An image of perseverance
They like to have the image of someone who perseveres. They work hard and once they have started something they will carry on until the end. They are very responsible and perfectionist and wont admit defeat. Although they work hard, it is as if this doesn't come from within, but is only an image they want to present to the world, the image of someone who doesn't give
up.
Firm together with the family
They don't want to let the family down, they feel that it is expected of them that they will manage. So they have to carry on to make sure the family image remains intact.
Firm against your family
Their family often puts them under great pressure and they are too fragile to resist. They are too shy to stand up against their forceful colleagues or friends. Or they let the family walk all over them or hurt them. They have great difficulty showing their vulnerability, feeling they will be trampled.
A family image of perseverance
They often grew up in a forceful family. Father could have been a soldier, he was firm and disciplined, telling the children that life was all about pushing yourself. Our family doesn't give up. Life was run along strict disciplines, as if they were in the army. The house was kept in a similarly immaculate order.
Forced obstinacy
They come across as being very obstinate, but this is often a bit forced. They appear to be very strong, but this is no more than an outward show. Inside they are shy, vulnerable and modest.
Failure through fragility
They are very afraid of failure. They tend to force themselves until they are at breaking point. And when they do fail they worry that others will no longer like them, that their family and friends wont accept them anymore. They are afraid that nobody wants to know such a weakling.

Case by Rienk Stuut
A 35 year old woman suffers from frequent colds, sinusitis and coughs, which take a long time to clear up. Her first child was born one year ago and since then she has been feeling very tired.
She spent 4 months at home being ill. It started with a dry cough, worse at night with a stopped up feeling in the chest.
After that she got herpes on her top lip on the right side, something she has had from time to time since she was 16. She also started to get dizzy, (<) standing and (<) moving her head.
Pain above her right eye and pressure underneath the eye, which turned out to be a sinus infection. Complaints are (<) at night, pressure, eating and cold. It isn't getting better, even though she has plenty of sleep and goes to bed at 9 pm.
Her daughter goes to the creche two days a week and she has a part time job working with computers. She finds these days quite hard, because of all the hurry. She feels the responsibility of working and having a child is a bit much because she is too much of a perfectionist. Several times a year she has a dream that she is in the final year of a secondary school and wants to transfer to another college but she can't finish the required reading list.
This wasn't the case in real life, but she recognises the feeling of not getting things done on time. She feels she has to be able to do it, and she has great difficulty admitting she can't. When I start something I don't give up until it is done.
She is always busy planning and making sure her schedule runs on time. She grew up with the idea that things have to get done, it is no good sitting still, you have to set yourself some targets.
She wonders whether she should carry on with her job or whether it is better to stop for a while. But I can just imagine what my friends would say.
She finds it difficult to stick up for herself. She used to be very shy as a child, always did as she was told. Her mother didn't want her to go to university so she didn't. her only form of protest was doing nothing. She never learned to answer back, but she quietly goes her own way.
She dislikes job interviews and is afraid of failure or being criticised on what she has to say for herself. She only feels confident when she is sure that she knows more about a particular subject than the person she is talking with.
She used to suffer from boils on her buttocks, back and legs. She also used to have problems with her teeth, she had large fangs.
Seven years ago she had a myoma removed because of severe bleeding and anaemia.
Generals
Weather: (<) cold (3); cold feet (<) evening.
Perspiration: on her chest at night.
Time: (<) night.
Desires: warm food.
Aversion: meat, because it isn't good for your health and she feels sorry for the animals, coffee.
Menses: profuse, clots; sacral back pains (<) before menses, radiating to right leg.
Sleep: bad (<)(<) daughter waking up frequently; on right side; frequent waking, difficulty falling asleep.
Analysis and reaction
Silica seems to be the indicated remedy if we use the old way of analysing the case: She is sensitive, suffers from sinusitis, feels tired, cold, perspiration at night, aversion to meat, boils, teeth problems.
After Silica 1M she feels much better, less uptight and less colds. Six months later she comes back because she can't carry on like this. She is 4 months pregnant and she has frequent colds again with a tickling cough that sometimes makes her vomit. Involuntary urination from coughing. White leucorrhoea with burning and itching. Anaemic again, I am still so tired, I simply can't go on. She is afraid that she wont be able to cope without her husband who is going away for 3 weeks.
Silica 1M brings some improvement but she remains very tired. The anaemia doesn't get better, the iron level is low. She says: I still feel I have to prove that women who have children can also have a job. On the other hand she feels sometimes that people think: one of those working mothers again! I have to make a good impression, especially at work.
She had a dream that she went to the higher education college and her best friend told her that two boys in her class wouldn't accept her. One of the teachers had persuaded her to take the step and the challenge had appealed to her. She always told people she had done badly in an exam, to protect herself from a possible disappointment.
On further analysis it becomes clear that there is something else beside the Silicium element in this case. The perseverance, the anaemia, the profuse menses, (<) night, fear of failure and right sidedness are all part of another element, i.e. Ferrum.
Taking these two elements together we see the combined theme of Ferrum silicatum: I have to make a good impression at work. She has to make a good impression at all costs. She doesn't want to appear a failure in front of her family and friends, she has to be able to manage.
After Ferrum silicatum 1M the improvement is lasting. She can manage quite easily, even with two children. The pressure has gone, everything runs smoothly.
Ferrum silicatum is a new remedy.
