Natrum fluoratum [Nat-f]:
- Jan Scholten
Natrum fluoratum is the only combination remedy that is described in both my books. I am repeating it here because there is some new information I got from a few provings that can clarify the overall picture.

Picture of Natrum fluoratum
Essence: many different contacts in order to belong.
Changing contacts in the glamour world
They are very impulsive in their contacts within the glamour world. They want to belong and be appreciated. They like to sit in cafes and go to nightclubs where they usually drink a lot of alcohol because it makes it easier to talk to all these new people they want to meet.
Easily hurt by the glamour world
They are easily hurt and soon feel they don't really belong. They soon feel very lonely in this type of society.
Impulsive sexual relationships
They are very quick at making sexual contact. They act on an impulse, partly because they don't want to be thought of as a coward, because that would mean they didnt belong anymore. They are easily aroused and they flirt and show off and go for quickies, just to prove that they have made it, or to suppress their feeling of loneliness.
But they can also be very passionate and have a very intense sexual relationship with one special person. They like to indulge in erotic fantasies and games like bondage. A typical theme is that they can't make up their mind anymore whether they want to have sex or not. For instance, a girl will meet a boy in a cafe and she will feel that she has to go to bed with him, even though she has only just met him.
Hidden sex: incest
A very characteristic situation is that of incest, the taboo that nobody is allowed to talk about. This often happens in societies where the subject of sex is taboo altogether, where the children are not told anything about the subject so that they grow up in ignorance and confusion. The result is that they simply allow it to happen, hoping that the desire will come afterwards, or that it will at least relieve them of their deep loneliness.
Easily hurt by sex
They are easily hurt and often feel very vulnerable about anything to do with sex.
Alone for fear of sex
They feel they can't refuse to have sex although they don't like it. That is why they would rather avoid meeting people. It is a sort of self denial. In fact they deny the possibility of having their their own say in the matter. They may also feel very alone during coition and cry afterwards.
Abandoned because of money
They are always very concerned about money because they are afraid of not having enough. They start to keep accounts of how much they spend on others, because they are afraid that other people wont like them anymore when they have nothing left to spend. They inevitably get very disappointed when others ignore them because they have run out of money.
Breaking off all contact and withdrawing
When they have been disappointed they tend to withdraw into themselves. They feel so hurt that they will break off all relationships without a second thought. They feel nobody cares about them anyway so they they might as well be abrupt and go and live by themselves.
Alone and hard
This behaviour seems hard, but is is a form of self protection.
Another form of self protection is to get very loud and vulgar, screaming and shouting like a fishwife.
A lonely psychopath
In extreme circumstances they may start to manifest criminal behaviour, torturing others without a second thought. When their conscience starts to speak they suppress it so quickly that they don't have time to listen, so that it looks as if they have no conscience at all.

DD: Carbon series, Stage 16, Aceticums, Nitricums, Muriaticums, Sulphuricums, Veratrum, Ferrums. Case A 35 year old woman suffers from vaginal infections. She has yellow/green slimy, thin and burning leucorrhoea. The urethra is red. The complaints are worse before the menses, the day after coition and after stress at work. Four years ago she had cancer of the cervix which was removed by cryocoagulation. Seven years ago when she was pregnant she had a chlamydia, trichomonas and gardnerella infection. But the general complaints in this area have been there since puberty. The first pregnancy went very well, with only slight nausea and anaemia. The birth was over like a flash but the placenta remained behind for a long time. During the second pregnancy she felt very sick for three months and she was afraid her baby would be born too soon. When her daughter was born 6 weeks early she felt guilty and got depressed. She also had bad after-pains. At the same time she got very disappointed with her mother who didnt come to see her until she could get a cheap rail ticket. When she was 9 years old she had come to the conclusion that she had to do everything on her own in life. She felt that her parents couldn't help her because they didnt understand her. She had a very protected childhood, being brought up in a Calvinist environment with strict rules. She always had to be home by 12 O'clock. Her mother was very intimidating and used to blackmail her, which gave made her feel guilty. Nobody ever told her about sex, the subject was totally taboo. When she was 17 she first went to bed with a boy who was just out for a laugh, it was awful for her. She is still not keen on sex: there is always a feeling deep down of having to be on her guard in case she gets terribly hurt. This is still a problem in her relationship with her husband, because she doesn't feel like sex. Her way of dealing with it is to think: Lets do it and get on with it, perhaps the enjoyment will come later. When she was 20 she left home; it was a resolute break with the old way of life. She broke off her engagement, never touched her violin again and started to go out with many different boyfriends. She can be very stubborn at times. When she wants something she doesn't give up. Sometimes she screams like a common fishwife when her children are going too far. She is very sensitive to noise. Generals Weather: cold, (<) heat; (<) gloomy weather; (<) damp, (>) thunder, (<) wind; (>) mountains.
Perspiration: cold sweat under arms.
Time: (<) evening, 8 pm.
Desires: sweet, chocolate, savoury, cheese, sauerkraut, carrots.
Aversion: sour (2), fish, milk, sprouts, fruit.
Menses: every 35 days; irritability and spotting beforehand.
Sleep: good, on left side.
Analysis
Sexuality plays a large role in this case. This is a pointer to the whole Carbon series, but to Fluorine in particular. The Fluorine theme is present in other aspects of her case, like the taboos and the sudden break with taboos. She broke off her engagement and started to go out with lots of boys. The same theme of suddenly breaking with the old shows in her suddenly leaving the violin and never touching it again.
Sexually she feels blocked: she lost her virginity to someone who didnt care and it was awful. She has to be careful that she doesn't get terribly hurt. This aspect of holding back points very strongly to Natrum. It is quite remarkable that she still thinks that the enjoyment will come eventually.
Another Natrum symptom is the feeling that she has to do everything on her own, and that nobody understands her.
Other Fluorine symptoms: screaming like a fishwife, blackmail, mother didnt come till she could get a cheap rail ticket, (<) heat, (<) 9 pm, sweat under armpits, retained placenta, yellow, green leucorrhoea, (<) before menses, (<) coition.
Natrum symptoms: sensitive to noise, irritability before menses, (<)sour (2), fish, milk, sleep on left side.
Reaction
One month after Natrum fluoratum 1M she feels better and has more energy. She feels more warmth towards her son who has become more open towards her. She has started to appreciate how nice he really is. The leucorrhoea is less, sometimes not even there at all. She is less irritable before the menses. The headache is almost gone: it is only there occasionally when she done a lot of exercise.
Proving
By Francois Weber
Dream: I am in a cosy typically Dutch sort of village where I meet a servant girl. She is wearing a low cut dress with ruffles and I feel drawn to look at her breasts (Fluorine). Later on she comes up to my (?) room. I tell her I want to see her breasts and she says that she would like to be tied up (Natrum). When she undresses she turns out to be half woman, half man (Fluorine). I want to walk away but instead I go up to her quickly (Fluorine), push the manly part aside and have sex with her. I immediately feel guilty and I suddenly realise I am at home and that my wife might come in any minute so I quickly get rid of the girl. The next day I took Natrum fluoratum C200. That night I feel very passionate and my sexual experience is very intense, with much fore- and after play and a deep feeling of love.
The day after that I took a dose of C1000. I went to Amsterdam to do some business, but I got side tracked to a street cafe and I had sexual fantasies (Fluorine) with thoughts of erotic clothes and bondage (Natrum) about everyone who passed by. I am totally absorbed by this for about 2-3 hours and I only drink a couple of beers. I meet a colleague who also happens to be in town and who talks to me about Homoeopaths without Frontiers (which is a very apt description for my state at this moment!). He says he is going to buy himself a little present. Everything seems quite bizarre.
That same night I have another dream: I have taken my wife to an all-night cafe. We are drinking quite a lot (Fluorine). I feel a bit absent-minded. My wife is paying for the drinks and she asks for a receipt for every round she pays for. Every round cost 100 guilders I notice (Fluorine). When we leave she stumbles down some steps and doesn't get up. I examine her ankle which is completely limp, I can twist it around to all sides without any resistance (Fluorine). We take a taxi but there is some confusion about her red leather coat and handbag, as if the taxi driver had stolen them (Fluorine). We can't solve the problem and decide to walk home. The church tower shows that it is 3 in the morning. We are followed by two girls and I feel that I am flirting with them.
Second dream: A child has been murdered in our house. Everyone knows that our neighbour has done it and that it has something to do with incest (Natrum fluoratum). She has been stabbed. Suddenly I realise that I might be the murderer myself and I run downstairs with blood dripping from my hand, which I wipe on the white bathroom walls. It is an awful realisation which I immediately ban from my mind again (Fluorine) coming back to the belief that my neighbour has done it.
Third dream: I feel very irritable about some children who are talking loudly. I think of punishing them by stabbing their legs with a fork.
My wifes experience after Natrum fluoratum C200 under her pillow: First dream: This is about a family member who has died and who has snakes coming out of his mouth. I don't feel anything.
Afterwards everything is consumed (Stage 15 or 17) by flames. It was very beautiful (normally I am very afraid of fire).
Second dream: Something had happened to the children. One of them was lost. Eventually I found the child covered in needles like a pin cushion. It made me think of incest (Natrum fluoratum). Also a feeling as if people stayed away because they felt irritated by my little son.
Dream: I wake up because I hear my daughters voice (who proved to be asleep). It feels as if I have to make a choice, but I can't.
I feel all the time I can either go left or right.
Dream: about olive green circles.
Dream: I am going somewhere but I have chosen the wrong time.
There is a funeral but nobody is showing any emotion. All the colours are muted. The coffin is being carried along a pier towards the sea (Stage 17). The body has to (?) be dropped into the sea. When the coffin was opened up I thought: This woman has died of leukemia at the age of 37. She had very thin hair.
Next day: I feel very lethargic, much quieter than usual.
Another of my own dreams: I am in a public toilet and there are girls standing in front of the urinal. When they see me they giggle, quickly do up their flies and walk out. Transsexual behaviour (Fluorine) again.
Natrum fluoratum is the only combination remedy that is described in both my books. I am repeating it here because there is some new information I got from a few provings that can clarify the overall picture.
