Wife b. 1942
Marguerite Pelt
This woman had been in treatment for more than five years because of intestinal complaints (pain in the lower abdomen, sometimes a pressure on the anus), severe menstrual periods with fatigue, followed by anaemia and allergies (for antibiotics, fruit, shampoos) expressed in hay fever and bronchitis and slight joint complaints. She received Sodium muriaticum, Tuberculinum, Causticum, Potassium muriaticum and Ferrum muriaticum, which improved her symptoms and made her psychologically stronger.

This woman is enthusiastic, enterprising, but also closed when it comes to her self and her emotions. She has always looked sad, is afraid of being hurt by people and therefore distrusts her.
She is afraid to be alone, to die and claustrophobia.
Previous history
She's the oldest in a family with a dominant father. He forced her to study physiotherapy and at that time she was evicted from the house (she still doesn't know why, probably a trifle with regard to the clothes she was wearing). Out of guilt, she worked in the practice of her strict father after graduation.
She is married to an artist, who was not accepted by her family of origin, who had nice creative moments, but who was also 'about dead bodies'.
She supported her husband for a long time and ensured that his artistic career yielded sufficient financial returns, while she did not practice her own profession, especially the haptonomy in which she was in further education.
Walking
In 1994 she was so strong that she took the step to divorce, live her own life and start a practice as a haptonomist.
At the beginning of January 1996 I saw her again. She felt 'strange', alone, lost her way and felt like a little panicky child. She was tired again, had bronchitis and itching all over her body, especially where clothes were pinched. In the meantime the menopause had begun.
Tulipa
I prescribed Tulipa because she was in a transformation phase (menopause and a new life as a divorced woman), she had been abused by her father and ex-husband (not sexually but in terms of work and service), she was itchy, she had trouble enjoying sexuality, but now also missed this (after her divorce) and she complained about the poor financial situation after her divorce (the fear of less money and a smaller house had long been a point not to divorce).

Follow up
After this drug she got worse from physical complaints like fatigue, itching, but also emotionally she had to deal with a lot: she had to cry a lot, dream of relationships, love and fear.
After two weeks of exacerbation she began to see that she had to say goodbye and especially to the idea that her father and her marriage were not what she thought they were.
Three months later she said: 'My whole life went to the divorce afterwards, I had separation anguish from child alpha'.
After the cure the haptonomy practice started to run well, she got more financial leeway, but also more appreciation for herself.
A symbolic dream after the means is the one in which God left for the universe with 12 sworn people. This means for her that the God (father) who punishes and judges is renounced. She also started to dream of her ex-husband less often after the means (that was before every night).
The drug Tulipa was given three times: January '96, March '96 and August '96. After the second gift she dreamt of a child who would not accept the love of mother and father. When she took the child with her in the dream, things calmed down and she felt that the child could only live in safety and togetherness. The patient then remembered that as a child she did not want to come out of the womb herself.
She is also increasingly angry that her 3 children take her ex-husband into account, but do not accept her as she is. She is insufficiently seen as she is.
