The actinides have economic, political and scientific explosive potential of an extraordinary and extreme kind, ranging from universal insight to total destruction.
For homeopathy the seventh row of the periodic table is increasingly being explored. Uranium nitricum alone has been in use since the 19th century; the transuranic elements were not yet known as substances. Since the late 20th century they have been homeopathically tested and their use has shown that these remedies, once understood in depth, are easy to recognise and, when applied correctly, develop incredible healing powers.
This issue of SPEKTRUM presents all the remedies of the uranium series and, with case studies and proving reports, provides hitherto unparalleled and comprehensive knowledge for a still little-known group of remedies.
The theme crystallises clearly: intuition, wisdom and brilliant talent stand opposite severe pathologies, traumas, hereditary diseases, intense family conflicts and cross-generational breakdown of the community.
The authors Eberle / Ritzer report on Uranium, Neptunium and Plutonium and relate them to the stages of the periodic table. Sujit Chatterjee re-examined Uranium nitricum and presents meticulously documented cancer cases. Dinesh Chauhan arrives at Uranium nitricum via the sensation method. Chantal Chemla and Martin Jakob demonstrate the efficacy of the actinides in hereditary diseases. Andreas Richter recognises in the symptomatology of this remedy group the typical reaction pattern following severe psychotrauma, and Jeremy Sherr's first-ever published proving of Americium, as well as—above all—his contribution on Californium and the treatment of AIDS in Africa, point to ways out of seemingly hopeless decline.
The final row in the spiral of the periodic table therefore does not inevitably end at the gates of hell but swings back up towards the first rows: Karim Adal and Deborah Collins testify in their case studies that people can find their way back into the light from dark states of decay after treatment with the actinides.
Ulrich Welte succeeds in getting to the heart of the themes of the seventh row and, using crystal-clear paediatric cases, illustrates how remarkably resourceful actinide children are despite their serious problems. Perhaps these children will one day save the world.
