665.25.12 Rauvolfia serpentina, Case
Woman, 40.
She has several minor complaints. Her vision is becoming worse and is wobbling. She needs glasses for reading. She has pains in her neck, as if she loses power, as if the neck goes out. The pain goes to left leg sometimes.
As a child her eardrums were perforated and her tonsils were removed because she was allergic. Later in life she had ear infections only once in a while.
Her main problem is about relationships. She is very faithful. She was proposed to 4 times in her life, at 16, 20, 26 and 30. These men wanted to have children and she did not. She did not want a relationship with a man who already had children. She did not want to be stepmother. She does not want to get other people’s shit. She would resent if children were in her way.
She is very intelligent and learns very quickly. At four she was already reading and only wanted to talk to adults. She was always ahead of others. She is easily bored and hates repetitions.
She has had several jobs and businesses; she made good money, but was quickly bored. She is now a homeopath and her practice is going well. She is clairaudient and many times the remedy is told to her.
She has an exuberant quality. For a time she was in the scene of sex, drugs and rock and roll. She likes good things, quality, beauty, beautiful clothes, a big house, a fancy car and an exquisite meal. She has a very strong personality and is not victim-like.
Hobbies: travel, going out, meditation.
She often deals with grief, suicide and depression, of herself and others. A good friend died of aids very slowly over 5 years. It crushed her, she felt like a zombie seeing him shrinking and suffering, becoming a whisper of himself, it was undignified. It was a catalyst for her, a kind of wake up call.
Her parents had no time for her. They had a lot of quarrels, like Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. Her mother was not much of a mother, unpredictable, funny and amusing, a party girl with alcohol abuse. She had a lot of affairs and her parents divorced when she was 19. Her mother just walked away. As a child she was defiant and said NO a lot to her parents, one day she just walked out, slammed doors and got her own way. She frequently confronted her parents on their inadequate parenting and made them apologise! Then she felt relieved.
She is impatient with stupid people and their dumb decisions, but she helped slow readers at school. She always knew from a teenager on that she would never have children. She was relieved to leave her family home at 19.
She enjoys living alone, she always has two big dogs that eat very well and live long lives without regular medications.
Her father was a very nice guy, a support all the time and sent his children to progressive schools. He could also be distant and often away and too busy with his factory. He became a millionaire after an invention and she was offered to take over his company, but considered it boring.
She felt insecure as a child. At school she always did what she wanted. She was almost sent away from school because she refused to study mathematics.
Animals: likes them very much; loves wolves; cannot stand when animals are hurt; likes lions, tigers, big cats with deep eyes, whales and dolphins are so graceful; she always rescues big dogs.
Clairvoyant dreams about accidents.
She had no childhood or travel vaccinations, nor western medicines.
Colour preference: white purple; lime green.
Weather: likes sunny weather.
Time: < morning, going up in night; <<- rain; cloudy skies’ make her depressed; she loves twilight colours.
