17.4 Lutetium oxydatum case
Width 4, Depth 3, Cure 5, Duration 5
by Ulrich Welte
A 19-year old man has eczema, scaly with cracks, on the occiput, eyebrows, above the chin and in the corners of the mouth. The itching is worse from heat.
He feels tired and constantly sleepy, especially in the late afternoon and early evening.
He wanted to go to high school, but after being there for 2 years he went back to a lower-level school. His job is a metal worker, but he has no ambition for further education in his job. Everything is useless for him anyway. He broke off his driving lessons.
He only likes to play drums alone, accompanied only by a tape recorder. He likes playing drums, and to feel the vibrations in his body. Formerly he played in a band.
He has anticipatory anxiety when he performs in public with his band, but performs well.
He doesn't want to depend on public opinion, wants to be free from the manipulative press.
He's critical. He has religious thoughts.
He has vertigo in high places.
Desire: marijuana.
Analysis
He's very independent, which indicates a Lanthanide.
The way he stays out of society is typical of Ytterbium and Lutetium. The idea that everything is useless fits more into Stage 17 and thus Lutetium.
Confirmations
Lanthanides: free, religious, desire marijuana.
Gold series: vertigo in high places.
Lutetium: no ambition.
Oxygen: outcast, eczema.
Carbon series: eczema.

Previous treatments with carc, Magnesium muriaticum, sil, gall and scan had no lasting effect.
