From Kalium to Krypton – an overview of the Iron series
AUTHOR ¦ Ulrich Welte
SUMMARY:
the Iron series is the fourth row of the periodic table and the first with all 18 stages fully developed. This
comprehensive overview, using Jan Scholten’s Element theory, describes the development of the themes in this series
from stage to stage: work, duty, routine, iron discipline, order, rules, norms, control, perfectionism with a fear of
errors and the associated feelings of guilt. These common themes are expressed to different degrees depending on
the position of the individual elements in the Iron series. This article uses concise and vivid cases from the author’s
own practice to illustrate the system of the stages and their typical life situations. They demonstrate the practical
application of the periodic table, as well as the role of salts, in homeopathic treatment.

The Iron series in the periodic table:
the Iron series is the
fourth and middle row of the periodic table. In homeopathic
terms, it is the center of life, surrounded by childhood and youth
(Carbon and Silicium series) on the one hand, and the gray hair
of maturity and old age (Silver and Gold series). In the Iron series,
life is at its fullest – the usual madhouse of everyday life with all
the joys and sufferings of the adult world of work and career;
workers, farmers, employees, and the middle classes.
The stages or periods of the periodic table proceed through their
specific themes along the spectrum of growth, zenith, and decline
in a maximum of 18 stages. The Iron series is the first one to have
all of the 18 stages fully differentiated.
THEMES OF THE IRON SERIES
Work, rules, and iron discipline determine life.
Standardized approaches are preferred.
One has duties and rights, and everyone must perform their
assigned tasks.
Teamwork ensures that more can be achieved than on one’s own.
Above all, one should be normal and behave appropriately.
It is best not to stand out too much. What are the others
thinking about me?
Life is centered on the company, the firm or the factory.
Other typical, manageable settings are the school, village or
small town: everyone knows everybody else and everyone has
their place.

The
case descriptions are real-life examples taken from our practice
and show the practical and straightforward application of
Element theory and how this can be used to heal sick people.
The combination of series and stage pinpoints the optimal remedy.
