give life and crops will grow. If we put seeds and it will
not get water and sunlight, it will not transform from a seed to plant.
D: Explain that Transformation.
P This is life. This is becoming a sprout. A seed to a plant. (HG).
(Oh, now the congestion has become clear as an opposite of functioning
quality of mitochondria which is ‘spreading’.)
D: What if this transformation does not happen?
P: It dies. Death
D: Explain death
P There is no energy. Only body remains. Dead body, IT is only there, no
Function !
D: Your experience in Dysmenrrhoea
P: Congestion and a lot of blood is there. Pain in back. Weakness. I
feel like sleeping. I feel like blood should flow.
D: Your desires in food?
P: I like potatoes and sago. More of starch. I feel like I am getting
energy. I have a tendency to suffer from hypoglycemia. I want to eat. Otherwise
I will faint. My B.P will become low. I can’t eat much at a time.
D: I don’t like boundaries. Explain this.
P: I like meeting everybody. I can’t stay in a restricted area. I don’t
like being differentiated by castes and creed. A doctor can never stop treating
because of the cast! A teacher cannot differentiate by cast. It has to give unconditionally,
without any discrimination. Everything is same for you. You are a teacher, you
do your work. Whatever work you are destined to, you work accordingly. If you
are a doctor, you should take care of the students. I don’t like a division. A
separation. Not looking with oneness!
Analysis:
Compressed/Pressed/ Loaded/ Restricted
Pressure
Compression
I’m burdened with some weight
Heavy load
My body feels full
No movement
Packed
It does not have any space
High density
Dense, Like condensed milk
Like a boat, if you put some
heavy stones, it will drown
Many layers piled on.
Congested and tight
Opposite of congested/pressured/restricted
Expanded
It will want to release and
become light
A big stone is broken in to
small stones and then it will become lighter
In the initial part of the case we have expressions which are obvious in
the case but we don’t know their meaning. But as the case is exposed it becomes
clearer. Congestion restricts the ‘functioning’. So let’s see what is
‘functioning’ in the case…
Work/ Function/ Energy
Energetic/ weakness
As if heart wants to pump but
is not able to, its function is stopped; it does not have any energy
There are layers of weight and
the heart is not able to pump, it is heavy and it is not able to function.
It will not be able to
function. It will be depressed.
That one is trying to function
and giving life and soul to it, but is not able to function.
When I feel energetic, I can
work well. I could do so many things. Nothing should remain.
You are doing things which you
are born for.
If you get a heavy project,
you can work consistently, work till you get results!
Consistently- One which does
not stop
If they stop everything will
come to an end.
Sun has to work.
It is giving energy and the
world is working.
Everything is alive due to its
energy.
It has so much energy that it
can give life to the world.
Function- Doing an action. It
is work of water to give life, air to give breath, sun to give light.
Even if you look at a cell, it
has to function.
Every cell has mitochondria,
ATP is made and energy is released and the cell functions.
It is living. Living is
functioning.
Now it is clear that ‘function’ is related to physiological function of
the body or cell, so the case belongs to “Sarcodes”. So our next target to find
out is the pattern or quality of function. You have to work consistently and
for that you need energy and the result of ‘functioning’ is getting ‘life’, so
this is the quality of ‘cellular function’. And she beautifully correlates with
function of the cell and mitochondria. So the case becomes clear…
Other qualities about the function of mitochondria:
Spreading/ flowing and opposite restriction/ congestion
It originates and spreads.
It is starting from there and
spreading. It is not restricted.
You will spread even if you
don’t want to, like a light spreads through a hole. Spreading is its quality.
It has to spread. Like a
light.
When something spreads it is
not seen
Like water is flowing from a
restricted place, there it will feel condensed. Because its quality is to flow
and you are restricting its flow.
It should spread, it can irrigate
only in that particular area. If allowed to flow it can help in irrigation in a
broader area.
Prescription: Mitochondria C 1000, one dose
Conclusion:
I gave her Mitochondria C 1000, 7 doses whenever she required in the
follow up span of one and half years. Now she is much better. She is now a lot
more stable mentally and her energy level is much improved. She delivered a
beautiful and healthy baby. No doses required since 5 months.
Note:
There is one question in my mind. What is the difference between ATP and
mitochondria as a remedy? One basic difference and that is in their pattern of
‘functioning’. ATP is the bio-chemical compound from the process of the ATP
cycle, while mitochondria is the structure and the very basic ‘functioning
unit’ of the cell. So this basic difference between these remedies we can
clearly see in the cases. The ATP case has total emphasis on the ‘process’
while the mitochondria case has emphasis on the ‘functioning’.

Sensational sarcodes
This homeopathic information and material taught at a Bristol
Homeopathic Hospital lecture is derived from the insights of the medical
homeopaths in the Bristol Homeopathic Hospital Sensation group, who meet up to
explore the latest discoveries and share their clinical experiences of
Sensation prescribing.
Bristol Homeopathic Hospital in UK led a dream proving of testosterone
three years ago and did a dream proving of progesterone this year, as part of
the academic course. The substance of the proving was unknown to the provers,
yet the provings of these two hormones had striking themes in common.
The provings were led by the homeopathic hospital’s academic team,
Elizabeth Thompson, Julie Geraghty, Helen Beaumont, and Geoff Johnson, a
veterinarian and sensation homeopath. These clinicians and lecturers follow
sensation homeopathy and Jan Scholten’s element theory.
Corresponding with their colleagues around the world, they exchanged
discoveries with the Indian homeopath Ghanshyam Kalathia, whose research is
shared on his facebook page Sarcodes in Homeopathy, and his colleague Meeta
Anil Nihlani. This sharing of information has led to developing an
understanding of the sarcodes as a distinct kingdom of sensation homeopathy,
alongside the animal, mineral, plant, and lesser known kingdoms of fungi,
nosodes, bacteria/monera, and imponderables.
Intercurrent Organ Support Remedies
Sarcodes have generally been used at Level 1 + Level 2 as intercurrrent
remedies for organ support, such as Thyroidinium to support the thyroid and Folliculinum
to support the female reproductive system.
[Julian]
a well-established formula for
prescribing sarcodes for endocrine problems at specific potencies: 3C or 5C to
encourage functioning of a gland; 7C to modulate / regulate a gland function;
9C to suppress/inhibit gland functioning.
Deeper level of understanding
This is clinically sound practice, but recognizing common themes, the
homeopathic hospital’s clinical team was interested in developing an
understanding of the Sarcode remedies at a deeper level.
Sensation Language of the Kingdoms:
Sarcodes are not yet ‘on the map’ of kingdoms.
We recognise the language of an animal / plant / mineral / nosode /
imponderable case.
Plant remedies: are affected by things in the environment, they have a
sensation and a reaction.
Mineral remedies: need structure and a foundation: their structure feels
incomplete, there is a lack of capacity or capability to build aspects of their
life. Either they fear they are losing their structure
and stability, or feel they are missing something they need to feel
complete.
Animal kingdom: their issue is survival, competition for resources for
survival, me versus you.
Imponderables: cases talk about energy/share some themes at Sensation
level.
Nosodes: Sensation language is illness/germs; health is an issue if
there is illness.
What language does someone use, when they are expressing a Sarcode at
Sensation level, when a Sarcode is the deepest acting remedy for them?
A Sarcode case may be initially confused with a mineral case. Mineral
cases talk about capacity and building. Imponderable cases talk about energy.
Sarcode cases talk about the functioning or energy in the body, and they
generalise this process. Sarcode cases describe how they must do things in an
orderly way to ensure things run perfectly and function well; or they may feel
they are not functioning properly.
Healthy Functioning
Sarcode remedies are derived from healthy functioning tissue and
secretions, so a sarcode remedy has the healing potential of healthy tissue. A
healthy body maintains a healthy balance when the endocrine system ensures
everything functions perfectly. Each part of the body has a specific function,
each gland or enzyme has a specific task to perform. This
must be done perfectly, to maintain health.
When we see the world in terms of functioning and describe it as if one
part of our physiological functioning is our whole consciousness, this is when
we may need a sarcode remedy. “I must function efficiently” (in case taking
they describe this function as if it is required for a physiological process).
We can now begin to recognise the themes of the Sarcodes as a kingdom.
Control and perfect function
A hormone or neurotransmitter has a specific task and does it within
carefully controlled limits/parameters to function properly and maintain balance.
In a sarcode state, our role is to perform our task perfectly. There is a
controller in charge (the pituitary); we must stay within set boundaries, we
must await instructions and act at the right time. A secretion is contained or
released by a gland, for immediate response, or flows and circulates around the
body in a carefully regulated controlled mechanism that functions perfectly.
Sarcode Themes and Words:
All the sarcodes share some themes at Sensation level. The following
were found to be common themes of the hormone provings and cases at Bristol
Homeopathic Hospital in UK. (Note that Sankaran and Indian doctors working with
the Bombay sensation method have a different schema; see below.)
TASK / ROLE / FUNCTION: you have a specific
task to perform.
PERFECTIONISM, FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY: must do
your job perfectly in order to ensure that everything functions properly at
work or at home and in the family.
FAILURE TO FUNCTION: not doing this function
perfectly is failure. Failure leads to guilt.
CONTROL, CONTROLLED: controlled, regulated,
waiting command, acting on orders (processes are governed by pituitary or
chemicals that stimulate release).
SYSTEM, MECHANISM: fragile framework, their
specific task is part of a whole system.
Hormones released from glands have additional Sensation themes:
CONTAINED / RELEASED: (a hormone is retained in
the gland until it is released.)
TRAPPED: some Sarcode cases feel 'trapped’
which reminds us of a bird remedy. The opposite of trapped is soaring or flying
for bird cases, but the opposite of trapped or stagnant in a sarcode case is
“flowing”. When a plant case describes feeling ‘trapped’, there is a sensation
relating to that plant kingdom, and its opposite sensation, eg bound and
released.
BLOCKED: DD these cases can sound like
‘crucifereae' sensation of blocked.
COMFORT ZONE: stay in your comfort zone (we
hear this in the testosterone case).
Some cases can sound like a 'mollusc' theme. Contained and comfort zone
are expressions patients needing needing a mollusk remedy use. Stasis and
stagnant versus flow is a sarcode theme.
BOUNDARIES, LIMITS: staying within boundaries,
going beyond boundaries, overflowing, bursting the banks.
FLOW: river, flowing, overflow, mix up, moving
/ not moving, running.
CYCLES / CIRCLES: circulating, circles, cycles,
cyclically, biofeedback loops. Hand gestures showing cycles going round and
round in circles are themes of sarcode cases.
BALANCE: maintaining balance, functioning.
ADDICT / fix (eg adrenaline case, oxytocin
case)
CONNECTION: link (bonding is central issue to
oxytocin. Link is also a theme in the
cortisone case). A hormone has to link to its receptor to initiate its
function.
Rajan Sankaran and Ghanshyam Kalathia put forward the following as
sarcode language:

Sarcode Remedies and Physiological Processes
Carcinosin has to be in control as a compensation for everything going into
chaos (a nosode is made from sick tissue – chaos means illness, death ensues
from chaos).
A sarcode is in perfect control to start with, as it is from a healthy
organism. It brings everything into balance for proper functioning.
Sarcode Source Substances
A Sarcode remedy could be a tissue or secretion from an organ
(testes/ovary/heart). Any physiological processes can be a sarcode remedy. A
sarcode remedy is related to the functions of the body and
can be derived from any glands, secretions, hormones, neurotransmitters,
enzymes, cellular molecules such as DNA, RNA, energy releasing compounds from
cellular processes in all cells of the Krebs cycle like ADP-ATP. 88 hormones have been discovered; 15 of these
have been proved as remedies so far.
At this point we glimpse the sheer scope of what the sarcodes are
introducing to homeopathy.
Adrenalin is a neurotransmitter and a hormone, Cholesterinum,
Cortisonum, Corticotropinum, Dopamine are in many pathways; Folliculinum,
Histaminum, Insulinum, Oophorinum, Orchitinum, Pancreatinum, Parathyroidinum,
Pepsinum, Pituitaria glandula anterior, Pituitaria glandula posterior, Urea,
Secretin in the stomach, Somatostatin in gut.
Folliculinum has to be a perfect mother, wants to take care of everyone.
Cortisone has to react quickly to keep everything damped down.
Oxytocin produces bonding and bliss, connection, addiction to the high
of a sexual connection.
FOLLICULINUM
Folliculinum is not a true sarcode derived from healthy body secretion
hormone oestrogen, it is made from artificial hormone oestrone used in
contraceptive Pill. Progesterone homeopathic remedy is
also made from the artificial hormone progestogen used in contraceptive
pill, implants and HRT hormone replacement. These hormones are widely
prescribed and are in food and water supplies, so
they are likely to be important as remedies. Folliculinum cases present
with typical Sarcode language (they need to function perfectly).
CARE - feel they have to take care of everyone, mother everyone, to be a
perfect mother.
RESCUE - want to be helpful, help others, rescuing people (orphans),
charitable projects, even save the world.
SELFLESS - loss of self, loses herself in relationships, forgotten who

LOSS OF ENERGY - exhausted, drained, doormat, feels taken advantage of,
feels used, controlled by another.
CYCLE - out of sorts with her body rhythms, polycystic ovaries, mood
swings, excitability / depression, post natal depression, difficulty bonding
with her children, or the children may have separation anxiety, unable to be
separate from mother, over-dependent.
DD.: Sepia - Folliculinum (Sepia = leprosy miasm.) There is more
emphasis on cycles in Folliculinum.
DD.: Carcinosin, control, never allowed to say “No”. In Carcinosin, control is related to
perfectionism in order to control chaos, rather than the rescuing and nurturing
of Folliculinum. Melissa Assilem
has written about this in Gifts of the Mother – Matridonal Remedies of
the Humanum Family.
TESTOSTERONE
PROTECTIVE - role of protector, protective, wants to protect and take
care of family.
PERFECT specimen, needs to be desired, “making love by the fireside”.

WATER - sea, stagnant water (sarcode themes).
PROGESTERONE
In this proving conducted by Bristol Homeopathic Hospital, themes of
journeys, protection of babies and children, family, and past relationships.
The emotional and relationship theme of past lovers, was experienced by men and
women provers, the women had dreams of seeing their ex-partners again, while
the men had dreams of a missed sexual opportunity. It is interesting to see how
this female sexual reproductive hormone was equally relevant to men as a
remedy.
These themes appear to be common to the hormone sarcodes.
The following themes are specific to progesterone:
