Erbium mirrors the patient's sense of life, as if living in a monastery.
In this case of autoimmune thyroid disease, fibromyalgia and a fatal prognosis from the specialist, the seemingly precise prescription of a lanthanide brought little improvement. The patient looked within for the source of her complaints and found an inner emptiness behind her outwardly driven demeanour. As her healing progressed, the difference between Cerium's "sense of being cut off" and Erbium's isolation became evident. In a letter the patient describes the course of her healing from her perspective.
