Sphagnum palustre
Year 2020, Issue 2, Article 2CaseAuthor: Heinz Wittwer
Case by Heinz WittwerA 60-year-old woman asks me in writing for an anamnesis because she received a crushing CT result yesterday. I know her from my school days and got along quite well with her at the time. She writes that she would have wanted to consult me for many years, but didn't dare to ask, as I was certainly very busy. But now her situation is so bad that she wrote me. She enclosed a CT examination report with the letter, which speaks of "a high degree of suspicion of probably bilateral ovarian carcinoma with a complicated ovarian space requirement measuring up to 16 cm".
The next day the former schoolmate sits in front of me and tells me that she has been suffering from nausea for a long time and has lost a lot of weight. The physiotherapist, with whom she was being treated for her back pain, had sent her to a doctor. The doctor registered her for a computer tomography based on his ultrasound examination.
The patient is an only child. Her mother lost one child each before and after birth. But it could also have been abortions. However, she herself was a desired child. Her mother is a mountain girl. She chose her father from two admirers and married him. Her parents refused to marry for religious reasons. The father was a tinkerer and inventor, a wonderful person, as the patient thinks. He inherited a factory together with his brother and then made an invention. Later his brother kicked him out and got rich with his invention, while his father emigrated to France and remained poor throughout his life. Her mother was completely helpless and insecure during her pregnancy. She felt alien and isolated in France.
During childhood, the mother took little care of the patient. She says she has always been alone since she was able to walk. At the age of five, she loved to hang out in a nearby nature reserve. When she had to move to Switzerland at the age of 10, it was therefore a shock. She never played with dolls, but rather helped her father to screw on his car or motorcycle. He "put her on her own feet" by giving her a "Töffli" at the age of 14. At the age of 15 she travelled alone to Rome.
The patient's father died shortly after she came of age. Her mother emigrated to Canada a few years later. The patient studied in France, but this is not recognized in Switzerland. If she wanted to practise her profession in France, she would have to surrender her Swiss passport, "the only piece of home she still had left". She has struggled her way through life with various jobs such as kiosk saleswoman or warehouse clerk. Once she tried to complete several years of training in Switzerland. But shortly before her graduation she fell in love and "broke off all tents". If she is in love, then she is on fire, then there is nothing else for her. She then immediately wants to move in with this man. But all her partners have exploited her emotionally and financially. When she moves out again, she lacks a place of her own. Then she puts her belongings somewhere, moves from place to place and lives on campsites. "I must have been a gypsy in a previous life," she says laughing. "I'd love to have a covered wagon like in the Wild West. On campsites she feels free and good. But soon money worries come and she eats badly and becomes lean. Once, at the onset of winter, she travelled to Canada to visit her mother, where she was fed again for four months.
She often had jobs where she had to lift heavy loads. As a result, she sometimes had such severe back pain that she would have wanted to die. Again and again she had to resort to therapies. After all, her back was so bad that she could no longer work. She had to fight for a long time until her partial disability was recognised. Thanks to her pension and supplementary benefits, she no longer needs to work because she can manage with very little money.Nuphar luteum LM1 (621.11.06) (has request for anamnesis on a water lily map
written + I had the medicine in stock)Follow-upafter 1 week: - 8-hour op. well survived; tumor was benign (cystadenoma!!!)
after 2 months: - felt good under Nuphar luteum
→ Sphagnum pallustre C200 (333.????) every 2 weeks
(Moss, in which in the exams no anger and aggression has surfaced)After 4 months: - "a lot has happened; the remedy has done me very good"
- after 4 or 5 days suddenly "the heart opened":
always used to believe that people wanted their bad things
suddenly realized that people meant well with her.
- started eating meat; tried all kinds of meat:
Organic beef fillet tastes best to her!
- together with friends she disposed of all the energetic bits and pieces in her apartment.
→ can breathe again in her apartment
- is more open to do things together with another person
- has severe tension headaches when the weather changes
- sometimes has dizziness like beforeAfter 6 months: - it goes "super"; is calmer, more relaxed (took globules every 2 weeks)
- goes new to fitness, sometimes goes to the cinema alone
- freezes less, screwed down the thermostat in her apartment.
- is looking forward to summer; has always been looking forward to autumn in the past, because one
can then wrap himself in thick sweatersAfter 9 months: - before 2 months suddenly the idea to take root: wants to stay in her apartment!
has ordered a wardrobe (made to measure from wild cherry wood!!)
everything has to fit in perfectly, because her apartment is very small.
(has hung 30 y long clothes on curtain rails or nails in the wall)
- cleans up chaos; combs their paper bumps.
"scan "t everything she wants to keep, throw away the paper butt
- Roger Federer wants to see; has bought a ticket for Basel
- has beautiful encounters; has taken part in a guided tour through the forest
- has attended workshop for women "Out of fear, into life"
- a massage takes place once a month
- much less KS at hairdryer than before
