Staphisagria Anhang 2
[Allyson McQuinn]
The laws of the universe are made up of polarities. This is how the
planets don’t fly off into the ether and wipe out The Starship
Enterprise. Also, night follows day, a growth spurt follows a fever and boy
will quite often meet a girl. These polarities create new life, vortexes and
Fibonacci sequences propelling us towards growth in nature’s logical formation.
We find each other, and the embrace takes place. The swirling energy of
first love. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. My romantic heart, mind and body crave
to know the other through
a co-communion of every one of my bodies. It is true that all new life
begins with swelling and heat. This is the upside of the Fibonacci vortex.
All seeds swell with moisture when the soil heats up in spring spawning
new life. A morning glory flower will close at day’s end. The lowest palm frond
to the earth will die, shudder and peel off the trunk enabling the remaining
fronds to live on, for now. This more contractive death march is the downswing
of the Fibonacci spiral. Our intimacy en
route to orgasm works the same way up spiral down spiral up spiral down
spiral. This is also true for curing disease.
Curing rage and anger is not different. The up spiral is aggression, the
down spiral is victimization. Swelling and contraction, over-inflated
aggrandizement and its polarity, prey.
It is the two sides of the same spiral.
Our relationships are also based on these inherent physical and
spiritually-imbued polarities. They are gifts, a universal endowment. God’s
loot bag for our being birthed.
In the case of the Staphysagria disease
matrix, one person will shoot off like a canon with anger, going from 0 – 700
decibels in under 20 seconds perhaps yelling at the other person. The
expression “Going Postal” captures this side of the Staph. energy. Reacting
suddenly with an expression of anger so out of proportion to the actual stimulus
is very haracteristic. They will generally throw things
. up spiral. The down spiral of ‘victimization’ will cower in terror, making
herself as small as possible, fearing any notice with terror.
This distinct polarity is like night and day. It is true that every
unhealthy aggressor must have its equally unhealthy victim. This is not a
judgement, it is simply the observed phenomenon after 20 years of research. The
whole basis of survival of a species is based on this polarization between the
strongest and most skilled, and its prey. Nature doesn’t moralize, it is just
the way that it is.
However, we can alter this disease endowment. Run up alongside this
polarity in motion, toss the potentized remedy at it
and take out its legs. We can also force the hand of its alter ego of Lachesis (guilt and shame). After Staphysagria
is cured, it will usually illuminate Lach. I’m only
observing the outcome, the phenomenon of consciousness. Again, I’m simply an
observational scientist.
In the healthy dynamic, we term the polarity ‘will’ (masculine) and
‘surrender’ (feminine); in health we should be able to easily wield both at the
cusp of a vibrant borderland. Our heart-filled orgasm function also depends on
it. I should be able to call on either gesture at a moment’s notice. The key to
wholeness is to be able to be both conjointly! However, if someone is in a more
diseased state they forfeit choice. They become karmically
locked into one mode of being either the victim OR the aggressor, then “Houston,
we have a problem” — a Staphysagria disease problem.
It is true that formerly abused women will typically, and sadly, find another
relationship with yet another abuser, even if she thinks that she’s skipped her
karmic default ‘this time’ having secured a loving partner.
If this disease matrix is not cured outright, she’ll inadvertently
produce the very same ill-fated dynamic as before, helping to create that very
same gesture of martyrdom again seeking its very ugly mate. Often, she will
subconsciously resonate with yet another perpetrator which will reveal itself,
first subtly, and then more overtly over time the more she acquiesces to old behaviors.
I was so interested in this dynamic that I went on to do my postgraduate
research into why women are often so paralyzed in victimhood, re-attracting a
mate who causes them mental and emotional harm. I’ve studied the phenomenon
both in those that have been rapists and those that have sadly been victimized
by rape. As a woman, I wanted to understand our etiology
as historical victims often burned at the stakes of patriarchal hate.
My research, stemming back to the Bible, finally culminated with the
book, Unfolding The Essential Self; From Rage to Orgastic
Potency that cited much of Dr. Wilhelm Reich’s Character Analysis and his
understanding of how emotional and physical shocks become characterological
armoring stored up in the physical body. After I’d
apprehended my thesis, I wanted to find out what to do about it clinically.
This seemed like a natural avenue to follow as a multi-orgasmic Feminist.
As a result, at Arcanum Wholistic Clinic where
I serve patients, internationally, we use sound regimen to make the organism
both strong and labile (another polarity), and then homeopathic remedies like Staphysagria to discharge the anger from a timeline of
abuse or aggression. Through Character Analysis and a more cognitive approach,
we help to ensure that the patient doesn’t reinfect
themselves again with the old state of mind, reverting to old default patterns.
It can be likened to very carefully and elegantly dismantling a bomb.
The expressions of rage can be profoundly deep and cathartic. Sometimes
the patient will yell, scream, hit a punching bag, project or simply and more
subtly just “change her own mind.” I’ve had patients express deep rage at a
suppressive parent by staging their imaginal death on
the stage of their imagination. Much liberation can occur from an exercise like
that. Journaling and meditations can also be brilliant homework to help raise
consciousness of the issue as it resolves.
It depends on the individual and how deep into the somatic layer the
depth charge was laid. The reverberations can be a ripple in a puddle or of
tsunami-like proportions.
Aggressors and victims alike will often have the linchpin removed as we
reach deeper into the sequential removal of their childhood shocks and traumas.
Early childhood will
reveal the force-field where the engenderment first occurred. The key is
to be able to effectively hold the patient as they hit the psychic trip wires
laid lovingly at their feet.
The force field of hate will be revealed. It is just a matter of time
and patience. It will be laid bare and raw for us both to view the original
split in consciousness for which they subconsciously decided between victim or
aggressor. When the patient sees it, they will choose to change it, and
discharge the energy of persecution. The aggressor will show empathy and the
victim will step up and exhibit self-compassion and a desire to protect herself
(and those entrusted to her) appropriately. It is fair to say that I love this moment
of liberation.
I liken that magical moment in session to waking from a dream, albeit a
nightmarish possession of sorts. Jesus even said, “Father, forgive them, for
they do not know what they
are doing. And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.” Luke 23:34.
As you can see, here we have the division cited again from a historical
perspective. The schizophrenic
split between aggressor and victim wholly becomes healed.
Once the rage is resolved, it opens the individual up more for love and
true orgastic potency out of a healthier will and
capacity for surrender up spiral down spiral. They’ll be able to oscillate and
hold the charge of a healthier radial and contractive gesture. Reich termed
this the healthy orgonome. Former abusers will
generally find their more sweet, wisdom-soaked and surrendered side, victims
will find their vital drive to become their more vibrant essential selves,
fulfilled and more fully actualized; both can now know true orgastic
potency.
This is why I re-wrote this polarity from my rage thesis, two years
later, into a novel entitled, Sophie’s Truth; How a Young Girl Unfolded Her
Essential Self Through Love.
For me, I had wanted to depict this healthy polarity between the sexes
in the story form of a novel and see how we treat the state of mind more
clinically. I wrote it for both
men and women even though the main character is female and narrowly
misses being raped at a house party and how she uses the remedy Staphysagria to find her essential
orgastic self.
You may see where the dynamic of victimization was first seeded in my
character’s story. Her parents are terrified that she will have sex, constantly
projecting their fears onto
her with helicopter-parenting which creates the armored
terror Sophie suffers. Eventually, it produces the ultimate prey response at a
party one night where she is victimized.
A victimized child will just recreate her being victimized in other
circumstances. Her fright is sniffed out by a young aggressor, motivated by
hate, eager to bite into the flesh
of her soft, tender neck by a character I named Peter (the wolf
incarnate).
It was important to me, at the time, to share the thesis in a less
academic, more accessible novel with younger women who craved to know love and
true orgastic potency after a
rape – the supreme form of victimization. I depict Sophie, my character,
as having been conditioned as a victim by her parents who raise her to have
virtually no trust or self-reliance. Her parents were her first persecutors,
and the pattern is later mirrored in her social schema. Peter, of course, is
her Father in younger sheep’s clothing. It is an actual depiction of a great
number of patients I’ve served.
After receiving just two homeopathic remedies, Aurum
for inner value, and Staphysagria for victimization,
my character comes to a better place of grace, just as I’ve described
clinically above. Sophie makes some stunning realizations on the bus from Paris
to Nice, France that enable her to move through her karmic conditioning,
evolving into the young woman who’s able to be on equal footing with her true
beloved.
Much of my research speaks to Dr. Wilhelm Reich’s book, Children of the
Future, which describes the phenomenon of armoring
and how our belief structures are just faulty sutures on the traumas of our
past. These emotional insults show up in our body’s segments as biological
sheaths that over time become plates like shields in our musculoskeletal
systems that can be measured by how much energy remains trapped below the skin
when a stimulus is perceived.
A parent’s aggressive tendencies to always be in charge will produce
eternal victims that just seek out other aggressors to replace the ones that
she grew up with. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen this in my
practice. The idea is that by softening the musculature with good nutrition,
exercise, ample water, exercise and the right homeopathic remedies administered
at the right time using the law of cure, the individual can extricate
themselves from their karmic patterning.
The patient will begin to adhere to her own inner ethical compass
(instead of an external one) and begin to exercise her will, in conjunction
with her capacity to surrender, and grow her confidence and capacity to step up
on her own behalf, out of self-love. It is the most beautiful thing to see. I
feel so blessed to have witnessed this true transformation countless times.
Like my character, Sophie, who starts out by not being capable of making
an autonomous decision for herself (until she achieves cure of her state of
mind by homeopathic law),
I’ve served patients exhibiting the same qualities. Once, however, she’s
finally set free, discharging the rage of persecution, she’s able to fully
self-actualize more into a state of
grace with a healthier will and discernment.
It is such true grace to witness both my female and male patients come
to a state of more balanced grace after an event of sexual assault. It is tough
to help them find the necessary kahunas to become the
healthy leader at times when it is necessary, or alternatively, completely
relax and let themselves be taken out of love. It’s true that tantra (inside out) may
be the polarity of the more base pornography (outside in), but that’s a
whole other article.
I once took a self-defense course, called Wen-do, in my 20s designed specifically for women in the
booming metropolis of downtown Toronto. It was highly recommended by
the Rape Crisis Centre in order for women to learn instinctual coping
strategies needed for fending off an aggressor when needed. I witnessed the
bravest of women, studying
this art of self-defense, from the seat of
their wheelchairs!
It is fair that I felt concerned for my less able-bodied sister, but
thankfully, I learned that you don’t have to be stronger, just more
knowledgeable about physics. I witnessed that from any position, you can
facilitate the aggressor in the direction that he’s already going in by using
his momentum, immobilizing him to the floor, pinning him in his tracks.
In the class, we were encouraged to get comfortable finding our voices,
and acting completely crazy by screaming out random grocery lists items! This
can actually be effective
in the face of an aggressor who can become instantly afraid of someone
seriously mad while spitting the words, “broccoli, cauliflower and cheese
strings!” into their face with a familiar bridled hate-soaked will. I learned
that you can turn the tables on an aggressor in an instant using this approach!
I was also truly amazed, in that class, at how hard it was to teach some
women to express rage, even in the face of an aggressor who could possibly maim
them or worse.
You could tell that they were just pre-programmed to “take it”, due to
prior unresolved traumas in childhood. You could actually observe them
empowering the aggressor with
their broken wills and victimized stance, their gestures of anger hollow
and empty. Their armoring condemning them to a plight
of repeated violations and I felt afraid for them.
It was interesting to me that when my son was studying Aikido, he’d ask
me to attack him and then suddenly I’d find myself sucking dirt off the kitchen
floor. Even though he
was taller and much stronger than me, he showed me how I could also
render the same move and get the same good results with him when he,
alternatively, pretended to attack
me. It was amazingly effective. Too bad we don’t spend more time
educating aggressors how to become caring and conscientious human beings with empathie.
In order to be fully threaded as orgastic
beings, we have to be able to convert our hate and rage into love or we’re lost
without either hope, gestures of self-love, or faith in ourselves. We need
access to both in order to foster a healthy capacity for sexual intimacy where
we toss the tantric ball back and forth between us through the oscillating
gesture of will and surrender.
The orgasm function is totally built on this inherent capacity. Leading
ourselves and the other closer and closer up and also down the climactic steps until
we build up enough energy in our organism to trip the lights fantastic into the
realm of the more heady all-over body orgasm, a loss of consciousness and full
discharge of all nether content, including anger.
A full release of this hate and rage is actually not possible for either
the Staphysagria victim or their aggressor as I will
illustrate further below.
When I give Staphysagria on the sound basis of
like cures like, I see a brilliant resolution to an individual’s capacity to
step up out of victimization, or alternatively, step down from having been more
the aggressor. After the remedy is given, I’ll often counsel the patient to
take a partnered dance class to learn how to lead, or to acquiesce. Also a
self-defense course where a person can learn to
scream, “carrots!” like never before, can save a life.
Case Illustrations of the polarities of Staphysagria
for Clinician and Patients (Please note that due to patient confidentiality, I
had to find other creative ways to illustrate this phenomenon in nature):
A few years ago, I was interviewed by John Campbell on his radio show in
Saint John, New Brunswick. It was about a local politician who’d been put away
in jail for the sexual assault of a number of youth in his care. I argued that
both the perpetrator and the victims were equally broken and that the way the
justice system works, neither party obtains cure which just continues to
perpetuate the dynamic, generation after generation. It is palliative, or
suppressive, at best as the victims will generally grow up to be aggressors.
I recall in my early 20’s thinking about going into Law until I
witnessed firsthand the injustices in the justice system. The rapists and
murderers often going free based on a technical loophole spun by a savvy lawyer
who could work the system was such an abomination of justice.
I’d lived with my Godparents after my parents had died at age 17. My
Uncle was one of the top criminal lawyers in Canada. I often read diaries of
the offenders and then went
to watch, in fascination, the court proceedings. I once asked him how
many of his clients were guilty, and he replied ‘all of them’. When I asked him
how many he got off from serving time, he replied, ‘almost all of them’.
In one case his client had raped and murdered a young girl in Niagara
Falls. I had read his journals. He was the son of a fellow big wig lawyer. That
boy walked and on that day
in court, so did I.
As a result of getting so many criminals “off” my Uncle died prematurely
by Alcoholism and Type II Diabetes (unable to extract the sweetness out of
life) for which I’d had to attend to festering sores on his feet. My aunt was
off travelling and having affairs with various wealthy tycoons. It was a sick
and dysfunctional picture of impotence. Not my long-term gig at all.
Thus, though, this Physician was born with a deep love for resolving
chronic disease and a phenomenal fascination for armoring
and the healthy human condition was born.
My partner and I are listening to the Serial podcast with Sarah Koenig
and the Undisclosed podcast with Rabia Chaudry regarding the Adnan Syed case in the States where a Muslim youth was totally
framed for the murder of a young Asian girl. Both, sadly, were victims of a
patriarchal judicial system that had no desire but to serve its white supremacist
self. It is great to hear the police and justice system totally torn apart by
law professors and a couple of ethical young lawyers, although, 17 years post
hence. However, I digress.
This brings me to the conclusion of my study here. I want you to hear
the words of a victim of a woman victimized by Jian Ghomeshi. He’s a famous ex-radio show host who allegedly
victimized and brutally assaulted a string of innocent women. Many went on
dates with him with promises that he’d help their modeling
or acting careers.
Listen to their words and please let me know at the bottom of this
article what your response is to them. The first one even comes from an
adjacent village from mine in New Brunswick.
Excerpt: “The pain was so bad, she recalled, that she considered going
to the hospital the next day. Instead, she accepted Ghomeshi’s
pleas to give him one more chance and meet him again in a public place for a
platonic outing. They ended up watching TV at his house and cuddling. He told
her he was from an abusive family. They maintained a friendly correspondence
for a while, but what happened didn’t sit well with her. She ultimately
confronted him to say she felt he had manipulated her. That’s when he reminded
her in an aggressive tone that he had kept records: “I have text messages you
WANTED it ””
Excerpt: “Three other women told me similar stories, supported by
evidence, of manipulation and entrapment. Ghomeshi
would establish an electronic paper trail before the alleged violence took
place and would make efforts to continue a correspondence afterwards. It
followed a pattern.”
Excerpt: “They would then meet him, and what happened, happened. If
women were upset with him or elusive afterwards, Ghomeshi
would seem to become nervous and made efforts to normalize things. One woman
said he showed up at her home in tears. He sent friendly, flattering emails,
and sometimes they would respond in kind. Once this record
of amicable contact was established, he would stop responding to their
messages. Some chased after him with solicitous emails.”
As the trial has gone on, I’ve watched women engage with a nervous, more
morbid fascination. Usually it’s women who have a history of sexual abuse and
victimization seeking
a crude homeopathic dose attempting to cure themselves. I’ve heard
firsthand just how enthralled they are. You see, they’ve not yet reconciled, or
cured, that side of their victimized selves and they find the proceedings
bringing up old, unresolved traumas where they suffered instances of the same
abuse, it is the sad plight of the Staphysagria state
of mind.
[Sankaran]
A syco-syphilitic remedy of the cancer miasm for someone who has to maintain dignity despitebeing humiliated.
I have found that Staphysagria patients have a
tendency to develop cancer.They are morbidly
sensitive. The effect of this sensitivity is very deep and long lasting. They
set for themselves a task which is nearly impossible. That task is to maintain
their dignity despite being beaten down, insulted and humiliated. The main
feeling of Staphysagria is one of dignity and honour,
like a person of noble birth. He feels that he should live up to his sense of
dignity and honour (which is often far more than needed in a man in his
position).
He should not do anything that is undignified, even though others may do
so. He should never lower himself to the other man’s level (and retaliate by
acting as he does). He must never lose his control, since it would be very much
below his honour and dignity to do so. If somebody insults him, he has to keep
control as befits his noble birth. He cannot lose
his temper and become abusive or violent. Were he to do so, he would
feel very upset and feel that he had done himself an indignity and this, to
him, would be worse than the effect of the insult itself. Hence the sentence in
Phatak’s Materia Medica: “Great indignation about things done by others or
by himself; grieves about the consequences”. This for me is a very significant
sentence. He worries about the effect of such a lack of control on his
reputation. The sentence in Phatak’s Materia Medica is: “Very
sensitive to what others say about him”. The feeling seems to be that his
survival depends upon maintaining a very high reputation and self-control, of
being a very superior, calm and dignified person who wins the respect of all by
his noble actions a person who is much above the ordinary.
Staphysagria shares with Aurum
a “Fear of heights, of falling”. He should bear all the humiliations but must
not respond or he will lose his dignity. At a point, the Staphysagria
person can find it too much to keep the control. He starts to lose it and the
first signs are found as the suppressed anger begins to surface:
Trembling
in anger.
Voice lost during anger.
Face red in anger.
Weakness after anger.
Hemiplegia after
anger.
Anger, throws things away.
Strike, desire to.
These are the first signs of losing control. Later, when the situation
has become desperate and he feels the demand on him is too much, he may throw
to the wind all his reputation and honour, and become the opposite, i.e. a
person of ill-repute, who is looked down upon and treated with utmost
disrespect. Here we have the rubric: “Libertinism”. On the physical level, there
may be loss of control over muscles. He can get: “Convulsions from being
unjustly accused” (Synthetic Repertory, Vol. II).
Staphysagria imposes on himself a very strict
code of honour and is very indignant with himself if he doesn’t uphold it. So,
he has to suppress a lot of his urges (sexual sphere).
He is very timid and cowardly, and has feelings of guilt. He cannot
express his increased sexual desire directly for fear of being hurt and out of
a sense of shame, and because of his self-respect Staphysagria
is not one who can ogle at women. He therefore suppresses his desire and we get
the characteristics: “Dwells on sexual matters”. There is also a prominent
tendency to masturbation. To control the anger and the passion -to swallow the
ego and hurt- becomes a survival mechanism. This is the situation that can
present the maximum problems, for example in the area of sexuality a person
intensely concerned with his honour and reputation will be too embarrassed to
express his sexuality openly and this aspect
will be suppressed, expressed only in his fantasy (“Ailments from
embarrassment” and “Sexual-minded”). But even these fantasies can produce
intense guilt and fear, guilt that he is indulging in such fantasies and fear
that it may be discovered by others. The whole edifice of honour and reputation
that he has built up and guarded will collapse. This leads to an intense state
of anxiety, a neurotic anxiety with the feeling that somebody is behind him,
and so he constantly keeps looking back. The need to keep perfect control, to
live far beyond his capacity makes of Staphysagria a syco-syphilitic remedy. The sycotic
aspect is manifested in the reserved, almost secretive nature and the constant
apprehension that others might find his weakness, which is the losing of
self-control. This need for control is sometimes seen in the struggle to give
up smoking.
The main characteristic of Staphysagria is
extreme sensitivity and reactivity, both emotionally and physically. If you
touch the Staphysagria patient at his sensitive
point, which is
his honour, reputation and self-respect, there will be an immediate
intense reaction though it is often suppressed. Kent writes: “A man insulted by
someone beneath his station could not react outwardly, went home sick, weak and
trembling.” Physically too, Staphysagria is indicated
in extremely sensitive conditions like a painful surgical scar or a sensitive
tooth. In Phatak’s Repertory it is the only remedy
listed in the rubric: “Sensitive, morbidly”. Also there is hardening, to cover
up the sensitivity as is shown by a tendency to styes
and tumours. This sensitivity could only be found in a plant and not in a
metal, salt or animal. In its nature it has the softness of a plant rather than
hardness of a mineral or the competitiveness of an animal.
In my experience, I have seen that with Staphysagria
there can be 2 extremes, one which has such suppressed emotions where the
person will say: “I last got angry 17 years ago”,
and the one who cannot control – as Phatak
says: “Violent outbursts of passion”, “Always angry”. The Staphysagria
patients we see in practice lie somewhere between these extremes, and the
common theme which links them all are matters of honour and respect, and the
internal feeling that they have is of a very high reputation to live up to.
Staphysagria can have many fears: fear of being
insulted, of being mortified, fear of being killed; he can be afraid even of
his own shadow. I have observed that Staphysagria is
very apologetic during the consultation, as if to ward off any rudeness
of the physician and to avoid being reprimanded by him. He has anticipation
because of sensitivity to hurt. The patients apologize for everything – if they
missed their turn in the consultation; or if they have not taken the medicine
for a few days and are not feeling better, they usually blame themselves for
it. I recall a patient who when entering the consultation room paused and asked
if she should leave her slippers at the door. We see here someone who is
careful and cautious in finding out what is the norm of the clinic
before she does anything, because she does not want a reprimand from me and
doesn’t want to be admonished. Behind this sensitivity to being reprimanded and
being admonished, one can perceive the expression of a delusion, which is that
as long as she is following the rules of the person
in authority, she is okay. Her perception of reality is that she is
always under somebody whom she has to obey and whom she has to follow.
It is as if Staphysagria has made a contract
with the rest of the world regarding just behaviour. The problem is, he has
signed it, but the world has not.
The situational Materia Medica
of Staphysagria is that of a man who comes from an
honourable background, but at present is poor or dependent, or under someone
who humiliates him. He cannot openly revolt or show his anger since he feels he
would be belittling himself in doing so. It is a situation of being unjustly
treated by a person on whom he is dependent, so there is:
The need for justice.
Egotism.
Insulted feeling.
Mortification.
Suppressed anger.
Occasional violent outbursts of anger.
But it is not like the rage of Lyssinum with
its biting and kicking. It is not a situation of being tormented like Lyssinum but just being treated unfairly, mortified,
insulted. It is not something active, not taking a stick and poking the ribs. Telling
you to get out creates the Staphysagria feeling,
whereas taking a stick poking your ribs 3x daily creates that of Lyss.
Here I recall the situation of Mahatma Gandhi. He was born in a country
ruled by the British, who had a contempt for those with dark skin. However,
Gandhi showed such nobility and uncompromising dignity that he won the respect
not only of his countrymen, being called Mahatma or Great Soul, but also of the
very people who oppressed and insulted him. He did this by showing
self-control, control on violence and by his rigid persistence with truth and
morality.
Harilal, the eldest son of Gandhiji, in my view was in a completely given up state of Staphysagria. He was already born with the Staphysagria state inherited from his father. To add to it
he had to live up to a reputation of being the son of Gandhi. He coped well at
first, joined the freedom struggle in South Africa and like his father was
imprisoned several times. But soon, with the increasing demands on him, both
from society and from his father, super-added to an already Staphysagria
state, he gave up completely and took to all kinds of bad habits, bringing much
dishonour to his family.
I have observed that Staphysagria does not
have the attitude of Platinum. He is not outwardly egoistic nor does he put on
airs like a king or queen. I have found these persons to be soft, quiet,
reserved, often humble-looking, but have strongly felt in their presence the
need to treat them with honour and respect. Their sensitivity to being spoken
to rudely or to being treated disrespectfully is palpable. This very contrast
between their appearance and their sense of honour is the “indication” that I
have used time and again to spot the Staphysagria
patients, sometimes in the very first minute of an interview.
Besides Staphysagria, the other cancer miasm remedies belonging to the plant kingdom that I know
of are Ignatia and Anacardium.Carcinosinum
is complementary to Staphysagria but the Carcinosinum situation is caused by being heavily
controlled by the person on whom one depends, whereas that of Staphysagria is caused by being insulted by him.
The other remedy complementary to Staphysagria
is Sulphur. The Staphysagria state is the one in
which the person feels humiliated and insulted. Naturally this state will arise
more easily in one who originally had pride and egotism than in one who did
not. We know that Staphysagria is often followed by
Sulphur. In other words a Sulphur state of egotism predisposes to a Staphysagria state of humiliation.
