Case 1:
A patient with multiple sclerosis reported after taking Berlin Wall C200 (23.05.97): "I feel very well, I was on a camping holiday in Germany. I was able to walk well and even visit museums without a wheelchair. But my pustules have become worse again, especially on the right side. In the first week my eyes were also better, but now they are back to how they were before. My husband says I'm a loser. I've noticed that I no longer wear mascara and that used to be a 'must'. On holiday I even wore shorts, without being ashamed of my white legs."
"I am no longer afraid of being seduced by H. (a secret lover). That's over, I can now feel from within. I don't have to think about him all the time. I had always been very afraid of not being able to resist him; it was easy for him to win me over. That has changed."
Dreams:
* I pushed, kicked and hit my sister-in-law. She is such a snake.
* My doctor – who in reality looks like a scarecrow and has no idea about MS – looked very nice in my dream.
* About an elevator with large metal doors. I go to my boss and tell him that a trap has been set for him.
Cases 2 to 5: a family, consisting of father, mother, son and daughter
Case 2:
The father: 40 years old, a very nice and likeable man (he had previously responded well to Staphysagria). His wife reports, however, that he is very closed-off, as if "he had a wall around him" through which you cannot get. As a child he had been physically abused. His wife wants to leave him because she cannot have a proper relationship with him. For him everything is normal; he does not want to change. After taking Berlin Wall a lot of aggression emerged. Three weeks later he told his wife that there was something wrong with his urine, that it smelled of cement (he did not know I had given him Berlin Wall).
Case 3:
The mother: with psychiatric illnesses in her medical history. She has been working on herself for many years (with the help of the homeopathic constitutional remedy). She has in the past responded well to Anac, Thuj and Lac caninum. After several mutual aggressive outbursts (painful but liberating) both partners consensually decided to separate.
Case 4:
The son: three years old and like his father he is difficult to reach. You do not notice when his mother speaks to him, but he is generally very disobedient and listens to no one. He is loud, restless and wild. His mother cannot
take him to the swimming pool or go shopping with him. She has to watch him constantly; in the street he suddenly runs off, sometimes even into the road. In the supermarket he simply takes what he wants. At the swimming pool he jumps into the deep water, even though he cannot swim. If you chastise him, he does not react. He literally throws things at his mother's head. If she then gives him a smack, he apologises immediately and says: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that, I didn't understand you. Next time I will be good." Then he wants to make up with everyone again. He is incredibly moody. One moment he sits there sucking his dummy, the next he becomes violent. In the last year this behaviour has been particularly severe. He has phases of severe diarrhoea, especially after angry outbursts. He has cravings for food and especially sweets. He can eat all day and always wants sweetened drinks. If you are not careful he drinks coffee, alcohol, bath water or even water from a puddle. He wants whatever others are eating, whether he likes it or not. He has responded well to Anac, Sulphur, Lac maternum, Saccharum and Thuj.
After Berlin Wall C30 he became more approachable. He has become more obedient and is calmer in kindergarten. He can now also use the toilet, previously he had refused. He plays outside in the street without running off. You can go to the swimming pool and even to the doctor with him without problems. The diarrhoea is now well controlled with Sulphur. After Sulphur he usually becomes more closed-off again, but a dose of Berlin Wall always improves things. (His mother is a homeopath herself and treats him, depending on the indication, with Berlin Wall and Sulphur).
Case 5
The daughter: She is five years old and looks very like her mother. For a few months she has complained that she sees everything double (vertically – one image above the other), except when reading. She has joint pain and a painfully swollen lymph node under her chin. Normally she is afraid of doctors, but she wanted to see a doctor about the lymph node because she was afraid it might be something serious. She has a small but bright-red eczema at the left corner of her mouth. She is the opposite of her little brother – very anxious; she worries a great deal about him. Her mother has noticed that the suns she draws have recently been "walled in" by small circles (she likes to paint pictures with a sun in the right or left upper corner). After taking Berlin Wall she painted a picture made up only of colourful, lively strokes (no sun, no circles). The next day she became angry with her mother and at the same time sad. She shouted at her mother: "I'm not going to do anything any more. I'm just empty! I always have to go to somebody, I won't do that any more. I won't go to anyone any more." Immediately afterwards she painted a large, shining heart on the left side and a sun on the right side. The double vision and the joint pains disappeared.
Case 6:
A 48-year-old woman with four grown-up children and a very stressful marriage; her partner is passive-aggressive. She always felt worthless and like a failure. The relationship with her mother is difficult. She wants to train as a geriatric nurse and return to work so that she can divorce her husband. Training and work are very important to her and she is afraid she will not manage it. At work she often feels sluggish and foggy and makes stupid mistakes (especially when someone is watching). Then her memory goes and she does everything wrong, makes errors in speech (uses the wrong words). She cannot carry out what she was told a moment earlier because she has already forgotten it. Then she feels stupid and ashamed. She is very nervous about this already on waking in the morning. Previously she had responded well to Lac-c, Thuj, Phos and Bar-phos. After taking Berlin Wall she became even more mentally sluggish and very tired. A week later her head was clear, she could think well and recognise connections better. She could think logically again. She enjoyed going to work again. She became more self-confident, also towards other people. She does not allow her husband to provoke her as much any more; she can set better boundaries.
Dreams:
* Of a man whose hair stood on end (?!); he is sleeping. I was in his house with my daughter and the kitchen was a complete mess. I thought: "How typical of a single man".
* Of a key with which I could unlock my neighbour's house. The neighbour's boy was there, with whom I used to argue a lot.
Case 7:
Without his knowledge the patient from Case 6 gave the remedy Berlin Wall to her husband. She reported the following: "He has long been very dominant and quick-tempered. He turns everything around so that I am to blame. He sinks into self-pity and is frustrated. Whenever he is angry with me he treats our daughter especially kindly. He does not help with the household. He snores terribly in his sleep. When he was nine years old he lost his brother and his mother had to go into a psychiatric hospital, but he does not want to talk about it." After Berlin Wall he became more relaxed and reasonable. He became softer and cheerier." (Previously he had responded well to Lyc and Thuj).
