Gibbaeum pubescens
Year 2020, Issue 9, Article 2CaseAuthor: Martin Jakob
Case, woman, 60, arthritis.This woman was five years ago already for some time in treatment with me, but I never could find a real good remedy for her, five years later it needed just one consultation, this shows how nicely the refined plant theory is working.
A 60 year old woman, has pain in both shoulder joints, the left side is worse, < at night, < movement, certain movements do not work at all, e.g. covering herself, in addition she then takes the second hand, otherwise it does not work. Also lifting the arms in the extension is not possible. X-rays and ultrasound did not show any results. The drug Diclofenac did not help. She used to have Lyme disease. For two years now she has also been suffering from tachycardia, her pulse then rises from 40 to 140, often at night, it beats very strongly and she feels how her heart starts racing. This is connected with fear and cold sweat on her forehead, she then does breathing exercises, tries to wrap herself in blue light and become completely calm.
She works in a home for the handicapped as a caregiver (Siliciumserie/Caryophyllidae). She says she has to find herself more - come closer to her soul - what she really is. (Lanthanides) She constantly does everything for others (Phase 2) and often loses herself with it, then she gets heart palpitations.
She takes up the worries about the children too much (Silicium -series) - the lasting conflict - the quarrel and jealousy of her daughter - it is so much unspoken. She tries to help each of her children immediately, she does what she can for them - but what doesn't work doesn’t work. One of the children always feels too little loved by her and her husband. One daughter told her and let her feel that she was neglecting her (phase 6), that she was not there for her enough - that offended the patient extremely - where she has done so much for the daughter, all the time. (Phase 6)
She was defending herself - "I didn't know about the accusations". "I was annoyed, I got right into it. (Phase 6) At the same time it made her insecure (stage on the left side, phase 2/3), maybe she didn't do everything possible for her daughter.
Until a few years ago, she cared for her parents-in-law until they died, after that she was very exhausted. (Phase 6 = exhausted) (Silicon series) She always had to be present ( = adjust = Phase 2) for her in-laws. Her mother-in-law was always extremely dominant, only the work counted for her - it was terrible.
Father: She didn't feel noticed by him, he never really appeared to her. He was never able to show her that he liked her (can see or feel the standpoint of her father = plant, taking the other's point of view is a good hint to the plant realm) As a child she experienced him as the powerful one who said what to do. „One had no possibility to do one's own thing with him“. (Lanthanides) (Father = Phase 6)
When she was a teenager she rebelled totally, she stopped or rejected everything that came out of her fathers imagination, did everything differently as he wanted. (Rebel = stage 6)
Mother: She did what her husband wanted her to do, she oriented herself completely towards him. (Phase 2) She was a woman who always worked extremely hard.
She totally broke off contact with her parents after they were against the connection to her husband. She said, that she has abandoned her parents, probably it is so that then the own children leave one also alone. (Phase 6/7)AnalyseGibbaeum pubescens 3-663.26.06 C 200 later 1MK
Asteranae 3-660, Lanthanides: She must find herself, come closer to her soul, come to what she really is.
Carophyllidae 3-663.00: (The subclass is what she relay does in her life) What she really does, she cares for her family and she works, cares for disabled people.
Aizoales 663.20: (The Phase is determined by the situation how she actually is for her) She constantly does everything for others, i.e. she adapts to the needs of others, does not do her own. She is uncertain whether she hasn't done too little for her daughter. Also with the parents-in-law, she always had to be present. Phase 2 is confirmed by, how she experienced her mother as a child, the mother did what her father wanted (she adapted = Phase 2). Heart problems, palpitations;
Delospermoideae 3-663.26: (The subphase is determined how she feels in the situation) She has the feeling that she gives a lot, but it is not enough, she is angry and offended. She has abandoned her parents and do expect the same from her children. How she experienced her father as a child confirms Subphase 6, she felt ignored (= not valued). (Phase 6 = a kind of rheumatic complaints)
Gibbaeum pubescens 3-663.26.06: (The stage is determined by how she acts in the situation, DD. Subclass, is what someone does in his life, e.g. what he works, or whether he makes music etc.) She rebels, makes exactly different as the father imagines it.
Prescription: Gibbaeum pubescens C 200 every 10 days then 1MK every three then four weeks.
Follow up after six weeks and 3.5 months:
After 6 weeks the shoulders and heart symptoms are 80% better. The heart has only a slight palpitation (Aizoales) left, before that she had the feeling that her heart was jumping out of her chest. She is more calm inside, can more easily say no to the children, that's what she said before too, but then she got heart palpitations afterwards, (phase 2 can't say no, DD. Beryll.) She doesn't have that anymore. The joints are much better, she's been moving a lot lately and it was no problem at all. The Gibbaeum pubescens has made her stronger internally. She now has a good contact to the daughter with whom it was so difficult before, she drives to her without thinking about it in before, just do it, to make her daughter happy. She does more for herself. Her quality of life has increased from 50 to 80, she says she feels much more secure, it is no comparison to before Gibbaeum pubescens. She has only very few heart problems, hardly feels it any more, the shoulder joints are also very good.AnalysisPlants: loves her garden.
Lanthanides: borreliosis; meditation; own way.
Silicon series: friendly; problems with her daughter.
Phase 6: arthritis; borreliosis; never enough for her daughter; works for disabled people; father dictatorial.
Phase 2: friendly; says yes to everyone, never said no.
Stage 6: tough; rebellious.Follow up.After she is 80% better. Her heart is almost completely well. She has better contact to her daughter and also the other daughters are more friendly to her. She does not have the fear to go her daughter anymore.
She has found an inner calmness.
Other remedies that had no or little effect: Praseodymium carbonicum, Dulcamara, Carcinosinum, Calcium carbonicum, Kalium phosphorcium, Gaultheria, Campanula riotundifolia, Melissa officinalis, Heliotropninum peruvianum.
