Picture of Cuprum phosphoricum Essence: desperately trying to keep the communication going. Desperately keeping the communication going They want to keep the communication going but are inclined to get too desperate about it, so that it loses its spontaneity. They want to avoid quarrels or disharmony, the conversation has to be kept under control. Conflicts have to be talked through according to the rules Everything becomes too forced, artificial, and cramped. Holding on to sympathy They are very sympathetic, don't want to hurt other people. They are very aware of anything that might give rise to the other person feeling hurt or insulted. Desperately wanting to hold on to friends The contact with friends is very important to them and has to be preserved at all costs. A broken friendship is often the start of their complaints. Their way of trying to avoid this is to establish all sorts of rules and regulations for the friendship. Unfortunately this usually has the opposite effect and it tends to put their friends off. A variation on this theme is that they have a friend or a neighbour who insists on holding on to certain rules, which they themselves find hard to go along with. Their friend might tell tales about them to his teachers or his parents. Ritual communication Their way of communication might become very rigid, almost ritualistic. Their speech is precise and well articulated, or stuttering and stumbling. When the brakes are off they speak so much and so forcefully that they transgress all the rules. Cramped in their studies They often have learning problems. Their attitude is too forced, feeling they have to learn everything in a fixed pattern or sequence. They feel that others expect them to carry on and not give up. So they force themselves until they are exhausted and unable to concentrate. The ultimate disaster happens when they fail an exam. Homesickness if they are being observed too much When they think they have failed they become extremely sensitive to criticism, even to being looked at. It can make them very angry and they will shout and swear at anyone who does this. They feel they have carried on too long anyway, done more than enough. All they want is to go back to their friends with whom they used to have a good time laughing and talking.

Case by Rienk Stuut

A man suffers from frequent sore throats and sinus infections, with blocked nose and ears. He likes to test how long he can carry on working or doing sports before he really has to stop, he likes the challenge, but the result is that he tends to overdo things. He has studied voice and speech control. His speech is carefully measured but full of stops and starts. It makes you think: Why don't you get on with it!.

He used to be anaemic every spring. He loves travelling, he cycles all over the world.

At school and later on at college he used to get many headaches.

At job interviews he gets into a state of cramp, as if he has had to reach too high. He prefers a chat in a more informal atmosphere. He is afraid of confrontation, he stiffens and becomes cool and distant as soon as there is a hint of disharmony. He can only deal with conflict if it is played out according to the set rules. He dislikes quarrels because he doesnt know how to handle them, he has had this ever since he was young. He loves to be the social host and make sure everyone feels at ease. He is always alert not to hurt anyone's feelings.

He also has difficulty dealing with abstract things.

He gets frequent backaches, a sort of cramp, making it difficult to bend down; certain movements cause electric shocks in his body.

Analysis

The Phosphor element in this case it quite clear: loves travelling, sociable, headache from study, likes harmony.

But this is not the only element in the case, there is also the theme of control which belongs to the Ferrum series, and to Cuprum in particular. We can recognise the theme of Cuprum in his tendency to carry on, to see how far he can go, the cramp and sensation of over reaching after a job interview, the inability to handle conflict unless it is acted out according to the set rules.

The combination of Cuprum phosphoricum can be found in several symptoms. He studied speech (Phosphor) control (Cuprum). He speaks (Phosphor) in fits and starts (Cuprum). He stiffens (Cuprum) when there is disharmony (Phosphor). He has cramps (Cuprum) in his back with electric shock (Phosphor) sensations.

Reaction

After Cuprum phosphoricum he felt fine. He has no more complaints and two years later he still feels very well.
