MENTAL DISEASES CURED BY HOMOEOPATHY

I think Stramonium is one of the most wonderful remedies in these cases that we have.

DR. BOND: In Kents repertory there is only one rubric (there are several remedies in the rubric), “desire to commit suicide by taking poison.” I would like to hear Dr. Grimmers comment on that.

DR. GRIMMER: To answer Dr. Bonds question, sometimes when we have only one or two remedies in the rubric it is not safe to prescribe just on those. We go to the general rubric of aversion to life, or suicidal tendencies, and we get our remedy out of that big group.

If you can find the remedy in the narrow group, fine, but dont attempt to eliminate your remedy because you have only two remedies, because our remedies are undergoing further development. Even polychrest observers are finding new symptoms to add to the groups, and it is very unsafe to be led by a narrow group. Those groups should be included, if possible, and carried along; but never eliminate them or eliminate your remedy because of them; otherwise you may get into trouble.

When you have any kind of suicidal mania or intent, think of those remedies in those two big groups, suicidal tendencies or aversion to living.

Dr. Waffensmiths case of the desire to climb up a wall reminds me of a fragmentary proving of a remedy that is not in any of the books that I know about. It was introduced by Dr. Kent. It was Monkeys milk, and I gave that to a friend of mine and he did want to climb trees and wanted to climb up the wall, so you can take that for what it is worth.
