Vipera berus Anhang
Huge expectation towards somebody who is ungraspable and they get
betrayed
EVERYTHING is MINE!
The idea of duality is HIDDEN and secret
Whatever comes out of this is a little bit SCARY
[Paul Herscu]
So the story goes like this. It was about 11 years ago in the middle of
the day. I was an hour late, had missed lunch, and had a long list acute patients to call back.
No point in even thinking about being home for dinner. Out in the
waiting room was a woman with a box of kittens by her feet. I noticed that one
of the woman’s
legs was 3x the size of the other. There was an infection around her
knee and pus was pouring out of a large open abscess. It was in fact the worst
looking skin
infection I had ever seen. She came really close and began to plead,
“Please doctor, please, please, please. You have to help me.”
So, after backing away a little bit, I said, “Please come into my
office.”
She brought her box of kittens, sat down and began to plead again.
“Please, please, you have to help me. This is too serious, this is too awful.”
The whole time she spoke, my eyes were glued to her knee. I looked up at
her and asked, “Well, what can I do for you?”
She began to cry. “This is too awful. I cannot bear it any longer.”
“Tell me all about it.” “My cats,” she says. “My cats.” and she began to
cry.
I was confused at this point. I looked at her, at her knee, at the cats,
back at her knee and then at her. And I waited.
“My cats have feline leukemia. I have lost a
few already but the rest are living together, they are all going to die.” She
was crying.
I tried to settle her down and proceeded to take the case of half a
dozen or so kittens. While I do not make it a practice to treat animals, I have
on occasion
treated pets of my patients if my patients asked me to do so, and if
there are no vets available to them. I do it to help out, perhaps learn a thing
or two in the process.
In any case I always find it interesting. After about an hour, I have
settled on some remedies, which I gave to each of the kittens. No one remedy
was more common
than the others. She grabbed my hand and pumped it in earnest, “Thank
you doctor. Thank you, thank you.”
She was about to leave and all of the sudden, to my surprise, I blurted
out, “I couldn’t help but notice your leg.”
“Oh yeah,” she says. “I have had this infection for so long. It just
keeps on spreading, no matter what antibiotic I use.”
I convinced her to sit down and tell me a little about her leg. It was
swollen, pus was oozing out, and the skin was a mottled mix of yellow, blue,
and purple.
She said it throbbed and whenever she put her leg down it felt like it
was going to explode.
I give her Vipera and she left.
A while later she called me up. In an excited voice she said, “Thank you
doctor, thank you. You are a miracle worker. Thank you. I can hardly believe
it.”
I was excited, thinking of all the possibilities. She said, “Thank you.
One cat died but all the rest are doing very well – healthy again and doing
great. Thank you.
Good bye.” I jumped in, “Wait a minute. How’s your leg?”
“Oh yeah. It’s doing great, too. The pus stopped, the skin fell off and
new skin is growing, the pains stopped. Well, good bye.”
I followed her progress for several months but never changed the remedy.
It was not the first time I used this remedy, but it was one of the
quickest prescriptions, made on the fly, for a most amusing scenario! Most of
the time, though,
we need to use this remedy the patient is suffering greatly and in need
of significant help, unlike the kitten lover in this story.
Vipera shares many symptoms with other snake
remedies, but unfortunately has been relegated to infrequent use, with Lachesis often overprescribed. For us, the
challenge is to figure out which remedy is best indicated in each case.
So, how can we do this? I would like to
invite you to share a method that has helped me to understand the
fullest expression of a remedy, a method which
encompasses all aspects of the study of Materia
Medica. It also flushes out the remedy picture by
showing the many ways in which a patient can manifest an illness.
This technique can be applied to any remedy, whether a new one you’re
grappling with or an older one you may have never completely understood.
By combing several models, including a systems view (developed for a
totally different field by Jay Forester at MIT), I have created a model of
health and disease.
I call the model “Cycles & Segments”. The full cycle enables you to
see the entire pattern of a patient’s illness and the segments within the cycle
group the Materia
Medica information into units of related
symptoms. We not only develop a clear perception of what goes wrong in the
health of an individual, but we can also
understand the unfolding of a remedy, the pattern of evolution of a
remedy, both in the proving and the materia medica. Essentially, this method allows the ability
to describe the reasons for and paths taken in the process of developing
an illness. It then describes the cycle in a way as to fit all patients that
need that remedy.
By taking this approach, we can easily perceive the differences and
similarities between Vipera and other close remedies:
Lach., Puls. and Hamamelis.
A fuller description of my process of developing and studying Materia Medica and my thoughts
about health and illness are described in the first half of my book Stramonium. You will also find there a good introduction to
the ideas of studying materia medica
through the ideas of cycles and segments. Here we will examine that same
process
for Vipera, looking first at the symptoms
which group together under the respective segments and then at how each segment
leads naturally to the next. In the complete cycle, we can see how patients
develop patterns of pathology and need a remedy matching the same pattern to
help them move beyond the cycle in which they are stuck.
You can start at any point (any segment) in the studying of a cycle. I
have numbered them but there is no rule about where to start. Similarly, once
the right prescription is given, the patient can break into their cycle of
illness at any point, as they begin their path towards healing.
The Cycle of Vipera is as follows:
1. Release: Bleeding/Perspiration/Urination/Vomiting
2. Prostration/Weakness
3. Stuckness/Closed
Up
4. Swelling
5. Inflammation/Festering/Tenderness/Pain
1. The Release Segment:
Like all the snakes remedies, Vipera has the
tendency towards release (bleeding/other forms of release: excess vomiting,
perspiration, and urination).
The bleeding comes from a number of causes (from the nose, gums, bladder
or uterus). It relieves congestion, which, on some level is a benefit for the
person.
This point is often missed in materia medica study. The way I see health and disease, I believe
every symptom accomplishes something for the patient. Vipera’s
bleeding relieves the tension, congestion and painful swelling for which the
remedy is well known.
While bleeding is the most common mechanism of solving the problem
of congestion, there are others.
Vomiting occurs during times of stress and anxiety, from pain,
injury or the suffering that comes with a severe infection. For example,
in the feverish, weak patient with an infected of a limb, which has the
characteristic painful swollen sensation, the vomiting can follow intense times
of feeling swollen. You might also think of Vipera
for a patient with a serious infection with a headache relieved by vomiting.
Perspiration is yet another mechanism that will help relieve the
congestion. The patient is generally unable to perspire during the infection,
and this lack of perspiration may lead one to mistakenly choose Belladonna .
But remember this symptom – if the patient can perspire, the fever and headache
will be relieved.
The same theme is present in which Vipera
shares the keynote of having a headache, > urination, as in Ign. and Gels.
As pressure builds in the head, urination, perspiration,
+/o. vomiting will all somewhat > the headache.
It seems to be that our mechanisms of helping ourselves often overshoot,
and when they do, they transform our strengths into weaknesses. You can see
this in Vipera, when the bleeding, vomiting or
perspiring go on and on until they eventually aggravate, in some way, the
patient. For example, the swelling and weakness of the venous circulation lead
to excess bleeding, which if unchecked, results in blood which becomes black,
dark, and thin. This can also be true of the menses, where the blood is dark
and may be clotted.
Another overshooting can be seen near the site of an injury, when the
skin turns black and blue, and the surrounding skin is mottled. The top layers
of skin may fall off.
Or an injury that begins to ulcerate and produces pus (healing slowly).
The vomiting may continue to the point that the patient begins to vomit bile
and stomach acid.
Every segment in the cycle of the disorder should and often does contain
symptoms spread out throughout the patient’s life. In this segment of
“Release”, the discharges are not only physical, but also emotional. As the
fever rages or as the patient gets excited, he may become delirious and quite
discontented, wanting to move from here to there. He may only move his limb but as the disorder
becomes more severe, he will start pacing, yelling at you or at anyone is doing
something to help him. As a point of comparison, however, the Vipera patient is not as active as the Lach.
in similar circumstances for the symptoms of the excitement are more on the
physical plane whereas, in Lach. they
may be more in the emotional sphere.
2. Prostration/Weakness Segment:
This tendency for release and discharge overshoots until the patient
becomes weak from it. Weakness a common complaint for this remedy and those who
need it.
We see the weakness most prominently after there has been a great loss
of blood or other discharge. A weakening of the heart can be seen in the
chronic Vipera the heart beating weakly and the pulse
becomes so thin that it cannot be felt lower down on the forearm, where acupuncturists take the pulse.
Another cause for exhaustion is excitement. We can find this extreme
prostration when the patient has discharged by screaming, expressing great anxiety
or when intense
pain has been ongoing.
In Vipera, the extremities feel and look as if
the blood will not circulate properly. They are bluish, mottled and cold to the
touch. The weakness manifests in the formation
of varicosities due to the poor tone of the veins. In the legs, valves
of the veins fail one after another. The patient will say her legs feel ‘tired’
as if she has been on them for many hours and needs to prop them up.
Actually, the chronic Vipera, feels a
generalized deep tiredness and an intense weakness. They feel beat up and just
want to go home and lie down and get their feet up to counter the tired,
dragging sensation. This is reminiscent of Sepia, a remedy commonly mistaken
for Vipera. The weakness aspect is so common to the Vipera pathology,
that it is this aspect which helps to differentiate it from Lachesis, whose pathology centers
on excess.
In this state of depletion, the patient feels hopeless, like she may die
from her infection. She lacks the intense hysteria of Lachesis,
having instead a feeling that the pains and fever are so severe and they will
not be able to make it.
Utter prostration is also seen in some post stroke patients. There are
several characteristics to the stroke of Vipera.
First, is the mottled color of the skin, which makes
us confuse it with Opium, and just to add to our confusion, the patient may be
unconscious. Paralysis and numbness of the extremities as well as the mottled,
bluish, cold limbs, described above, can follow. There may even be facial
paralysis or paresis of the tongue, which can make it difficult to speak –
though this is more commonly found in Lachesis or Crotalus cascavella. There may
also be a slowness or a weakness in the ability to focus or concentrate. They
stop caring about all aspects of their world, which again points to Sepia as a
possible remedy, but Vipera will surpass Sepia in
bringing the brightness back to the patient.
One of the biggest clues to differentiate these two remedies involves
temperature. The weakness of Sepia causes them to become chilly, and to like
warmth in any situation. Exactly the opposite is true for Vipera.
Here, the laxity and the weakness, the dull indifference to life is stimulated
by the cold. This is because heat further vasodilates
the vessels, further pools the fluids, further increases the stress on the
heart, thus aggravating the patient. Therefore, when we have what clearly looks
like a Sepia patient but she is aggravated by heat and the main pathology rests
in the veins or blood vessels, most especially on the veins, it is more likely Vipera.
3. Stuck/Closed Up Segment:
In order to stem the prostration and weakness caused by over-release, Vipera will begin to close up. It has the tendency to feel
too open, just like Phosphorus or other remedies which share this segment of
excess discharge. (The study of comparative Materia Medica when we work with Cycles and Segments is nicely
illustrated by overlapping segments which fit in to unique cycles.) As such,
they feel exposed, or weakened, hence developing the desire to close off, to
protect themselves. We see this in many ways in the Vipera
patient, for example, in the desire for and ability to create closed off
structures like tumors and lumps (uterus and breast).
The skin eruptions are generally not flat but appear as raised pimples
or vesicles and are listed in the materia medica as scarring which is thickened and keloid-like. I have found this to be true. The skin
eruptions often become infected around
the site of injury, starting out as reddish blisters and eventually turn dusky
blue as the initial site becomes gangrenous and
pus-filled.
The most well known irregular vasculature is found in phlebitis or
thrombi, which can cause stroke. Those vessels which are visible from the
outside may appear blotchy and lumpy, while the overlying skin looks unevenly vesseled. I have
used this remedy successfully in treating phlebitis. I have often wondered why
any given remedy seems to
be successful in curing any disease in particular, but the cycle/segment
model shows how phlebitis or any other problem follows the same pattern seen in
the rest of the remedy.
When there is prostration following profuse release, in the form of
swelling and bleeding, it is not surprising that the body finds a way of
holding on, in order to curb the release.
Thus, fluid and tension build in the legs to the point that the legs can
hardly be bent.
I have also observed a tightness in the chest with the breathing. Due to
so much constriction, they may feel like they cannot catch their breath at all.
At times, this is because
of tension in the chest. At other times it is because they have air
hunger due to anemia.
Perhaps one of most interesting and defining points of the remedy, is
that because they feel somehow exposed and unsafe in a too hurtful or too
exhausting world, they feel
a need to hole up or close off. In the language of the materia medica they ‘want to go
home’. I have observed the strong need to be home and to be protected from hurt
when needing Vipera both acutely and
chronically.
4. Swelling Segment:
In the effort to close off so as to diminish the weakness caused by
excess discharge, they again overshoot the mark. What results from this
excessive closing off is terrific swelling, involving the lymph channels and
the veins. This is where we find our most famous keynote of Vipera.
The swelling is a direct byproduct of the weakness (veins)
as described above. Thus we see varicose veins so swollen and pulsating
that they feel like they will explode, especially when the limb hangs down. It
is found quite often
in the chronic Vipera patient, especially
women, and in pregnant women who suffer with the most excruciating
varicosities. Here the careful differentiation is needed among Puls., Ham., Bell. and Calc. as they all share this
symptom. What will be marked, though, is the mottled nature of the skin of the
legs, as in Pulsatilla. She will want to go home,
stay home, and not really interact with the outside world. While many of these
women do well with Pulsatilla and Calcarea
carbonica and other more common remedies, some do
not.. Think about Vipera for these women.
Swelling may occur in other places as well, for instance, we may see the
pregnant woman whose face swells. Or the swelling may be more internal, with
feelings of fullness
in the chest, abdomen or stomach. If this is marked in the patient, they
will hate tight clothing and will remove it as in Lachesis.
The swelling in the chronic Vipera patient, is
often due to a slight or sometimes severe weakness of the heart. The weakness
leads to fluid accumulation that cannot fight gravity, so the gravity makes the
fluid pool in parts that hang down, below the level of the heart, ie. the limbs.
The materia medica
emphasizes the swelling of the liver as being a key symptom of the remedy.
While it fits this cycle and actually quite nicely, I have not seen even one
patient with this symptom. I assume, from reading of the effects of the actual
Viper venom, that the swelling relates more to a major hemorrhage
and attendant destruction
of the blood cells, leading to a hemolytic
hepatitis, but I have not seen this symptom in a patient and I mention it here
simply to put that symptom in perspective.
Humidity and heat aggravate the Vipera
patient, so the more she walks in the heat, the more tired and heavy her legs
feel, and the more it feels like her heart is working overtime.
5. Inflammation/Festering/Tenderness/Pain Segment:
This swelling in Vipera invariably leads to
inflammation of the swollen area. This can be seen in a phlebitis or deep vein
thrombosis in which the leg becomes red and feels hot and swollen. This can
also be seen in Staphlycoccal or Streptococcal skin
infections which are red and abscessed. The skin forms pustules and will
eventually peels off.
Mentioned in the materia medica,
but rarely seen in practice is black skin and gangrene and parts falling off
and dying. However antibiotics and hygiene have kept the typical Vipera patient from going to this end stage. The exception
is in accidental amputations and in diabetics.
When varicose veins become engorged and stagnant, they can inflame upon
the slightest injury. The legs become warm, purplish blue and throb until they
feel as if they will explode. This gets much worse when the patient stands and
much better when she lies down with her legs elevated, or when putint legs in cool water.
One other inflammation that is not usually thought of for this remedy is
severe gastroenteritis. Here the abdomen swells and is full, the mouth becomes
dry and the tongue looks burned, dry and discolored.
The patient does not want to eat anything and may have vomiting or more
characteristically, diarrhea that is offensive and
dark. Ice cold water settles the stomach temporarily, but then the complaint
returns, which makes us mistakenly prescribe, Phos.,
a remedy that also bleeds and shares these symptoms in gastroenteritis.
Largely because of what is found in the old literature, we have seen this
remedy as a vascular remedy and neglected its efficacy in the treatment of
injuries. In fact, injury
is a common etiologic factor for this remedy. In such instances we will
see broken blood vessels in the injured area or sometimes, vascular insufficiency
with pain at the
local inflammation. I have treated patients who have broken bones in the
extremities with terrific pain, bursting pains, < hanging down, where
homeopaths have tried remedies for injuries, blows, breaks etc., but it was Vipera which did the trick.
So keep Vipera in the back of your mind when
treating patients with injuries of various sorts. The first time I ever gave
this remedy was to a 20 year old young man who came in with a cast on his leg
and foot, having broken several bones. He had excruciating pain when the casted
foot was not elevated. Vipera was his remedy and
quickly offered relief.
Vipera can also be used in cases of
amputations, either accidental or else planned, due to underlying severe
chronic disease, such as uncontrolled diabetes. When diabetic patients have a
toe or two amputated due to damaged blood vessels, the recuperative time and
the complications can be extensive. It is then Vipera
has worked well to address the pain, swelling and mottled skin.
I have also treated patients whose fingers or toes have been crushed
and/or amputated in a severe accident. Even when the repair seems to have gone
well, the pain can be intense and unrelenting and the swelling and
discoloration, extreme. While Arnica or Hypericum are
often of great help, Vipera is a wonderful remedy
which should not be overlooked.
Injuries due to the bite of animals like snakes or dogs may also respond
to this remedy. Another use for Vipera is in a case
due to an injury or infection which begins at a site of unhealthy skin.
Staphylococcal and Streptococcal infections of the skin that are severe, as
mentioned below, reflect this occurrence. The affected site becomes swollen,
mottled, dark colored and may bleed continuously.
We can add Vipera to our differential of
remedies for injuries that do not heal. For example, I gave Vipera
to a young woman who suffered a bad puncture wound that became infected and was
quite painful,
< legs hanging down. Vipera also comes to
mind when an injury cannot heal because of damaged blood vessels which limit
circulation to the part in question. I once treated an older diabetic patient
who had two toes amputated. The wound would not heal and the man went into a
delirious state from the pain, the shock, the diabetes, and the pain killers.
All this was quickly reversed with Vipera and
his foot went on to heal nicely.
Lastly, the remedy is useful for skin inflammations that may end with
the skin falling away. Uniquely, it will peel off in sheets (legs), to be
replaced by new skin.
The most important keynote of this remedy is the pain when letting the
limb hang down. Patients may express it is by saying that they feel like that
area will explode, from all the throbbing and pressure. It has been compared to
a bike tire that is too full and will pop. While this mostly refers to the
lower limbs, in reality it should be thought of for the hands as well. Very
commonly an injured finger will have sharp pains, throbbing and the feeling
like it will explode, when it is hanging down. While not well represented in
the materia medica, Vipera should be strongly thought of in this situation.
In abscesses and other skin infections there is a sensitivity to touch
which causes sharp pains. Here, it is very important to differentiate Vipera from Hypericum. While Hypericum is the main remedy many consider for crushed and
injured extremities, I actually think of Vipera just
as often. Both will have the sharp pains. Both will have the injury to the
nerve. But think back to your cases where
Hypericum did not help the injury, or did not
help as much as you would have expected. If that injured part looked mottled,
if it got inflamed quickly and if there was intense throbbing, most especially
when the injured site was dependent, then Vipera was
probably a better choice. The pains have the same stitching quality that we
find in Hypericum, but if you combine the throbbing
of Belladonna, with the amelioration from cold water and ice of Pulsatilla injuries, (another remedy often neglected for
injuries and skin infections) you will arrive at Vipera.
The most similar remedy to Vipera is not Pulsatilla, but Hamamelis, which
shares a similar cycle but for completely different reasons.
Inflammation is not limited to the physical realm. Patients may develop
a type of emotional inflammation – a highly anxious state. This can occur when
an injury causes excessive pain. Patient tosses and turns, even screams from
the pain and cannot be calmed down. Fever often accompanies the state, and if
the pain is severe, the patient
may become delirious. In this delirium, the patient may look like they
need Belladonna, but Belladonna’s delirium is much more active with lots of
thrashing and excitement. The Vipera patient is more
likely to show confusion. Another possible differentiation is with Baptisia, though the smell is more offensive in Baptisia. Vipera should be added
to many rubrics but most importantly to the rubric: Fever, Inflammatory.
Another characteristic symptoms has to do with the color
of the skin at the site of injury. The skin starts out mottled, with livid and
white areas, and next to it pink, and next to that, purple, in a marbled
pattern. This happens not only in wide areas around an injury but also in the
legs or hands – the dependent parts. Next to the injury, we find the parts
becoming more bluish and purplish and swollen, really angry looking skin, with
yellowish spots. In diabetics, I have found this condition in gangrenous toes.
With the inflammation, festering, and tenderness, our cycle of Vipera, is complete. Now the cycle begins again with
releasing or discharging in order to gain relief from the swelling and
inflammation. So we see how the patient becomes trapped in this cyclical
pattern of illness.
The following brief vignette illustrates the way a person may present
who needs Vipera.
Alice is a 38 year old woman who is pregnant with her fourth child. She
comes in for the problem which has occurred in each pregnancy, painful varicose
veins. Her legs feel tired and there is a dull aching pain that gets
progressively worse as the pregnancy progresses. The veins are aggravated when
the patient is on her feet and much improved when she elevates her then. When
her legs are down they feel full and begin to throb, most especially in her
ankles, calves and behind her knees. If she is on her feet for a
long period of time, she gets pains that travel up her leg to her lower
lumbar and sacral areas of her back. It feels as if she is wearing stockings up
to her knees. She also feels
a deep weakness or fatigue in her thighs, as if she had done extensive
exercise. Her feet are hot and during pregnancy, she sticks them out of the
covers when she sleeps.
Her reproductive history has been difficult. She had had difficulty
conceiving, due to a hormonal imbalance or perhaps because she had several
uterine fibroids.
She has also had five miscarriages. She has had ovarian cysts on both
sides. During her pregnancies she has always developed a candidal
vaginitis with copious discharge.
She complains of a headache, in which she feels a dull throbbing in her
head, as well as fullness behind her eyes.
When she is pregnant, her energy drops. She loses her spontaneity, has
less ‘get up and go’ and more desire to stay home and not do much. She says she
is shy by nature and hates to do any
sort of public speaking. “I even worry about people getting close to me,
physically.” She doesn’t want to do anything around the house either. She
prefers to lie down and maybe sleep some more.
There were many symptoms and keynotes of other remedies, some of which
she had already tried. Vipera was given and helped
her tremendously. The leg pains, headaches, low energy and vaginitis
all resolved quickly and did not return. More importantly, her personality
emerged and she was able to feel comfort with people for the first time in
a long time. After a year, or so, she needed Nat-m. which helped make
her fibroid tumors asymptomatic.
Summary:
While Vipera, like most remedies, has many
symptoms, it is good to try to make sense of the symptoms, as they relate to
each other. What I look for is a pattern of the disease. I ask myself, what is
it that creates this disorder in this remedy? The cycle & segments model
provides a mechanism for finding a pattern. One thing that helps me find a
pattern is to look for the ways in which having this disease not only helps the
patient but also can become their downfall. For example, because motion
aggravates the Vipera condition, the patient is stuck
where she is – if she is away from home then getting home becomes painful. The
upside is that if she is already home she can stay there, cocooned and walled
off, away from the world she finds so painful and intolerable. As the patient
moves from each segment of the cycle to the next, the mechanism used to achieve
what she wants, overshoots and leads her into the next set of problems. When
the swelling becomes too great and needs some sort of resolution, that is when the
bleeding and pus come, etc. In this way, the cycle repeats itself, affecting
different aspects of the physical and emotional body, as it passes through each
segment.
