A Case of Many Desires

Following is a case of girl M, aged 14 yrs., she came to me with the complaints of Gastritis burning in the stomach and dandruff along with the burning in stomach she has headaches.

Passive case witnessing process

D:        tell me about you?

P:        my hobbies are like drawing, painting, sketching a lot of landscapes. I’d like to become an astronaut or a scientist, I am influenced by science as a subject, and I like reading books on astronomy or energy. 

I like to know about hiking, hurricanes, and tornadoes. The destruction caused by them is beyond imagination

I like to make something about cardboard, waste paper. People don’t want papers; I can roll it and make it into something else. I like to use my idea and create something good.

I was inspired by the book “time machine” they write about time machine. I was inspired to go backward & forward in time.

Like going to amusing parks I like roller coasters a lot, it turns & then goes upside down. You go upside down, then you come up and next moment it takes a sudden turn like this sideway.  So, like it’s a little thrill.

I like something exciting or thrilling like you want to do something exciting like an adventure

In Essel World there were so many rides which were nice & thrilling, which takes you upside down or ice skating or the giant wheel

(Automatically patient connects her desires to her sensation of excitement and thrilling)

Active Case Witnessing Process

P:           I was inspired by Kalpana Chawla. She was a scientist and astronaut

D:           What about science & astronaut you like the most.

P:            I like travelling in space I think that’s an exciting place, rather than the moon. Excited to know that Mars has life…

P:            I like to experiment with things, even with food. I like ice-creams, different flavours, different colours, different shapes, sizes and I like going to exhibitions, paints, and paintings. I like seeing other paintings and not copy them, but make another different version of it. 

P:            Like discovering new places, hiding staircases, once I discovered a hidden staircase. Discover something new, rather than knowing something old

               When I grow up I want to discover a way to capture hurricane’s heat which gets released and give the world the power. I want to capture the electricity which is given out by the lightening or the heat given out by the lightning or the sound given out by the thunder, I would have done something new which nobody would have done.

Active-active Case Witnessing Process

D:           So, how does it feel to you when something new has been discovered by you?

P:            I feel excited and I feel like telling everybody that I have made something impossible-possible.

P:           So, how does that feel inside your body?              

P:            Warm & nice twinkling inside. “Yes I have done this, I have done that”

D:           In the beginning, you said, something to do with energy you want to do?

P:            I like to see how it gets transformed from one form to another, switching on the light or the fan, one is giving out light and other is giving out wind energy? So, I get comfort by both, light and the energy.  I want to study nuclear energy, kinetic energy many forms of energy. Create cars which use solar energy or which have compressed air or wind energy in that, I’d like to know also how can you use it in other ways

D:           you told me you like different sounds, different colours, and different smells. What do you mean by that?

P:            The blue sky I see it every day. I get bored of it. But when I see a purple sky, I get very excited, a pink or orange or a red sky or of any other colour excites me. A lotus of pink colour is common, a purple one excites me, lilies in purple and blue

D:           Dreams?

P:            I am stuck in some place, stuck is bad I wanted to go ahead rather than look back and get out of the dark place, I had weapons around me to get out, but I used the weakest ones to get out.  So, something which is impossible I made possible.

Some excerpts from provings by Misha Norland

The key sensation of the remedy would seem to be one of being overwhelmed. This would be in keeping with the signature of the substance as a fast-growing weed that soon overwhelms the area in which it grows and with the clinical evidence of its efficacy in treating cancers, which would place it in a cancerous miasm. The sensation of being overwhelmed was found clearly in the mental and emotional pictures, in dreams, particularly of overwhelming responsibility, and in the way, that physical symptoms became cumulatively overwhelming.

Follow ups –

In the first follow up itself the case improved, she had no burning of the stomach and no headaches, her itching of the scalp and dandruff reduced.

In the further follow ups her dandruff and itching completely reduced. She was able to manage with her friends better, and also the boredom in studying from school textbooks reduced and she was able to enjoy all things in daily routine also, she also could manage her anger better.
