Patient, male, born 1976
Substances: amphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy, alcohol, cannabis
The patient is extremely tense, very insecure and feels dirty.
He is a nice, sensitive man.
History
His twin sister died during childbirth and his parents divorced when he was 18 months old. He was first sexually abused by his mother's boyfriend and later by another acquaintance of his mother. He never saw his father, an alcoholic who died early, again. He has no contact with his mother and his half-sister.
Prescription
Lac caninum LM6, one pellet daily; after three months C30, once weekly.
Follow-up
"I have become more myself; calmer. I no longer tremble inside so much. I have become more open and no longer feel dirty." He had dreamt about the sexual abuse and subsequently discussed it in group therapy, which helped him greatly.
The psychiatrist had prescribed Ritalin, but it made him very restless. The restlessness disappeared with a dose of Methylphenidate LM6, one pellet daily.
Discussion
The picture of Lac caninum is clear, with the characteristic feeling of being dirty. He is treated like a dog, humiliated and soiled.
In my experience Lac caninum is one of the most important remedies for incest and rape when the victim feels dirty and worthless.
