Hi Everyone

Im a homeopathic student and I'm working on a case at the moment and I'm a bit stuck so if any of you guys can help me out that would be great!

This patient likes / wants to be popular, he wants to be the centre of attention within a group and has a strong desire to be liked by people. He says this is not a power things just that he likes to bring people together. He's kind of the entertainer within the group he likes to make people laugh and likes to laugh himself, he's an easy going type of guy, and this popularity thing is V.important too him.

He is a very laid back type of person. He's not angry at all and very rarely gets angry. He is very work orientated and fears that he will be unable to accomplish what he attempts. He's quite a 'flashy' person, in the respect he likes nice things, nice clothes, the latest technology etc. and money is quite important to him to. He works very hard at his job. Hes a young (24) business man and likes socialising a lot. He has experimented with drugs e.g coccaine, cannabis & speed, but does not take them on a regular basis and says he doesnt need them, he does it because he likes to try new things.

He is a very thoughtful person who is extremely analytical and logical, this really came through in the consultation and he repeatedly says he likes order in his life and everything has an order. He's very tidy, fastidious but doesnt give a lot away about himself to people. He's polite and smart and seems generous. His apperance is tall and thin, fair hair and freckles.

His physical problem for coming to see me is poor circulation as he suffers from permanent cold hands and feet. He also has dry skin.

This is just a brief out line of the patient but if you could let me know any remedies that may be appropriate to him that would be fantastic as I'm really quite stuck on this. Or if anyone can think of any rubrics i could use for the 'desires popularity' thing that would be great too. Thanks for all your help and if possible please respond ASAP as this case needs to be handed in quite soon. Thanks.

Pip

What you count evokes a remedy that has very much topic with the social thing. This remedy is Veratrum Album. Veratrum wants to be the center, the number one. Veratrum does not support the loss, of any class that is. His life is one to chase the social position. He is an excellent actor, in fact, enclosedly shams the disease, and has also the topic of the coldness. Veratrum is the type that there creates the mode, the perfect host, the perfect friend. It is necessary to study this remedy out of the acute topic of the disease, since the image in a Veratrum can go from the highest thing, as a spiritual leader who drags masses, up to the poor absolutly sunked(absolutly deeply depressed) devil because it has lost his position or something that wanted. Another remedy that one has to see with the social thing, with to want to be a conciliator, etc., he might be Apis. But the image of this information that you give, it is more of Veratrum.

P.D. This is not a prescription, it is a suggestion of study.

What about this rubrics:
Solitude, aversion to
Company, desire for

Hi Pip, just a suggestion. The second half of the statement above sounds like it could be explored.

What would you mean by that? One of the remedies that came to mind were Hyoscymus.

It is interesting Doctorleela, Hyoscyamus is precisely the arlequí, the buffoon who makes re-go to those who it surround, which always does the grace. It has the topic of the very important social thing also. It is another remedy to study, very well well-considered.
For Hyoscyamus there must be important dreads, since (as like) in all the solanáceas.
There is topic with the knifes and with the jealousies. Hyoscyamus is in the habit of speaking with diminutive, proves to be devalued and asks to forgive in situations that it does not have why to ask for it.
Veratrum Album is haughty and dictator, it would be the one that chases the social thing to be the number one, the center of attention, the leader. Hyoscyamus looks for the social thing for his need, for devaluation, it is easy to distinguish them.

Homeoman: what information to mental level his biochemists handle on Kali Muriaticum? Thank you.

Some time it is not necessary to treat patient by administrating medicine. It looks to me the patient has psycho problem. Better to consult BWV11 If you have strong desire to treat him with medcine then platina 200 one dose will be more suitable
