11.4 Terbium oxydatum case
Width 8, Depth 6, Cure 8, Duration 6
A man of 55 years of age has been suffering from Crohn’s disease for about 20 years. The first 5 years were really bad, with severe inflammation. He was treated with cortisone, which made him worse: he couldn't even walk anymore in the end. Then he decided to stop the cortisone, much against the will of the doctors. He also rejected a colon resection. Since then he has an exacerbation once every 2 years: severe diarrhea, stool is watery and sour smelling, with a lot of blood and mucus, sometimes very light, even white, worse from cold beer and from spinach. He can feel in his abdomen where the spinach is. He tried all kinds of treatment like Chinese herbs, Swedish herbs, chiropractic therapy and vitamins which helped in part. He once also tried group psychotherapy, but stopped it after he had been the center of a role play. He lost his self-control and had the feeling of falling into a black hole, as if he wasn't anyone anymore. He decided never to do such a thing again. Self-control is very important for him. He's been using Avatar techniques for 10 years. It’s difficult to be in a vulnerable position, to open his heart to other people. He then gets the feeling that they want to take everything from him, that he will be sucked dry. If he is too open all the shit will come up. This state is also the result of his marriage. His wife was very egocentric and lazy. He had to do the housework and cooking after coming home from work. She seduced him into buying a bigger house with a better kitchen, with the promise that she would do the housework then. Later she seduced him in a similar way into having children. After 3 months of marriage he already wanted to divorce, but she succeeded in getting him to stay for 20 years.
He was also abused by the company he worked for for 20 years. He had invented a lot of things, but wasn't getting the salary that was appropriate for his quality of work. After 6 years of lawsuits, he managed to get a quarter of what he was entitled to get from the patents. He felt unimaginably rejected. He is following his own mind, knows what he wants. He developed himself spiritually with the help of a friend and is taking a training course to be a yoga-teacher. He does not express anger, but when it comes up, it is like an explosion.
He was a dreamer as a child. At school he used to perform just above the level that he had to achieve. His father compared him with his sister. His father was very closed and stopped kissing him at bed time, when he was 6, saying “You are a man now”. From then on he wondered what he was doing in this world, asking himself why he should behave as an adult.
Family: 3 siblings have ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease; Down's syndrome.
His ex wife left the care of their 2nd child to him; she is a very sensitive, schizophrenic girl.

Analysis
He’s very controlled. It’s expressed by him as: keeping (Stage 11) self-control (Lanthanide) in order not to be taken (Oxygen), to be sucked dry (Oxygen). Another form is keeping control in order not to let the shit (Oxygen) come out. He also feared the role-play in group therapy, because there he couldn't keep (Stage 11) self-control (Lanthanide) and had the feeling of a black hole (Lanthanide).
Confirmations
Lanthanides: Avatar training, yoga trainer, self-determination, averse doctors, spiritual development, sensitive child, desire meat.
Oxygen: Crohn’s disease, a stool problem; abused and seduced by his wife, abused by his company, left alone by his father; caring for his handicapped (schizophrenic) child.
DD Stage 12: Dysprosium is more fighting to keep in control; he’s just keeping control.
DD Thulium: the black hole is the same, but in Thulium it’s complete. In Terbium it’s there rarely, just as a glimpse, but it’s mostly under complete control.
DD Sulphur: the marriage problems can indicate Sulphur; but the abuse is more extensive, both by the company and being left alone by the father; so it’s more like Oxygen.
Follow up
3-4 days after Terbium oxydatum MK he got an aggravation. There was a lot to do for the company he worked for. After that he improved. It was astonishing what he could do in the past month. And it went well, even while he still had diarrhea. He can even drink cold beer. He feels much better.
The quality of life (on a scale from 0 to 100) improved from 65 to 80. He feels freer and more cheerful, he can things let go. In the past he became moody with his complaints. Now he feels safe when he meets people that are on the same level as he himself. He has discovered that he used to have an inferiority complex.
