Platina [Plat]:

-Jan Scholten
Platina is a well known remedy, especially with respect to haughtiness, dictatorial behaviour and sexuality. But the Group analysis will bring out some more aspects: their sense of responsibility, their religious feelings and their sense of failure (Julian 1979, 1981).

Signature

The name is derived from the Spanish word plata, meaning small silver. It was discovered in the 16th century and its chemical symbol is Pt.

Platina is very hard, unyielding and corrosion resistant. It only reacts with Fluorine. It is used in weights and measures, in electronic gadgets, precision instruments and laboratory beakers.

It is is also used as a catalyst in many chemical reactions, amongst others in the catalyst converters of car exhausts.

Essence: the ultimate power: emperor.

A natural leader

These are the natural leaders. The radiate self confidence and they know they are going to get the organisation up and running.

Their authority attracts other people and they become the centre of the group without being questioned. They have no problem taking on the sole responsibility of a large organisation.

Success through taking responsibility

They are good leaders and they know how to steer the organisation in the right direction. When they are in charge the business flourishes. The are the noble king whose reign brings prosperity to all his people. The are at the top of their leadership career and they exude a natural authority.

The Taj Mahal is a good example of Platina. Its blinding beauty leaves you in awe of the sheer perfection of such a building with all that marble and all those jewels. It was built by 20.000 labourers over a period of 20 years during the reign of one of the great moguls.

The arrogance of power

But success can be the cause of arrogance and these people can become the ultimate example of haughtiness. The have reached the top and they are head and shoulders above the ordinary people in every sense of the word. They may become very disdainful of all lesser mortals.

There are several rubrics in the Complete repertory (Zandvoort) that indicate this state of being: they have the delusion of being taller or bigger, delusion that others are mentally much inferior, that all objects are much smaller, that passages are too narrow, that their legs are very long.

The ultimate dictator

They can also be very dictatorial. They no longer feel that they are the humble leader, instead they imagine they are the almighty representative of God Himself. They have no qualms about handing out a death sentence wherever necessary. They become more and more obsessed about trifles, everything has to be done exactly according to their wishes. If one of his minors wants to do it differently they get furious because it offends their pride as a king. Thus their organisation tends to become more and more rigid. But at least that way they wont have to keep telling people how it should be done and the organisation will more or less run itself.

It is lonely at the top

Because they are far above the ordinary crowd they gradually lose contact with the normal world. They become estranged from other people, even their parents are considered to be rather inferior, he doesnt really want to be associated with them anymore.

Offended when they can't shine

They have to be honoured and respected at all times. They can feel terribly offended when their minors don't treat them with due respect. It is an offence that carries the death sentence. They wont lose sleep over sending someone to the gallows or insulting behaviour.

The summit of sexuality

Sexuality plays an important role in their life. The continuous sexual arousal of Platina is well known. It reminds us of a king and his harem. He deserves to have many wives and even more children.

But they may also show the other side of the coin: sexual frustration or frigidity. One example is the problem of vaginismus. One of the reasons why they make reject any form of sexual contact is that they feel too superior to make contact with an ordinary mortal, let alone go to bed with them. Another reason why they might not want to have sexual contact is that they feel they have failed in their leadership. They haven't been able to manifest their royal power, so they can;t have a royal harem or a wife.

Sexuality is very important to them because it is just about the only way in which they can make contact with ordinary human beings. Analogous to this theme is the fact that Platina only reacts with Fluorine, where Fluorine stands for sexuality.

In the Complete repertory we find many rubrics related to this theme: adulterous, ailments from, excitement, celibacy, being unmarried, amativeness, ailments form sexual excesses, ailments from sexual excitement, amorous disposition, dreams, amorous, dreams, lewd, lascivious, delirium, erotic.

Being the focus of religious power

Religious feelings also play a large role. They feel intimately connected to their religious power and consider themselves a representative and executor of Gods plans. In the Complete repertory we see: anxiety; salvation, about, hell, of, delusion, devils; possessed of, delusions, religious, despair, religious, godless, want of religious feeling.

Failure through rigid power

They don't often fail, because they have an inborn aptitude or leadership. The people around them sense this natural power they exude. But their dictatorial behaviour may cause these people to turn against him. Their greatest pitfall is rigidity. They have become so isolated and far removed from the reality of ordinary people that they don't realise when change is needed.

Or they might feel superior but are unable to make it come true.

Strange how other people don't realise how great they are!. Their outer weakness is compensated by inner illusions of grandeur, by murderous impulses or by sexual fantasies.

Something will go wrong at the last moment. Platina is a born leader and he is put in a position of power as a matter of course. Case A 30 year old woman comes with symptoms of hayfever, sneezing, itching nose and watery discharge, (<) cats, (<) dogs, (<) hair and dust, (<) damp houses, (>) dry and warm air. It started when she was 17 and she had taken her final school exams. She didn't know what to do next and felt alone in her situation.

She often feels tired and weak and it makes her feel depressed and lonely. All she wants to do is lie in bed and cry, although a strict regime of work usually makes her feel better. She feels worse when she is doing things that other people, like parents or society, are expecting her to do. She feels she has to create something very big to satisfy everybody.

She is quite proud and easily offended. She wont say it but will show it by going off on her own. She feels totally out of place in society, as if she is not accepted. She also feels terribly powerless and has the sensation as if she is wearing a coat that is too big. This theme often comes out in her dreams. She dreams she has to play tennis using a tea strainer. The tea strainer is too small and keeps bending. She can't hit the ball properly because there is a big machine in the way just behind her.

She also had a dream in which she was walking near an area that was fenced off with little flags. There was a little girl inside the fenced area. She jumped in as well and turned round to discover a huge black crowd of people who had followed her. She thought: What have I started?!.

She is having a relationship with another woman. Sexuality is a painful subject. She can't surrender to it because she is afraid.

She also has sexual dreams, that she is going insane from too much sex, or that someone catches her masturbating.

She loves books and theatre and she is very poetic. Sometimes she gets onto the stage with two friends and they perform all sorts of rituals, which gives them the giggles because they are just talking rubbish.

She has a good sense of humour and she is very loyal. She tends to live with her head in the clouds and hates reality. She is very involved in spirituality and following her inner path.

Generals

Weather: cold, (<) damp cold, (>) sun, fear of thunder.

Perspiration: axilla, (<) night. Time: (<) night. Desires: oven dishes, starch, spices, nuts, alcohol. Aversion: fatty meat, milk. Food: (<) fried bacon. Menses: much bleeding (3), stomach pains (2) and tiredness. Analysis A typical symptom is her pride and touchiness. This would indicate either the Silver- or the Gold series. The dream that their is suddenly a huge black crowd of people behind her is more indicative of the Gold series. Being big is a matter of course for her: she is wearing a coat that is too big, she has to create something big. This indicates Stage 10, thus we get to Platina. I have to add that I took this case 5 years ago and solved it in the classical manner. I took the symptoms: feeling large, easily offended, lesbian, fear of sexuality, dreams of going mad through too much sex. Apart from this there are some more symptoms belonging to the Gold series: depressed, (>) tight work schedule, (<) reality, (>) spirituality.

Other Platina symptoms: going off on her own, away from other people, feels she doesnt fit in society, dreams about playing tennis with a tea strainer that bends (too small), not being able to hit the ball properly because there is a big (Platina) machine just behind her, unable to realise her power, lonely and sick.

Reaction

The hayfever disappeared within a month of taking Sabadilla 1M. But after Platina her whole condition improved. She gradually felt better and better and within a few months she didn't feel depressed or tired anymore.
