However the way he translates symptoms into rubrics is quite controversial. Some thing a lot is speculation. He looks for Present mental state, Persistent and Predominant symptoms. I'll try to precis a long article I hope correctly.

This is of a child who is constipated.

Fear of falling was used when the child suppressed the urge to let her stool go.

Ailments from anticipation when the girl thinks she will get the same pain from the stool again

Clinging, persons or furniture because in some way she is clinging to her stool.She does cling to Mum and to her dummy

Disturbed averse to - weaning being resisted because breast feeding was comfortable.

Light desires - she forgets her problems (tonsillitis) when watching TV or confronted by new people who offer amusement (light)

Unconsciousness, eyes cannot open because when in a pushchair she gazes off into the distance

The remedy given was Gels.

Sorry if I misinterpreted this in anyway. David I think you would like the way Sehgal looks at things. I just wish London was nearer where I live and easier to get to by Public transport!
