Picture of Manganum sulphuricum

Essence: learning about love.

Learning about love

They consider their relationship to be a sort of learning process. They want to learn to love everything, to see the beauty in everything, to see the good and helpful side in every human being. They want to learn from others and make contact on a really deep level.

Being helpful to your lover

They like to help their partner in whatever way they can, both in his or her career and on a more personal level. They often marry a teacher, therapist, doctor etc. By helping their partner they feel they are helping other people too.

Helping leads to jealousy

Because they tend to give their partner all the help they need and all the space they need, things might get a bit out of hand.

They may find that the partner has taken advantage of all this freedom and started a relationship with someone else. Then they feel jealous, but even on this level they feel there is a lesson to be learned from this and the situation is there to be endured.

Learning to see and to create harmony

They like to learn to see the beauty in everything not only for their own pleasure but also for their partner. They do their best to bring joy and happiness to their partner, and thereby to the whole world. Giving parties and creating a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere is their way of being of service to the community.

Criticised for their looks

If others tell them how they can make themselves look even more beautiful they will gladly accept this advice. They want to be liked, so they will do their best to treat this advice seriously.

But if the criticism becomes too harsh they feel useless and ugly.

Case by Rienk Stuut

A 50 year old woman complains of tiredness. She has been tired all her life. Two years ago she started to feel dizzy and she suffers from pain and stiffness in her knees for the last few months, worse from bending and stairs. Her neck is often stiff, with a feeling as if it is full of sand. She likes sleeping without a pillow. Her thyroid is a bit under-active.

She is married to a general practitioner. It had always been her dream to marry a doctor or a vicar so she could help him in his work. She feels she has done too much for him. She always fits in with what he wants to do. She feels he doesnt want her, that he is ashamed of her because she doesnt fit in with his circle of friends at the hockey club. She wonders what he gets up to with other women when he is with those friends. She wants everyone to like her when they go out together. But her clothes are different and she doesnt like the superficial conversation of his circle of friends.

She is a biology teacher and likes to help people realise how they can keep the world looking beautiful. She also gives classes in overcoming fears of failure.

She wants to teach others how to promote themselves, but she has difficulty putting this into practice in her own life.

Her mother used to be rather protective; her father was never at home. Her mother helped her father with his career. When she was 9 months old they were sent to a Japanese prisoner of war camp and they often nearly starved. She wanted to get away, and cried when they were locked in after a walk.

She likes to go into depth when she talks to people. She is afraid of being abandoned and of violence in films.

She dreams of being on a journey and of marriage. She also dreamt about a group of people she had to protect; the group was being persecuted by enemies and she was busy trying to shake them off.

In another dream she was pursued by a group of men to the edge of hell.

She eats a lot. An X-ray of her lungs showed she had sarcoidosis.

Analysis

She is married to a G.P., had always wanted to marry (Sulphur) someone from the helping professions (Manganum). Helping (Manganum) her partner (Sulphur) is the main theme and really tells us all: the remedy is Manganum sulphuricum.

She has given (Manganum) her husband (Sulphur) too much. Her mother used to help (Manganum) her father (Sulphur) to advance his career (Manganum).

Everybody has to like her (Sulphur) when she goes out with her husband.

Her clothes (Sulphur) are different from the norm (Ferrum series).

She wants to help (Manganum) people to keep things beautiful (Sulphur).

She gives classes (Manganum) in overcoming fear of failure (Ferrum series).

Other Manganum symptoms: tiredness, knee problems, (<) bending, stiff neck, dreams about a group she has to protect.

Sulphur symptoms: sensation of sand in her neck, fear of being abandoned, dreams about marriage, dreams about being pursued by men.

There are some indications that she might need Iodatum: thyroid problems, eating, concentration camp.



Reaction The pains in her knee had disappeared by the next day. The dizziness also went away quite soon and the tiredness disappeared after an initial aggravation. For the first time in her life she feels completely fit and well. The sarcoidosis also disappeared.

One year after she got the remedy she still feels fine and she looks radiant.
