Totes Meer (Yam-Ha)
[Natasha Wallace]
Mental and emotional themes.
Anxiety
Mostly causeless,
“Feeling really excited and anxious, not sure why“. When a cause was identified
it was menial. The feeling was intense and physical manifestation
prominent, “Feel very nervous not only mentally
but physically“. Anxiety felt as “Butterflies in my stomach”. “an uneasy
feeling in my stomach” and “a knot in my
stomach“.
A strong sensation of “Too much unstable energy
building up in my solar plexus then moves up and culminates in my cheek bones
which makes me feel like I want
to cry and in my TMJ like I am blushing
uncontrollably. It is almost unbearable and I have to look away“.
Relaxed and Calm
This was followed by a period of mental calmness. Provers felt “very
relaxed and at peace all day”. There were, “Strange feelings of calm
resolution“. Provers tended to take everything in their stride during this
period “Happy to just go with the flow“. “My mind is so calm and peaceful,
really enjoying just being. Nothing seems worry me“.
Poor Concentration
Featured very
prominently and was experienced by 61% of the provers. The lack of
concentration < a tendency for daydreaming and “losing my train of thought”.
This lead to an inability to study as well as a
difficulty in focusing and taking in information. Provers couldn’t “get into
the right frame of mind to do constructive
Work and the attention span was so shortened
that they “Can’t sit for more than 30 min. before having to get up and move
around” and “Can’t kick my head into
gear”. This lead to study time being
inefficient, “Very aware of the fact I have limited time but am working very
slowly”. Accompanying this was mental exhaustion
Indifference
Acted as fuel for a
complete lack of motivation for academic work. “Couldn’t make myself do any
work today”, “Really need someone to slap me and tell me
to wake up to the fact
that I have an enormous amount of work and pressure at the moment but I’m just
messing around”. A tendency towards procrastination and
watching television instead of working, despite
approaching deadlines
This theme was further emphasized in a lack of
motivation to do anything, “Don’t feel like eating breakfast; just don’t have
the motivation to even make oats“.
“Don’t feel like doing anything today”. “Just
want to sit around and do nothing, no thinking involved, everything and I mean
everything is becoming an intense
effort“.
Despite the lack of
concentration and motivation, provers were notably unconcerned about
approaching deadlines or tests, “should be learning but just don’t care”.
“I have a lot of work but don’t want to do it.
Watch movie instead, not stressed about not working“. This indifference was
more pronounced in some,
“I don’t care about anything, can’t even make
up my mind about what I want to eat, I just don’t care”.
Irritability and Frustration
Very prominent theme
affecting 78% of the provers with very high intensity in most provers. “Very
irritated with everyone, to the point of wanting to scream”.
“My blood is boiling and I just cannot shake
it!!!!”, “Oooooooooooooh am very irate, feels like the walls are closing in on
me. My ears are ringing, my face hurts,
my chest hurts“. This level of frustration was accompanied by
violent thoughts and impulses, “Getting highly irritated again, feel like
smashing someone’s head in”
“Irritable with lady in front of me at the
movies. Wanted to rip her head off. Then the girl next to me for slurping, then
the guy who pushed in front of us“.
“Extreme irritability. Wanna KILL”, as well as
cursing, “I am getting super duper, ultra god damn, fucking pathetically
irritated and frustrated with this situation.
I feel like smashing everyone’s head in
including my own. Just not able to manage thing at the moment, don’t even have
the strength for a wank to possibly calm me
down. Even feel like ripping this book apart.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHH”. Most of the irritability and frustration was
felt towards other
people with a portion being attributed to
menial things such as, “The slightest breeze irritates me”, “Waiting is
irritating me”, “Had breakfast with my granny and
found myself getting really irritated by little
things like leaving the fridge open for too long”, “Feeling annoyed at writing
in the journal, feel like I have a lot of
other things to do that is more important than
doing this as a favour to a friend“. Most of the frustration was felt in the
mornings, and weaned off as the day
progressed,
A thread that runs through the remedy includes
symptoms revolving around the female reproductive system and can be seen here
as, “I have been very snappy,
I’s like I have PMS”. An interesting symptom
that came up was, “The language and culture barrier was really driving me mad”.
This is very pertinent to the
geographical location of the Dead Sea, being
located between
Emotionally overwhelmed and crying
Provers felt completely
overwhelmed emotionally, leaving the prover in tears at the slightest
provocation. “Feeling really emotional, crying for all sorts of things
that usually wouldn’t
effect me”, “Very teary today, I have cried 3x for things I wouldn’t usually
get upset about. Cried after getting a test back and after watching
Oprah, episode about
starving kids”, “Just walked into spar and started crying. Crying for little
things”, “By 13:30 h. I was crying uncontrollably. A small incident
made me feel overwhelmed
and I felt like I couldn’t cope. I became dizzy and lost control of my emotions“.
There was also a marked desire to cry accompanied by
an aversion to company,
“Felt really emotional, went and had some wine and cried for 6 hours, just
wanted to be alone“. “Feel completely emotionally drained,
couldn’t wait for the day
to end. Built up throughout the day and eventually just felt like I needed to
sit down and have a good cry and be alone”.
Depression and Hopelessness versus Mania
This, together with
frustration and irritability, was notably the most pertinent mental theme. The depression
was felt as a deep sense of hopelessness that no one
could understand,
“Feeling frustrated and alone. Just want to cry, I’m crying pulling at my hair
and rocking back and forth. I just feel like I’m in a hopeless situation
and I just can’t fix
it. No one understands“. “Hopeless feeling. I don’t feel I can cure the
situation. Whatever it is”. This was accompanied by a great sense of self
pity,
There were thoughts of “ending
it all. Just plotting the ways”, “perhaps death would have been easier than
dealing with this shit life”.
The depression was also described as, “a dark
blanket has settled upon me. I feel hopeless like there is no light left in the
world“. “black clouds”, “feeling blue”
“I have no interest in this day. Feel like I am
spiraling fast into a deep sea of depression“.
Depression was a central theme in the remedy
and was felt deeply/described as being engulfed by darkness as if there was “no
light left in the world” and they were
“spiralling into a deep sea of depression”.
There was a sense of hopelessness and loneliness in a situation that they had
to “cure” + a strong sense of self
pity. During this phase provers withdrew and
wanted to be alone as they felt alone in a world where no one understands their
plight.
This loneliness was described as “pangs that
came over me like waves”. There was a sense of being emotionally overwhelmed
which left the provers in tears at the
slightest provocation. These crying spells
lasted between 40 min and 6 hours at a time. There was a sensation of being
trapped accompanied by a need to escape to a
place of freedom.
The depth of the depression was such that
suicide was contemplated # a manic phase in which provers experienced an
exaggerated sense of self belief and
confidence, feeling “superhuman”. Provers felt
suddenly euphoric, bubbly, carefree and silly. There was a tendency to put on
some kind of performance, such as
singing, dancing, jumping up and down,
laughing, shouting and “running around like a crazy person”, for an audience
after which there was a feeling of fullfillment.
This phase induced high energy levels and a
happy and joyful disposition. Inspiration and love of everything was a strong
result. This phase was accompanied by a
rebellious spontaneity during which one prover stood
in front of a mirror and pierced her own tongue. Within a day of handing in her
diary she promptly removed it
and has as yet not thought about it again.
These states alternated in quick succession.
Loneliness and Isolation
There was a pull in two
directions in this theme. A strong aversion to company when depressed and sad,
yet there was a need for someone to understand what they
were going through. “I
just wanted to be alone“. “I feel very quiet and withdrawn, just want to be
alone”, “Hiding in my room, “go away and LEAVE ME ALONE”,
“Don’t want to speak to anyone, feeling sad and
lonely and tired”. Contradicted by, “Felt pangs of loneliness that came over me
like waves even though I wasn’t
alone“.
“feeling a sense of loneliness – poor me.
Nobody understands“. I feel isolated with where I am in my stage of life“.
Needing Affection
In contradiction to the
aversion to company when depressed or crying, there was a need for affection;
“Feel an intense need to receive affection – became needy
and clingy“. “Feeling
good, a bit clingy – just want to hold my partner“.
Manic
The deep depression was
antithesised by a manic phase. These two phases tended to occur in quick
succession of one another and gave a bipolar impression.
There was a definite rise in self belief and
confidence, together with a feeling that “, I can attack anything that today
brings” During this phase provers developed a
sense of having, “some sort of superhuman
power“. as well as “ Feeling strangely empowered and good about myself“. This
was often accompanied by a tendency or
desire to put on a performance of some kind
such as, “Jumped up and down my room doing ballet”, “Feeling very bubbly and
happy with life, pulled pants up to
under breasts and ran around like a crazy
person laughing and shouting“. “So energized, so happy from teaching. It’s like giving a performance. I feel
so fulfilled
afterwards”
Happiness
On a lighter scale of
intensity was the theme of happiness. This involved “Feeling unusually chirpy”,
“in such an awesome mood. Happy and carefree”.
There was a recognition of positive energy. Eg.
“Have a sensation that I am surrounded by a positive energy”, “Feel so happy
with my little niece and nephew their
energies make me feel so rejuvenated, such
innocence is a true breath of fresh air”, “I feel very energized and positive“.
Provers were generally in a good mood,
happy, bright and inspired during this phase.
Rebellion
This may be attributed
to the manic phase of feeling superhuman and above the laws of normality.
“Really want to get a tattoo. The thought has briefly crossed my
mind before, but now I
really want it. Going to hold off till after proving. I think it’s the remedy”,
“I had a sudden urge to pierce my tongue. So I stood in front of the
mirror and did it
myself“. Interesting the day this prover handed in her diary she stood in front
of the mirror and removed the piercing. A general feeling of being
“very spontaneous”.
Mood Swings
Manic, happy and
depression phases alternated within each prover with quick succession. This was
also noted by various provers in their journals, “Euphoria ,
now exhaustion, when will the rollercoaster
end?” “Felt a bit down, but in the afternoon had a sudden flip in mood where I
felt silly and happy“. “Mood swings up
and down, very erratic”. The state can be
summarized as, “My mind seems to be getting back on track. The problem is my
ability to trust this state of stability.
Why do I not relish in the state of normality.
Have I just become to used to the manic swings of moods my mind is currently
going through?” “I have contradicting
feelings today: feel confident and good about
myself yet I feel like the most terrible person to have ever walked the planet.
Not sure what to make of it. So I go back
to cruise-and-don’t think about it mode“.
Escapism
There was a sense of
being “trapped and NEED to get away” within this remedy. “Feeling like I have
to break out of this house aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh”.
Also “a strange feeling of needing freedom”
Empty and Neutral
When the emotions were
not flying from one extreme to another there was a period of neutrality and an
“Even and mild mood, no specific feelings, a bit numb“.
Emptiness was also experienced > by company.
Clear Mind
Self Actualization
Strongly in two
provers. Both had a “Sudden feeling that I really need to re-evaluate my life.
I need to take a step back and sort out my true desires and needs,
my true dreams, my true talents and how I can
use them to my best ability to benefit both me and those around me. It feels
like I have a lot on my mind, and I am
taking time out to think about it”. Both
provers woke up between 3 h. and 4 h. on the same morning, and wrote an essay
on where they are in their lives at this
present moment, where they want to be in the
future and a plan on how they were going to get there. Both included self
growth and self evaluation as well as a higher
connection to humanity and life. In one of the essays
the prover wants to “start a meditation circle for peace in the middle east”.
Another prover felt that his mind
was, “Open and a lot of thoughts and ideas going through my head,
including relationship, future plans and finances“. In accordance with this
theme provers felt a clarity of mind. The mind felt “Open and fresh”and “very
clear”
Spaced out and Floating
Feeling of
being spaced out and floating was prominent. This theme was also expressed as,
“Time has slowed down, in a haze”, “Feel like I’m gliding when
walking”, “A
sense of being out of it, mind is fuzzy” and “Drowsy, phased out feeling“.
Drugged
Feeling of being
drugged was experienced in several ways. Visual disturbances such as, “Eyes are
not coordinated with my mind. I see objects but it takes time to
register what it is“.
“Eyes are flitting between scenes, like either my mind or my eyes are too slow
to co-ordinate. Like I’m on a hallucinogen”, “Vision and mind are
unattached. Takes a
long time to focus on an object”, I had a weird experience with my rear view
mirror. When I got into the car I didn’t have a clear view it was as
if someone had moved it
but it hadn’t moved. No matter how I adjusted it I couldn’t get I clear view.
My reflection was distorted if I touched my nose in the mirror it
looked like I was touching
my chin. It was very confusing“. “Feel like I’m coming off an acid trip. Seeing
flashes of everything. Can’t keep my eyes steady on one
thing. Notice every
time
I move my eyes. Focus focus focus!!!” There was
also a feeling of being “tripped out”, and “Spaced out feeling very intense,
feel like I’m on really strong pain
killers.
All drugged up“. An unusual reaction to alcohol
was noted, “Felt drugged, couldn’t remember much, eyes were dilated. I was very
aggressive”, “Instead of feeling
energized before sleepy, I went straight to sleepy“. Alcohol tolerance was decreased, “My alcohol
tolerance is so low, I feel tipsy after just one sip and my cheeks
flush“.
Detached
Detachment ran through
the whole remedy and will be discussed as a theme later on. In the mind it was
depicted as “Feel strangely detached from a decision I made
– like it was a head decision more than a heart
decision. Then why don’t I feel right about it? Don’t think, just cruise.
Giving myself an emotional holiday. Keeping
up pretences and smiling for the outsiders“,
“Feel detached as if not part of anything at all”, “Not concerned about
anything at all, feel like I am watching myself,
but not quite”.
The experience was so profound in some that he
“Woke up with no idea where I was, who I was and what I was doing. It was like
I had been somewhere completely
different… astral travelling?” and it “feels
like someone has put a hook into my scalp and is pulling me out of my world”.
The last symptom was profound when
related to the substance. As if she was a fish
that had been hooked and pulled out of the sea, her “world”.
Intuition
Intuition was notably
more developed during the proving, “Intuition has been unbelievable. I can
predict statements and events with phenomenal accuracy”
Premonitions were also noted, “I pictured
myself in a silver/grey car, love that colour. Just then my mom phoned me to
tell me I can have her silver corsa”.
Discrimination and Lack of Faith in Humanity
This theme is
controversial and I apologize, but I feel it imperative to include it due to
its relevance to the substance. There was a sense of anti Semitism noted in the
remedy. The reasoning
was that Jewish men, in particular were weak. This is a very unusual reasoning.
This information was only elicited in the interviews as
provers were afraid of
being controversial. When questioned further it was revealed that there was a
sense of injustice befalling the Jewish people and that they were
doing very little to defend
their honour and respect. “they need to stand up to
as well as “questioning
people’s deeds and motives and general attitude“.
Discrimination and Violence
This theme is controversial but pertinent to
the substance. There was anti-Semitism noted during the proving. The reasoning
was that the Jewish men were weak
because Jews are being targeted and aren’t
defending themselves adequately. There was also a heightened sensitivity to
language and culture barriers. It became
evident in the dreams where provers dreamt of
the three major religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism in which Judaism was
patronized and the prover rose to its
defense.
There were dreams of war in arid areas as well
as of the Taliban. A theme in the dreams was of territorial destruction and
land reclaims. Being attacked by wild
animals and people was common.
Paranoia
1.
fear
for personal safety. “Tried to get to sleep but I kept hearing noises and I was
paranoid“. “I walked around my house
because I got paranoid that someone was inside“.
2.
fear
for the safety of loved ones, family and friends. “Worried about friends,
family, patients – very acutely – was in tears about one of my friends
problems“.
3.
Most
profound was the fear of symptoms indicating a terminal disease“. I am scared
that I have a terminal illness. Feels like the oxygen is just not getting into
my blood or is not being carried due to a blockage. I would imagine
chemotherapy or radiation therapy feeling like this I don’t know why. I just
want to lie down and close my eyes but I’m scared that if I do I won’t wake
up“. “Got scared after a coughing fit that left a great pain in my heart that I
was having a heart attack“. “Still dark stools, worried it might be something
terminal, going to see dr. again”, “My chest hurts, can’t get comfortable,
quite a worrying pain”, “My ears are ringing quite badly, should I be
worried?”.
Poor Memory
Ties in with the lack
of concentration. Short term memory was compromised, “Short term memory loss,
quite marked”. In one case memory and concentration was
greatly improved. “My
memory is much better than normal, I’m just flying through mental activities,
everything is just flowing”.
False Fronts
There was a tendency to put on a false front of happiness and to hide
their true feelings. “Keeping up pretences and smiling for the outsiders“.
“Cruising, getting very good at faking the fact that I’m actually crying
inside. But at least everybody around me is content and not noticing anything“.
“It feels like I am putting on a mosaic front for everyone. This irritated me
more“.
Isolation versus needing affection
There was a feeling of absolute loneliness
whether it was in the “stage of life” they were in or that the world doesn’t
understand their plight. This was dealt with in 2
ways. There was a tendency to isolate
themselves, hiding in their rooms, withdrawing and not wanting to talk to
anyone; and a yearning for attention and affection.
Spaced out/poor
concentration versus clarity of mind and self actualisation
The mind was clouded
leaving the provers with an inability to think or concentrate to any degree.
There was a difficulty focusing the mind as it would wander as
well as a complete lack
of motivation to do anything, “don’t have the motivation to even make oats”.
Provers felt spaced out as if they were just floating above
reality. Some even felt
as if they were drugged, like they were on a hallucinogen. This was experienced
visually with flashing lights and a sensation that the eyes
were not coordinated
with the mind as well as through a sympathetic response with dilated pupils and
increased skin sensitivity. The mind was detached from
decisions and events.
One prover had the sensation as if “someone has put a hook into my scalp and is
pulling me out of my world”.
Followed by a period of mental clarity where
the mind felt open and fresh. This theme was felt strongly in two sensitive
provers to encompass a morning of self
actualization.
Both provers woke up on the same morning between
3 – 4 h. and wrote an essay on where they are currently in their lives, where
they would like to be and how they
where going to get there. This included the
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes. Both included a plan for self
growth and self evaluation as well as a
higher connection to humanity. One prover
included the ambition of starting a meditation circle for peace in the
the proving.
An interesting dream that correlates with this
theme was experienced. The prover felt tremendous spiritual anguish and pain. Walked
into a small sea and swam
across it. When they emerged they felt
spiritually awoken and at peace.
Pace versus anxiety and paranoia
There was a distinct
paranoia during the proving. The most profound paranoia was of having a
terminal disease, but was also felt for the health and safety of the self
and loved ones. A
causeless anxiety was strong and was characterized by a build up of energy in
the solar plexus that moved upwards and culminated in the jaw
leading to clenching of
the jaws. This uneasy energy was also felt in the solar plexus. This was
counteracted by a feeling of peace and relaxation. During the phase
nothing worried the
provers and stress was completely absent.
Physicals:
There were polarities
regarding the modalities with provers being >/< stooping/standing
erect/warmth. There was either diarrhea or constipation. Pains moved from
r. to l.
Dehydration experienced in every system.
Headaches described as “dehydration” headaches. The skin and mucous membranes
were incredibly dry, so much so that
skin flaked and peeled off, eyes burned and the
tongue stuck to the roof of the mouth. Constipation was common with dry, small black
stool. Patients craved
water/thirst for water was greatly increased.
Urine was darker with a more pungent odour indicating that it was more
concentrated and one prover’s urine was
actually thick.
Fertility
interesting theme if one takes into account
that the
One prover dreamed of nursing someone else’s child and woke up with a sore
nipple. There were also dreams of artificial insemination. Provers generally
slept in a
foetal position. Symptoms of the female system
included ovarian pain and abdominal pain. There was a common sensation of
something alive being inside the
abdomen “like I honestly have a baby kicking inside of me“., “Like
something growing inside me”, “someone is poking me from the inside”, “moving
around in
my gut like a little creature”.
Premenstrual symptoms were experienced without being followed by a menstrual
period. There were hot flushes and tender breasts as
well as headaches that described as
premenstrual and lower back pain. Only two women menstruated during the
proving, but both noticed a significant change.
A brown bleed was bright red and a
red bleed became brown.
Provers were notably more amorous
and libido was significantly raised in both male and female provers resulting
in one prover stating that she had better stay
indoors.
Language
used was very interesting. Words such as flow
and floating were common as were descriptions of ailments coming on in waves.
The depression was described as
“spiraling into a deep sea of depression”.
There was a feeling of being in a haze, which is interesting as there is a
thick haze that hangs over the
Provers felt like they were “gliding when
walking”. Hearing was altered in regard to sound “As if muffled through water”.
Stinging pains were described “like I had
scratched myself and the salt was burning it”.
Provers described nocturnal perspiration as if
they were waking up in a “sea of sweat”. Flaking of the skin was described as
resembling dry salt, white lumps in the
sputum were described as pieces of course salt
and nasal discharge was described as salty.
Another theme was one of violence and emerged
not only during frustration, where provers wanted to “smash someone’s head”,
“to rip her head off”, “wanna kill”,
but in other areas as well. When unmotivated
provers wanted to “kick my head into gear” and wanted to “attack anything that
today brings” and “take on the day
with full fury“. referring to seizing opportunities.
In traffic one prover “overtook them like a savage“. A headache felt as if it
would explode if the head was moved.
Malarial miasm: a distinct feeling of being stuck in a situation that is
hopeless. They feel isolated as no one can understand the plight they are in.
The feeling of being stuck even surfaced
in the dreams. There were intermittent stages of depression and absolute
frustration # periods of mania and a sense of being very important with great
responsibility. There were also
intermittent attack of violent homicidal and suicidal thoughts. They are
lamenting and paranoid. Physical symptoms include rheuma, headaches, skin
complaints and complaints of the
respiratory system.
Due to the nature of a homoeopathic drug proving, only a mild form of
the disease will be experienced by the prover. The initial phases or mild forms
of the diseases treated by
Rheumatic disease
Osteoarthritis
Psoriasis
Vitiligo
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorders
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Articular Symptoms
Joint pain, swelling, inflammation and
progressive immobility govern the symptomatology. Joint pain < morning and
recurring towards the evening. Pain is
characterized by remissions and exacerbations.
Associated symptoms include redness, warmth and tenderness. Precipitating
factors include exercise and emotional
stress where as hot or cold sensitivities and
sunlight tend to alleviate symptoms. Pain due to active inflammation < after
rest and particularly painful in the morning. often > by exercise.
This pain is often experienced due to
structural abnormalities. Disease of the cervical spine will refer pain to the
shoulder, shoulder disease may present as arm pain,
lumber lesions may cause hip or thigh pain and
hip lesions may refer to the knee. Patients often experience early morning stiffness
and sporadic joint swelling as
well as loss of function of the joint or
decreased range of motion. Location is generally limited to the fingers but
joint involvement does progress to include other
joints.
Temporomandibular joint disease causes pain on
chewing and particularly restricts opening of the mouth.
Comparison with proving
symptomatology:
Articular Symptoms
Pain and stiffness was prevalent in
all the joints and muscles of the extremities Pain was dull and aching. “Slight
joint pain, aching, hot”. Pain was referred from the neck to the muscles of the
shoulder incl. the deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, levator scapulae and
inferior and superior to the clavicles. Hip pain radiated to the quadriceps
resulting in an aching sensation and weakness of the muscles.
Weakness was also felt in the arms
“Have to rest every 5 words because my arm and hand are tired”. Swelling and
inflammation of the joints was with accompanying
hyperaemia of the overlying skin
which was warm to the touch. The finger joints were mentioned in particular to
being stiff and painful causing spasmodic movements of
the thumbs.
There was a decreased range of
motion in most joints due to pain and stiffness (in the cervical region
experienced by 45% of the provers). Pain radiated to the muscles of the neck
causing stiffness and decreased range of motion.
Thoracic region similarly affected
but not as prominent while the lumber spine very much affected and daily
activity limited as a result of the pain and loss of range of motion.
The temporomandibular joint painful
and stiff. Tension in the jaw was increased with a mild pain in the masseter
muscles resulting in pain on opening the mouth and chewing.
Extra-articular Symptoms
Vasculitis in its mild form produces symptoms such
as numbness, tingling and burning. Symptoms are provoked by cold and small
changes in temperature.
Fingers most commonly affected. Pleurisy is
common and is characterized by sharp, knifelike pain and restricted rib
movement as well as obliterative bronchiolitis
which is characterized by acute onsets of
breathlessness. Symptoms < breathing/coughing/movement; > by lying on the
involved side.
Pericarditis characterized by sharp and
knifelike retrosternal pain (may radiate
to the tip of the shoulder and the neck) and <
breathing/movement/coughing/lying
down/swallowing; > sitting forward.
Episcleritis is characterized by low grade
discomfort, vessels appear pink and may be nodular causing painful, red, gritty
eyes as well as disturbances in vision.
Peripheral nerve involvement is not uncommon
and is characterized by hypersensitivy, hyposensitivity, numbness and tingling.
It initially affects the fingers and
toes and may progress to include the hands and
feet. Hoarseness of the voice occurs due to effusion into the cricoartenoid
joints.
Constitional symptoms such as fatigue, malaise
and muscle weakness are common.
Comparison with proving
symptomatology:
Extra-articular Symptoms
Many of the eye symptoms were
described as dry and burning “As if on fire” Eyes were very scratchy.
These symptoms mirror those of the
episcleritis that is common with rheumatic disorders.
Vasculitis and peripheral neuropathy
are both characterized by numbness and tingling and peripheral neuropathy has
the added sensation of hyper- or
hyposensitivity.
Both primarily affect the fingers.
The proving showed symptomatology of “supersensitive fingers” that
intermittently had pins and needles and tingling.
A burning retrosternal chest pain as
well as sharp, stabbing pain was reported. < any movement (coughing and deep
inspiration).
The chest pain > sleeping propped
up on pillows. This pain corresponds with the pain experienced with the pain
felt with pleurisy and pericarditis. Sleeps propped
up on pillows is a sign of cardiac
distress that may be experienced with prolonged pericarditis. Effusion into the
cricoartenoid joints results in hoarseness of the
voice. Painless hoarse voice was
reported during the proving.
Constitutional symptoms that are
experienced with rheumatoid arthritis include malaise and weakness. This was a
very strong theme in the proving of Yam ha-
Melach. Lethargy and extreme
tiredness was experienced by 72% of the provers. Provers felt lazy and mentally
and physically exhausted from doing nothing
Osteoarthritis
Joint pain is the primary symptom. < towards
the end of the day and is < activity. Pain > by rest. Joint pain variable
and intermittent and most commonly occurs in
the hips, knees and hands, cervical and lumber spine.
Small effusion of the joints may be present (knees). On examination joint are
red, warm and tender. Malfunction
of the joints gives limitation of mobility, instability and stiffness of the
joints as well as muscle weakness and pain. Stiffness is frequent, but brief in
the mornings and after inactivity with the
development of limitations of motion.
Comparison with proving
symptomatology:
Joint pain and stiffness was a
prominent symptom throughout the proving. The pain was dull and aching. Hips;
and knees were badly affected, “My hips and knees are so sore I can’t get up,
aching like I have arthritis”. Wrists were stiff and aching with a decreased of
range of motion. A decrease in joint stability with “knees feel wobbly” this
lead to clumsiness and an increased tendency to injury. Hip pain radiated to
the quadriceps resulting in an aching sensation and weakness of the muscles.
Weakness was felt in the arms “Have to rest
every 5 words because my arm and
hand = tired”. Weight bearing joints were affected. Pain and stiffness was <
walking and movement as well as early in the morning.
Pain and stiffness was also
experienced in the back. In the cervical region pain and stiffness was very
evident. Neck pain was associated with a burning pain in the muscles
The thoracic region was similarly affected but not as prominent while the
lumber spine was very much affected
The lower back had a sharp sensation
over L4 and L5 which became more diffuse radially. This is indicative of
osteoarthritis as the weight bearing, lumber spine
is often affected and the lower
lumber vertebrae are first to show signs of structural damage.
Psoriasis
The lesion is a sharply demarcated plaque with silvery scales that mask
the underlying redness caused by tortuous arteries that lie close to the
surface of the skin.
The skin is dry and cracking. The scales are due to a hyperproliferation
of the epidermal cells of the skin. The cells pass up through the epidermis and
do not have time to
keratinize. The edges of the lesion are most active often leaving a
clearing in the centre.
The parts most affected: elbows, knees and scalp. Psoriasis of the scalp
typically shows well demarcated, easily palpable areas, but occasionally shows
a diffuse, fine
scaling difficult to distinguish from classical seborrhoeic dermatitis.
Often lesions are atypical in both appearance and location at the onset of
psoriasis.
Guttate psoriasis: skin in appears to be splashed with psoriasis. This
type often follows a streptococcal throat or vaccination. The lesions are
scattered over the entire body
and are red and slightly scaly.
Nummular psoriasis: most common form and is characterized by symmetrical
disc shaped lesions that are well demarcated and chronic.
Erythrodermic psoriasis: skin red or scaly, most commonly red with very
little scaling. Temperature regulation becomes altered with hypothermia or
hyperthermia becoming a danger.
Pustular psoriasis: takes the form of small sterile pustules with an
erythematous base. Approximately 5-10% individuals with psoriasis appear to
have an inflammatory
polyarthritis.
Comparison with proving
symptomatology:
On the left side of the lower back there was an itchy patch that was
very dry and crusts came off under the nails when scratched. This becomes so
dry that it
exposed and raw and cracked “My skin looks whitish and cracked”. The
skin was incredibly dry with flaking of the skin in patches on the legs. arms
on the dorsal
aspect, face and the outer corners, and under the eyes and in spots all
over the body (10F:04:. This is not dissimilar to the description a patient
would give of their
psoriasis.
A very red, well demarcated patch of
skin under the r. eyebrow was almost raw as if the top layer of skin had flaked
off. There was a well demarcated hyperaemic
patch
on the anterior neck, this also occurred under the breasts where 6 small round,
red patches. These symptoms can be compared to erythrodermic psoriasis
where
skin is red and only slightly flaky. An eruption of patches of little red bumps
that were itchy and very dry were noted above the hips.
Itching of the scalp with white oily flakes and increased sensitivity,
“very painful when I brush over it”.
Patches on the back were itchy and rough to the touch and emitted pus on
scratching. Patches of tiny pustules with erythematous bases on the back and
arms on the
Hairline and on the chest.
Pustular psoriasis is characterized by patches of small pustules on an
erythematous base. The soles of the feet were dry and itchy as well as the palms.
There was a
hyperproliferation of skin on the feet with skinflaking off the toes.
Thermoregulation was altered. There was a feeling of incredible heatas well as
a feeling of being
much colder than usual. I am freezing and just want to wrap myself up in
warm blankets and sleep”. In erythrodermic psoriasis temperature regulation is
altered due
to the thinning of the skin. There is a danger of hypothermia
andhyperthermia.
Vitiligo
A common auto-immune disorder characterized by
a destruction of the melanocytes in the skin. It has been postulated that a
defect in calcium uptake of vitiligo
keratinocytes cause cell death which invokes an
auto-immune response leaving the affected skin completely depigmented. In
Caucasians the lesion may be
surrounded by an area of hyperpigmentation or
café au lait spots. Segmental vitiligo is restricted to one part of the body
whereas generalized vitiligo is symmetrical
and involves the hands, wrists, knees, neck as
well as around the body orifices. Sensation in the depigmented patch is normal,
the disease is purely cosmetic.
Comparison with proving
symptomatology:
Patches of hyperpigmented skin were noted during the proving. These
spots resembled sun spots on the hand. There were patches on the legs and the
neck. There was
no sensation to these patches. They seemed purely cosmetic.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorders
The initial symptoms consist of a productive
cough that usually follows a cold.
The coughing attacks become more frequent over
subsequent years until the cough is experienced all year round.
These patients are prone to respiratory
infections, breathlessness during exertion, regular morning cough and
occasional chest tightness. The sputum is scanty,
mucoid or tenacious and is occasionally
streaked with blood, but is dependent on the infection present.
Comparison with proving
symptomatology:
Coughing fits resulted in chest pain and wretching due to the tenacity
of the mucous, “balls of sticky phlegm are raised, slight salty taste and
sulphur-like odour”.
Fits very intense and hindered breathing “Woke up coughing, very
intense. I want to be antidoted now!”. Provers were unable to control the
couching fits with a
harsh, barking nature. Cough dry and become progressively more
productive followed flu like symptoms.
It was hypothesized that the proving of Yam ha-Melach C 30 would produce
clearly observable signs and symptoms in healthy individuals. This was
confirmed with Yam ha-Melach producing a wide range of prominent symptoms.
Depressive states that feel a sense of isolation and hopelessness in their
current situation were observed.
A feeling of spiritual dampening and an anxiety of not knowing who they
are or who they want to be or where they want to go in life. A very strong
symptom was one of absolute frustration. Other common symptoms included
lethargy, indifference, uncontrollable crying for long periods of time and
paranoia regarding their health and safety as well as the health and safety of
their loved ones.
Sleep was greatly affected leaving provers feeling tired and
unrefreshed. Symptoms of dehydration penetrated every system. There was drying
out of the skin and mucous membranes, dehydration headaches, constipation with
dark stools, strong smelling and coloured urine that appeared thick. Thirst was
drastically increased for water.
The female reproductive system was greatly affected with provers
experiencing hot flushes, hormonal headaches, breast tenderness, lower back
pain, lower abdominal pain, a sensation of a live thing inside the abdomen, irregularities
of the menstrual cycle and dreams of babies, infertility and artificial
insemination. Skin symptoms were very marked, with rashes and patches
resembling eczema and psoriasis as well as acne, pustules on erythmatous bases.
The skin was very dry in general and flaking and peeling of the skin was
marked. Arthritic joint and muscle pains were common.
Joints were swollen, inflamed, painful and stiff. Headaches were very
common amongst provers. Pain dull, diffuse, congested and foggy as well as
throbbing and clamping.
The temporal headaches were predominantly bitemporal radiating to the
vertex and ears and “centralizing between my eyes deep in my head“. Frontal
headaches tended to move across the forehead and temples and were usually one sided.
Influenza like symptoms were also experienced by many provers.
It was also hypothesized that the symptom picture generated in the
proving would correlate in some form to the existing indications of clinical
therapeutic use.
This was verified when strong symptoms resembling those of psoriasis,
vitiligo, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and rheumatoid and
osteoarthritis were prevalent.

Sal maris mortuis – Salz des Toten Meeres
Das Tote Meer ist so salzhaltig, dass Leben darin nicht existiert, so sind Tod und Sterben in diesem Mittel impliziert.
Badend im Toten Meer, ist der Auftrieb so hoch, dass der Badende nicht untergehen und ertrinken können, wir müssen oberflächlich bleiben, die Tiefe zu ergründen, ist nicht möglich.
Neurodermitiskranken tut es gut, im Toten Meer zu baden, und auch als Kügelchen sind trockene, rissige, aufspringende Haut die Hauptindikation für das Mittel. Wasch- und Räusperzwang sind Neurosen, die durch dieses Mittel geheilt werden können. DURST/verstopft./Stuhlentleerung nur mit Klistier möglich und Schilddrüsenerkrankungen sind weitere bewährte Anwendungsgebiete für dieses Mittel.
Vom Wesen her ernst, moralisch, verantwortungsbewusst und wirken viele Jahre älter, als sie sind. Wer sich früh mit Tod, Sterben, Alter auseinandersetzt, findet meist
früh eine Lösung für diesen Konflikt,
und die heißt loslassen. Und so fügen sich Tod und Getragen sein in der
gesunden Form von Sal maris mortuis harmonisch ineinander. Angst vor dem Tod.
History; The
Dead Sea has been the focus of interest since ancient times. Aristotle
(304-322BC) was the first to tell the world of the qualities of the
and historians (Flavius Josephus/Galen/Pliny the Elder) refer to the
Flavius Josephus: “it is useful for the cure of men’s bodies;
accordingly it is mixed in a great many medicines“.
Galen (122-c100): “the most beautiful asphalt is produced by this sea
called „Dead‟, the potency of this medicine consists in its drying and next in its
healing capabilities; it is indeed
appropriate that people use it for closing bleeding wounds”.
Largus: helpful in mending broken bones,
Pelagonius:
Africanus: healed all those who used them.

There is evidence of increased epidermal hydrogen peroxide in patients
with vitiligo. The hydrogen peroxide can be changed with a topical application
of narrow band UVB activated pseudocatalase cream which yields an increase in
pigmentation. A study was performed on 59 patients with vitiligo by comparing
pseudocatalase therapy alone with a
combination of Dead Sea therapy/pseudocatalase cream. The patients had
