Covid 19 Pandemic and Radium bromatumMiasmatic analysis of the pandemic7th row of the periodic table
The Covid 19 pandemic is obviously a global crisis and thus it is not a personal or family crisis (1st-3rd row), not a crisis of a small rural area (4th row), not even a city (5th row). It is also not limited to one nation (6th row). The pandemic is international, global and so the search for the genius epidemicus in the 7th row is an obvious one. The independence of the pandemic from directly visible disasters, social misery, wars and climatic factors is also striking. So it seems reasonable to conclude that the pandemic has to do with the current basic problems facing humanity and the planet as a whole, the tension and split between nature and human beings, which has set in motion a terrible destruction that can ultimately also deprive us of our livelihoods.
7th series topics• The endangered nature: destruction of natural resources and livelihoods, impending climate catastrophe, globalization (including diseases, Covid 19), atomic age. The destruction of habitats for animals and the loss of biological biodiversity is often cited as the cause of epidemics, and for this pandemic in particular. The virus of an animal leaps over to the aggressor, the human being who is pushing back nature. This skipping applies mainly to wild animals. (Zoonosis) In a scientific study in the August 2020 issue of the renowned journal "Nature": "The diversity of zoonotic hosts is increasing in human-dominated ecosystems.""The diversity of zoonotic hosts is increasing in human-dominated ecosystems."
• The threatened person thrown on himself: The already visible destruction of the foundations of life through the destruction of nature and wars threaten people. Flows of refugees of previously unknown proportions arise. In addition, in the 7th row there is also the disintegration of tradition and structures that have held up until now such as religions. The frequent breakup of marriage and family and the dissolution of fixed gender roles throw people on themselves and lead to isolation, loneliness and loss of security in a community.
• Reaction to the threat: Fear, panic, depression and readiness to use violence are personal reactions, fundamentalization, (religious) radicalization and terrorism are political answers to people's insecurity due to the threatened or actual disintegration and destruction of political, cultural structures and natural livelihoods. Epidemics and pandemics are nature's reactions to their destruction and domination by humans. (Zoonosis)
Stage 2 / typhoid miasm / radiumThe pandemic is driven by the lack of clarity and uncertainty about the extent of the threat and endangerment; there is confusion and doubts about how to deal with it.
This gives rise to two opposing viewpoints and attitudes:
1. The typhoid miasm is also assigned to stage 2, "something bad has happened", fear and panic are rampant: "The situation is serious and we must act immediately." There are clear rules and guidelines from above, from the Governments. For many, this creates a feeling of security and the situation requires adjustment, like children who follow the rules of their parents. Typical characteristics of stage 2 come to light: Vulnerability, adapts without contradiction or doubts, is insecure, confused and seeks support, cannot master a new situation and is afraid of it, appears helpless. The atmosphere of this crisis is based on looking up towards the authorities; power must be given over to specialists and politicians. Most of them feel secure in the government measures and precautions provided by rescue packages and help from above. Everyone must pull together.
2. Radicalization, fundamentalization (7th row) as an answer to fear, panic and insecurity. Due to the lack of clarity and uncertainty, firm, sometimes radical positions are taken, in which the pandemic is sometimes denied. Information and opinions, conspiracy theories, which mostly come from the Internet, are delusionally compiled and made into firm personal opinions.
These opposing positions lead to controversy and division in society, which have their runners up to the extended families. Families get into quarrels and often split into two irreconcilable camps. Even married couples often suffer from conflict due to opposing attitudes to the pandemic.
Salt / stage 17 / bromineBromine is an obvious salt. In the literature, bromine is described as a lung medicine, is successfully used in pneumonia and has the psychological image of exclusion, psychosis and delusional relationships (conspiracy theories). Bromine potentiates radium in this regard.
Radium bromatum
Essence and essence, characteristic life situations, from examination and clinical experience, as well as drug theory by Clarke
An essential feature of this remedy is the split: the split between man and nature, the split in the family and the split in marriage, as well as a split world of thought, which is no longer accessible to arguments and insights in its one-sidedness. References to the global issue of the split between man and nature and the suppression and domination of nature by man have shown a dream and a test symptom of Radium bromatum.
Split between man and natureExamination symptom: An examiner utters animal screams as he circles the village in which he lives in deep snow a few hundred meters away. He is in the dark, he feels like a great ape that is excluded and not allowed to go home. He looks at the lights of the village in solitude and isolation and a feeling of great unhappiness.
Dream during the exam: he is walking in the forest on his path that he always walks. He goes out into the clearing he already knows. There are construction machines standing close together. A highway is being built through the forest and everything is torn up. Nature is uprooted. He sees the violence of the whole process and regrets how many animals have lost their home in and above the earth
Comment: Part of many people's experience of the pandemic is nature's brief sigh of relief during the lockdown. An exemplary test symptom and a dream under Radium bromatum also confirm this aspect. The pushed back and destroyed nature seems to defend itself through a zoonosis by attacking the aggressor, humans.
Division of thought, one-sidedness, completely inaccessible to arguments. Judge everything from its own narrow point of view. The one-sided limited perspective leads to a split limited view of reality with destructive consequences. Relationships, marriages, families, partnerships and friendships fall apart. Depression and isolation are the result and encourage delusional ideas, conspiracy theories and convoluted thinking. Misconduct on the part of the other is seen so seriously that contact has to be broken off. Sections of the lateral thinker movement seem to suffer from such a division and one-sidedness.
Division in the family: Two parties form within the family and blame each other. One party insinuates that the other has conspired against them with a third party. Final contact breaks are in the room and happen. Children and family members see no place for themselves in their families, they feel excluded and alone. Siblings are hostile to one another or have become hostile to one another and no longer speak to one another. Children learn late that their stepfather is not their birth father. Adopted, knows his father, not his parents. (See Magnesium muriaticum, actinides and bird medicines)
Split in partnership: Inaccessible in love. She is no longer accessible to conversations and arguments and interprets everything out of an unsatisfied, jealous way. Dissatisfied, moody, jealous when her partner engages with friends. He can't please her. His wife seems like a watchdog to him. The heart relationship between him and his wife has been lost, the relationship has become marriage-hell. The partner should behave as she wants.
Dealing with the extraordinary possibilities and abilities that open up for humans in the 7th row, in the atomic age, is still very naive in stage 2 and therefore also dangerous. Man makes and does and cannot and does not want to become aware of the consequences of being naive and unconscious in dealing with nature.
Radium bromatum and Covid 19In all cases of Covid 19, Radium bromatum was prescribed as the first remedy and in each case there was an improvement in the symptoms. All the classic symptoms of Covid 19 disappeared in a wide variety of patients, 28 in the number who were Covid 19 positive. The more severe the disease, the more impressive the effect within 6-24 hours in 7 severe cases. In all cases, no consequences of the disease could be seen after 3 weeks at the latest after homeopathic treatment. Radium bromatum was remarkably effective in many cases of fear, panic, stress and grief around Covid 19 without these patients
Radiation pneumonia with dry, irritating cough and dyspnoea are generally known for Radium bromatum. An extensive drug proving from Clarke confirms many of the Covid 19 symptoms.
• Alternating fever and frost (Clarke)
• Difficulty breathing, feels like there is not enough air (Clarke)
• Dry cough (Clarke)
• Severe joint and muscle pain, headache, back of the headache, lumbar pain, sacralgia and sciatica. The pain is pressing, stabbing, radiating. (Clarke)
• Loss of smell and taste
• A pain in the nose as if it had sucked in water (Clarke describes a peppery sensation in the nose)
• Apathetic, desperate, hopeless, extreme weakness (Clarke: barely able to move around)
• To choke panic breathlessness with fear, with fear of Covid 19 and Covid 19
• Chronic exertional dyspnea, tachycardia at low levels
Case study exemplarily from 28 casesPatient, 46 years old (case 1)
Before homeopathic treatment: The patient and her whole family, husband, 50 years old and their 2 children, 17 and 20 years old, have been suffering from a Covid 19 infection that tested positive for 11 days. Her oldest son was the first to fall ill with a sore throat, headache, mild nausea and a fever of 38.3 ° C. After a few days he was completely healthy again. Shortly afterwards, the husband fell ill with a temperature of 39.5 ° C for one day. Then he got a dry, tickling cough and a pressure on his chest. After 10 days he is still limp and has a dry cough. The youngest son suffered from brief diarrhoea and was then completely healthy again.
Her illness began with an intense headache that did not respond to any pain medication. Then there was muscle pain all over my body that lasted for 3 days. The muscles felt like they were too tight. A dry, tickling cough should accompany the entire course.
Her homeopathic treatment began on the 9th day, she had fever and frost, alternating between days, accompanied by extreme weakness, as well as the typical loss of smell and taste with an up and down of hope for improvement and further aggravation.
At the beginning of the homeopathic treatment she did not have a fever in the morning, but she was very weak and bathed in sweat, so that she could hardly get up because of the leaching and weakness. Circulatory problems with dizziness, nausea and abdominal pain had now been added.
Therapy with Radium bromatum 200 began at noon. In a water solution, 2 teaspoons of the drug was administered every 2 hours.
Course, result
In the afternoon there was a severe aggravation, fever, weakness and sweating became violent again. Then she went to sleep in the evening and slept soundly and deeply all night. The days before she slept only superficially and it was more of a doze. When she woke up in the morning she felt fresher. She got up and went into the bathroom, but suddenly she felt dizzy and her circulation broke down, she could just sit down so as not to fall any deeper. After a few seconds she woke up again. By noon, her entire condition went up steeply, so that after 24 hours she was already feeling over 50% better. In the next 3 days the improvement increased to 80%.
Her husband (case 27) was also treated with radium bromatum and felt significantly better after just one day.
Patient, 62 years old (case 14)The patient has been suffering from Covid 19 for 2 days. The disease began with a sore throat, a dry cough and severe, pressing muscle pain all over the body. The patient felt intense pain in the forehead and neck area, as well as in the lumbar spine area, where the complaints were burning.
The patient has a high fever (39.8 ° C) and frost alternately in the evening and at night. The loss of smell and taste typical of Covid 19 is also part of the symptoms. She has no shortness of breath.
The patient is extremely weak, she can only lie down. She is apathetic, hopeless and desperate.
analysis
The classic symptoms for Covid 19 are present
Result
After 6 hours of hourly consumption, an abrupt change occurs, the patient suddenly feels 50% better, fresher, more confident, more optimistic, the fever has subsided and she only feels a slight heat, from this point on the frost does not return. The patient recovers very well over the next few days, so that the medication is discontinued after 4 days of intake. The sense of smell and taste slowly returned within 3 weeks.
Patient, 35 years old (case 2)The patient has been suffering from Covid 19 for 3 days with alternating fever and frost, half-hourly chills attacks with cold sweat alternate with fever, which is worst in the morning. At the same time, the patient is plagued by severe pain in the limbs, headaches, and pain in the neck and lumbar region on the sides. A dry cough accompanies the symptoms. The sense of smell and taste have been lost.
analysis
• Alternating fever and frost
• Cold sweat
• Severe body aches, headaches, back pain
• Lost sense of smell and taste
Result
As early as the next day, when the treatment began in the evening, the patient had a significant change in symptoms: he described the pain in the limbs as much better, he only had neck pain that extended into the back of the head. Fever and chills no longer occurred. On the 2nd day after the start of the treatment, the sense of smell and taste comes back again. The patient is completely healthy within a few days.
Patient, 73 years old (case 24)She had been suffering from extreme nausea and deep coughing, great weakness, and painful grief for a week. She had been infected from her 99-year-old mother, who died from it 2 days before the patient started treatment.
Result
The nausea resolved within 24 hours, then a fever reaction of 39 ° C occurred, and despite the heat, she slept soundly all night. That was the breakthrough for further recovery within a week. It was noticeable in this and in another case that Radium bromatum can obviously also provide grief relief for relatives of those who died of Covid 19.
Group analysis for Covid 19 patients from 28 cases
The cases were divided into 3 groups:
Group 1 (7 patients): Severe courses with significant improvement in 6-24 hours, treated only with radium bromatum.
Group 2 (11 patients): Moderate courses, here too there was a noticeable improvement within 24 hours, but since the courses were milder, the improvement was not as astonishing as in group 1. Two patients (cases 15 and 7) with severe courses are also in this group, because although the disease was significantly improved by radium bromatum, severe dyspnoea in both cases could only be cured by the fungus Corprinus comatus. (Mushrooms are the herbal counterpart to the 7th row). Case 15 was so improved after 4 days of treatment with Rad-br that he ventured outside too early and suffered a relapse with the serious consequences of shortness of breath.
Group 3 (10 patients): Mild courses, the healing progressed steadily day after day without any great visible twists and turns, similar to a normal cold, although here, too, especially when pain was present, it also improved quickly.
Tabl;leFollow-up from Radium bromatum at Covid 19
Coprinus comatus / Tuberculinum:• Case 7 had shortness of breath with fear and panic of suffocating, Rad-bromine improved the fear and the other symptoms in a short time, but the shortness of breath itself persisted. Coprinus comatus healed the shortness of breath.
• Case 6 spent 2 nights sitting in bed because of shortness of breath after Radium bromatum had alternated between fever and frost, relieved his joint pain, headache and weakness. The following night the patient was symptom-free after Coprinus comatus. A persistent cough could be cured with Tuberculinum.
Coprinus comatus (Schopftintling) shows in the signature the surprising and fast decay within a very short time. A beautiful white mushroom that dissolves into black droplets within days. Spastic bronchitis, shortness of breath, pressure on the chest, feeling of a burden on the chest, feeling that the diaphragm is frozen, irritable cough, are clinical experiences and test symptoms of your own. (Barthel, A., Mushrooms in Homeopathy and Naturopathy, Kulmbach 2018, p. 223)
Natrum muriaticum• Case 3 was treated with Nat-m because of her feeling of nausea at the end of the acute phase after treatment with Rad-bromine. The patient's craving for bread and butter was leading.
• Case 4 got her sense of taste and smell back at the end of the acute phase after Rad-brom with Nat-m. The heaviness on the chest also eased, there was a craving for salt.
Haliaeetus leucocephalus• Case 17 improved significantly for 2 days on Radium bromatum, then suffered another relapse with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Because of her great fear of becoming seriously ill and no longer being able to care for her disabled son (case 16), the bald eagle, Hal-lc, (loving care and care of a loved one, symbol for nature conservation) was successfully prescribed.
Bryonia appears more often in recommendations as a drug for the pandemic. Bryonia is again and again classified in stage 2, in the typhoid miasm. No personal experience.
AntidotesRhus toxicodendron is an antidoped agent according to Clarke Radbrom.
Carcinosinum was the antidote in our test for an examiner who developed finger joint problems that did not go away after the test.
Potency and frequency of intake
• Potency: 200 and 1000 were used. In those cases in which a 1000 was prescribed from the start, the healing process seemed to be faster. In one case (case 18) the C30 was administered because it was only accessible to the patient. There was no improvement for days. The C 200 brought the turning point within a day.
• Frequency: In more extreme cases, an hourly intake of the drug, dissolved in water, was prescribed on the first day, in the following days usually a 2-hour intake was ordered, but at least 5 times a day 2 teaspoons.
Brief case report on fear, panic and stress all around Covid 19
In all cases where patients were afraid of Covid 19, Radium bromatum has been an extremely reliable cure. It also helped the patients who felt stressed and built up internal resistance to the circumstances that Covid 19 was causing. This can be interpreted as a further indication of the miasmatic dimension of this remedy.
Patient, 65 years old, is afraid of Covid 19 with insomnia. She wakes up again and again at night from a nightmare: She lies under an oxygen tent, wired with tubes. With every person she sees, she is afraid that they might have corona. When the patient came back for treatment a week later - she actually came for shoulder arm syndrome - when asked about her fear, she was amazed to find that she had completely forgotten it. (F1666)
Patient, 62 years old, she is in shock because her husband is in the hospital because of Covid 19. A pressure on the chest, a feeling like a stone in the stomach accompany the condition. She herself tested negative. When her husband dies of Covid 19, Ignatia is prescribed for 2 days in the acute phase. Then again Radium bromatum.
Patient, 65 years old, wakes up at night with fear of suffocation due to fear of Covid 19. She is desperate, Covid 19 makes her whole life seem like dead. Her nocturnal panic attacks stop suffocating, she can take everything more easily again, and her chronic stomach complaints also improve. (F248)
Patient, 44 years old, she is afraid of Covid 19, she disinfects everything, shopping for everyday things makes her stressful, she is afraid of the circumstances and effects of this pandemic and feels as if it could be her own fault. She suffered from such severe headaches that led to a delirious state in which she just lay around. After getting worse the same day, she thought she had to go to hospital, everything will be fine the next day. (F1228)
Patient, 34 years old, is afraid of Covid 19, her father is terrified of it and tortures the whole family with his precautionary measures. She feels completely overwhelmed and suffers from tension in her shoulder blades with heaviness in her arms. The fear disappears and she dares to go back to work (F4617)
Patient 59 years old, she has only been following the pandemic in China for weeks before the disease really broke out here in Germany. She already simulates symptoms and feels shortness of breath, a pressure behind the breastbone and is already starting to see pneumonia inside. A short time later, she can breathe better. the pressure in the chest at night no longer occurs, her fear subsides (F970)
Patient, she suffers from fear of Covid 19. At the same time, her extended family is deeply divided because of a great disappointment and the ensuing argument. She feels left out. She suffers from restlessness, internal tremors, and numbness such as numbness of the face and a feeling of being unable to speak properly. (F2919)
Patient (case 10), her chronic joint problems healed after the treatment of Covid 19 with radium bromatum.
