Comparison Banis-p + Phos + Lach. + Cann-i. + Anh. + Med.
Phos:
This remedy displays the lassitude at times, plus the clairvoyant
abilities and sensitivity to all external impressions. But it does not have the
profound intensity that ayahuasca displays. The
lassitude of phosphorus comes from a constant diffusion outwards in a form
which is connected to compassion, but at the same time the phosphene
patient will tire easily of such constant stimulation, while the new remedy
goes into a state of deep exhaustion.
Lachesis:
This remedy has symptoms of clairvoyance and delusions of being taken
over by supernatural forces, plus an intensity that gives the symptoms an edge
so competitive, and centred in a deluded
egotism that verges on megalomania with its concomitant suspiciousness
and desire for vengeance. So that Lachesis is
fundamentally a remedy centred around competition with other individuals and
does not lead to insights which revolves around more existential states.
Cannabis indica:
Here the person becomes sensitive to all external impressions; can be
clairvoyant and deluded about his state: seeing things as more beautiful,
colours more brightly; and music louder and more vibrant. He also laughs a lot
and creates fantasies out of ordinary things. But this remedy lacks that
intense grief or weariness that Ayahuasca can produce
that seems to realign an individual with his creative side.
Anhalonium:
Is by far the closest equivalent in its symptomatology
to Ayahuasca, and is also a remedy used by S.
American shamans in their pursuit for altered states of consciousness.
According to R. Sankaran it is for people that seek
ultimate spiritual experience and are searching for an out of the world
experience. In the Synoptic Materia Medica,
F. Vermeulen describes "an increased
involvement in the inner life to the exclusion of the outer. It is also
associated with audio visual hallucinations and coloured visions,
a sensation of being carried by music and a confusion as to his
identity. In summation it has many similar symptoms to ayahuasca,
though my own opinion is that one would use anhalonium
in cases of psychiatric deterioration, while ayahuasca
would tend to be a remedy used for reestablishing a
sense of purpose.
Medorrhinum:
This nosode is similar to ayahuasca
in its extreme mood swings, and states of exhaustion and clairvoyance, but it
is different in its apparent egotism leading to cruelty and lack of connection
to those around . Although it can be sensitive at times the underlying theme of
medorrhinum is great instability leading to a state
of sycosis where insight is lost. Whilst medorrhinum might lead to a diminuition
in the state of sycosis, its main activity is towards
equilibrium, while ayahuasca has a more teleological
function in so far that it may transform a situation from the depth of the
insight obtained in the action of the remedy
