focus and only recognizes things with a delay. Almost ten years
ago he had retinal thrombosis, helped by oxygen treatment but
he has never since fully regained his eyesight. Initially that is all
there is – casetaking remains limited to the external facts. Just
once he commented that one is so often lied to.
He grew up in a rural area of northern Germany and used to
tend the cattle on the farm. Then he worked his way up and
became rich with a financial firm. He plays a lot of golf and
has not worked for many years now. His colour preference, as
he sneeringly notes, was always blue, 15C in the colour table.
His main complaint is his sight, which also frequently changes.
That is all he is worried about, that’s all. So do something about
it, that’s all you’re getting – I won’t say more.
Analysis: The chief complaint of poor eyesight indicates the
Gold series. The mistrust indicates above all stages 12 and
13. Not quite recovering something is rather stage 13. The
thrombosis, stagnating flow, could be interpreted as stage 13
but especially the large, pointed, scrawly handwriting with a
steep rightwards slant indicates Thallium . On the other hand,
Mercury loves dark green and writes in a smaller way with
more swing and mercurial flexibility. The stage 13 Lanthanide
Holmium might also be a good fit since, as a self-made man,
he is not keen on doctors, which fits the Lanthanides – but he
writes differently from our Holmium patients.
So on the spur of the moment he is given Thallium LM1, 5
drops a day. Three days after the first dose he gets herpes of the
lip, which he has never had before. At the same time his sight
improves, becoming clearer. He seems happy and surprised,
and speaks more openly, expressing hope that the remedy will
help him. After two months he is feeling a lot better. His sight
is good and other things – most of which he did not initially
mention – have improved. His carpal tunnel syndrome is better,
his otherwise constantly cold feet have warmed up and, sur-
prisingly, his golf has improved, as he is not so tense. A year
later he is doing really well. The carpal tunnel syndrome has
disappeared and the old hip pain has gone. Yet a few days ago
he had slight retinal bleeding. He has not taken the remedy for
some time – should he resume now? Yes. I have heard nothing
more from him since. So maybe it should have been Holmium
after all? Because the Lanthanides do not return to the doctor
when they are well – what’s the point?
On the other hand, another patient, also an entrepreneur and
the president of a golf club, never reported back after recovering
from deep depression thanks to Thallium oxydatum – although

Homeopathy and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
A new Treatment Concept with Polarity Analysis
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) constitutes one of the major challenges of our time.
The experienced Swiss paediatrician Heiner Frei has developed Polarity analysis – a highly efficient
and systematic approach for the treatment of hyperactive children.
This new method is based on Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocket Book, using polar symptoms such
as amelioration or aggravation as cornerstones of the prescription. Heiner Frei was able to demonstrate
the efficacy of this specific homeopathic treatment in ADHD children in a controlled five-year clinical
study, which is documented in this book.
According to Dr Frei’s approach, the disturbances of perception (e.g. visual or tactile) are the most
reliable symptoms for case analysis. Their modalities are crucial for the evaluation of the case and
they also rule out contraindicated remedies.
Heiner Frei is a born teacher. His method is easy to understand and each chapter is followed by concise quizzes with answers. The book
contains questionnaires developed for polarity analysis and uses the Conners’ Global Index (CGI) as an efficient means to evaluate case
progress. There is also a unique materia medica that highlights perception symptoms and their grades with accompanying
notes from Hering, Guernsey, Lippe and Hahnemann.
Polarity analysis has remarkably quickly become a valuable tool for many practitioners. It shortens the time needed to
find the simillimum, achieving an astonishing hit-rate of 75% in children with ADHD.
