Kalium phosphoricum Anhang

 

[Martin Straube]

Kalium kommt immer in Salzen vor, hier als Kalium phosphoricum, dem Salz mit der Phosphorsäure.

Beide Substanzen spielen hier eine große Rolle: Kalium ist eine Basissubstanz des Lebens überhaupt.

Schon der Einzeller im Meer konzentriert in der Zelle Kalium wesentlich höher, als es im umgebenden Meerwasser enthalten ist und im Gegenzug enthält die Zelle wesentlich weniger Natrium, als es im kochsalzhaltigen Meerwasser vorkommt.

Der Aufbau dieses Konzentrationsgefälles ist eine Urgeste des Lebens überhaupt.

Alle Lebensvorgänge sind an Kalium gebunden!

In der Homöopathie sind alle Kaliumsalze Arzneimittel bei der Erschöpfung, denn in der Erschöpfung erlahmen unsere Lebensvorgänge!

Phosphor ist der Em nergieträger in allen Lebensvorgängen.

Was an Energie entsteht, wird als Phosphorverbindung „gespeichert“, statt als Wärme den Organismus zu überwärmen. Phosphor leuchtet im Dunklen (= „phosphoriszieren“).

Wärme, Licht und Energie sind die Qualitäten, mit denen Phosphor umgeht.

Genauso, wie das Kalium mit dem „Leben“ verbunden ist, so ist es der Phosphor, der die Wirkung des „Ich“ im geistigen, seelischen, aber auch leiblichen vermittelt.

Im Kalium phosphoricum kommen -homöopathisch betrachtet- zwei widersprüchliche Welten zusammen:

Der Phosphortyp ist kreativ, unstet, sehr empfindlich, dünnhäutig: körperlich, wie psychisch.

Er kann sich nicht abgrenzen, leidet unter mangelnder Leistungsfähigkeit, Leistungsdruck, Versagen, Nervosität, wachsende Unsicherheit und Angst vor immer geringeren Anforderungen.

Wenn beide zusammenkommen, entsteht eine schwierige Konstitution:

Der Phosphoranteil nimmt überempfindlich lauter Anreize wahr, auf die er nicht reagieren kann, weil der Kaliumanteil zu unflexibel ist.

Der betreffende kann sich aber gegen den so empfundenen Leistungsdruck nicht abgrenzen.

Er wird, wenn er sich beobachtet fühlt, leistungsunfähig (Phosphor stört Kalium).

Sein Pflichtgefühl hindert die Kreativität (Kalium stört Phosphor).

Der Konflikt zwischen Anforderung (P) und Leistungsfähigkeit (K) wird auch dann empfunden, wenn es nicht berechtigt ist. Er kann keine zwei Dinge gleichzeitig tun.

Diese Widersprüchlichkeit erinnert an die zweite Stressphase, das sich völlig gegenseitig behindern beider Qualitäten aber auch an die dritte Phase.

 

[Dr. Ajit Singh]

Roger Morrison: the Kalis are fantastic remedies for making bits and pieces of puzzles. Kali-p. is very underutilized, because it is hard to know exactly how to prescribe it.

There are not very many good keynotes for this remedy and yet it is very good for many cases of collapse; more often in mental collapse than in physical collapse.

This one of the prototype remedy in 'chronic fatigue syndrome' (or chronic fatigue immune-deficiency syndrome). And even in the (chronic fatigue) it does not cure,

many time Kali-p. will do a little bit of good at least. If the cause of the fatigue is mental exertion, it is a first hand remedy to be tried. ANXIETY + fearfulness often

a component of Kali-p.

Kali-p. is most misperceived and misused. The laymen have been prescribing this medicine in decimal potencies for almost all sorts of nervous and mental symptoms

with little benefit.

[J.T. Kent]

Described this and other tissue remedies in detail and has advised to explore the curable powers of these medicines if properly understood and prescribed strictly on homoeopathic

principles. I have many times used this medicine in potencies when indicated with desired results.

Kali-p. both acute and chronic remedy. In acute cases it bears repetition and in chronic cases single dose is the rule.

It is chilly; antipsoric and psoro-syphlitic. Thirsty. Polychrest.

[Sankaran]

Central feeling is, 'I am not loved by the very family (or group) on whom I depend for support'. These feelings arise in a mother who is looking after children

all alone for a long time while the husband is away. She suffers nervous breakdown, i.e., aesthenic reactions. She becomes edgy and startles on least noise.

Another such situation may arise in a businessman who feels that he is not being supported by his partners and has been left to face all the odds alone.
