Terbium muriaticum
Year 2026, Issue 2, Article 9CaseAuthor: Alex Leupen
Christine is 56 and developed an autoimmune eye disease eight years ago, with the ophthalmologist saying it could lead to blindness, a big emotional shock for her. I know her as a hardworking, sensitive and creative woman, she has a daughter from her first marriage. Her daughter has type 1 diabetes from a young age with insulin use, her daughter gives her a lot of stress because she often does not follow medical prescriptions. Christine uses methotrexate for autoimmune disease leading to fatigue and liver function disorders, which respond well to Chelidonium 12K, 2 granules daily. Chelidonium is a Papaver and related to Opium, the reasons for prescribing it for her is the liver strain and the major emotional shock of impending blindness. Fatigue and liver functions improve with Chelidonium. However, her vision continues to deteriorate slowly.AnalysisSecond prescription: Terbium muriaticum 30K, 2 granules per week. This is a compound from the Lanthanide series, stage 11. The autoimmune disease fits a Lanthanide. She has felt very responsible for her daughter all her life, this fits stage 11, compare with Aurum from the Gold series. The Muriaticum component fits the mother-daughter dynamic according to Jan Scholten.Follow upWe are now years on, I saw her yesterday, her vision is even slowly improving again and the methotrexate is slowly being tapered off. The ophthalmologists are very pleased and also amazed.
