5.10 Palladium, Case 1
A 50 year old man suffers from from cystitis. There is no pain during urination, but he experiences a sensation of pressure at the root of the penis and an urging to urinate when he drives over rough ground. The glans is red and slightly inflamed. These complaints started after his left testicle was removed because of a malignant tumour. He also had gonorrhoea in the past.
he loves to go out, to chat and to flirt. He loves company, it makes him feel less nervous. He had been married for ten years when he got divorced because they had both started a relationship with someone else, this was very much the trend at the time. He has been living together with this woman for 10 years but he still feels himself to be a bit of an adventurer. He describes himself as playful and he has travelled a lot, partly due to his job as a representative.
Generals
Weather: cold big toes; -> and > sea.
Desires: meat, alcohol.
Aversion: milk, kohlrabi (2), salted herring (2).
Sleep: good, usually on his right side; dreams about being pursued.
Analysis
The cancer of the left testicle is an indication for the Silver series. This fits with his job as a representative. The anxiety relieved by company is typical of Palladium, which also fits the rest of his behaviour: strong sexual feelings, flirting, desire to talk, going out, playful. Platinum is another possibility but it has more emphasis on power and it is a right sided remedy.
Reaction
After Palladium 1M he gets an aggravation that lasts two days. After that he starts to improve and his mental/emotional state gets much better too.
