I am looking to repertorize the following mental symptom:

The person is learning new things only by continuous repetition over a long period of time and if there is a break in executing the learned activity, he forgets it again and has to relearn by repetition. The main way of learning is kinestetic.

It has nothing to do with intelligence for the person in question is a mathematical genius !
Any help is appreciated.

Robin Murphy

Mind, Learns, poorly

Mind, Learning, disabilities, studying, reading, learns with difficulty

Nothing more specific than that.

Does he use glasses? Sound like a calc carb, they get braindisturbances like that, also in sulphur.
Could also be from a dislocation in the back sutch a problem.
Its not always, that a rubric wil help you find the remdy if taking it directly, something has to be interpreted, after experience, and knowledge in pathology, chemie, and psycology, and even sociology..

Hi,

Here's a rubric in Murphy's Repertory:
Mind, memory,weakness of, learned by heart,cannot repeat what he. Mez. is the only remedy.

Also, Mind, memory, weakness of, studies, of young people in their-nat-c.(2)

Mind, memory, weakness of, read, for what he has.
Mind, memory, weakness, facts, for.
Mind, memory, forgetful, connection of consecutive thoughts,of-op.(2)
Mind, memory, forgetful, mental exertion, from
Mind, memory, loss of, mental exertion, from

Snoopy

I stand corrected again Oops, I didn't look very hard

There is a rubric I think might be appropriate....

"Concentration difficult, if interrupted" - berb,mez.

Berberis vulgaris

Mental labour requiring close thinking very difficult; the least interruption breaks the train of thought.Vanishing of thoughts when interrupted.

Mez is also a good thought. I have used Mez recently, but the indifference was uppermost.

Thanks to all for their input. It is not only
learning of intellectual material, but also learning about daily things which are affected. We could be looking at a mental defect which runs in the males of his family.

The man in question is not in the least a Calc Carb - Sulphur has been tried without success in the past.
Nat.Mur. has resulted in a tiny "opening" but since then has not produced any lasting results. The individual is trying to open up from being closed down all his life and it seems just too darn difficult for him.

Mez sounds rather close - thanks and I'll keep looking...

I welcome all ideas, for further investigation.

Being closed down mentally and emotionally is a primary symptom of sycosis. He probably needs deep maismic treatment. Most sycotic cases begin with Thuja (Hahnemann used only Thuja and Nit. ac. to treat it). Nat mur is also anti-sycotic so that may explain why there was a small response to it.

If using sulph, and that dont work, it dont exclude calc carb, you have to come up with a better explanation than that, if not, you deserve failure in the cases!

Syntetic rep: matematics, apt for, calc c, cocc, lach , nux v.
memory weak, read for what has.. cocc, lach..
Conceentration, difficult, interrupted if, berberis gose through al rubrics, ans is a possibleremedy..but using studing, reading etc, while..lach..nuxv

all in all, try lachesis, and if it dont work try berberis.
What Hahnemann used, is not relevant, he had only 90 remedies at his disposal, we have over 2000...
