Gold Series - Spectrum of Homeopathy 01/2018
Gold is both our current topic and a fitting measure of the pride with which we now present our 25th issue of SPECTRUM OF HOMEOPATHY. Six of our issues were devoted to the mineral remedies from the ‘Elements of Life’ at the beginning of the periodic table through to the death and transformation of the final row. We left a gap in the fifth row that is, however, plugged by Ulrich Welte’s tremendous book on the Silver series. In this GOLD SPECTRUM we are offering you a taste of his future work on the other rows of the periodic table with his contributions here on Hafnium, Thallium, and the rare Bismuth salts. In the Gold series too we find a mixture of familiar remedies such as Barium, Aurum and Mercury plus unfamiliar or brand new ones such as Hafnium, Tantalum and Tungsten. Markus Kuntosch’s contribution on the compounds of Caesium and Barium kicks off our discussion on the themes of responsibility and power. Pratik Desai offers us an overview of the development of this topic and describes how – as the elements progressively develop from left to right across the row – the pressure increases to take on a leadership role; on the left there is a lack of readiness for this whereas in the middle there is success and on the right loss. Desai ventures off the beaten path in stage 5 with Tantalum, which is only defined by its place in the periodic table. Many homeopaths hesitate to prescribe unproven remedies. Remedy selection is undoubtedly facilitated by an unusual proving symptom, as in Franz Swoboda’s case of Tungsten, stage 6. It can also be helpful to use the clinical and personality characteristics that Sunil Anand lists for every single element of the Gold series. He demonstrates the practical value of such classifications in cases of severe pathology for the heavy metals Iridium and Plumbum. No SPECTRUM issue on the Gold series would be complete without Aurum. Here too our authors Resie Moonen and Wyka Feige illustrate unusual aspects of this well-known remedy. With Mercury we also go beyond the usual remedy picture to examine its Sulphur salts. Deborah Collins illustrates how Scholten’s approach has revolutionized homeopathy with a case of Cinnabaris in which the recognition of the themes of this Sulphur salt of Mercury is decisive. And Dinesh Chauhan follows up with his familiar style of analysis in another Sulphur salt of Mercury, Mercurius sulphuricus, which has a toxic aspect due to the mixture of Sulphur’s narcissism with Mercury’s ruthlessness. As in Jürgen Hansel’s Platinum case history, with Willi Neuhold’s Osmium case we see the decompensated state, focusing on the shadow side of the remedy. Withdrawal from power is a feature of the remedies on the right side of the sixth row, such as Thallium, Plumbum or Bismuth. Welte’s Thallium prescriptions could well have oiled the wheels of many a company handover, as you can read here in our extract. Bismuth can work for blackmail plus threatened suicide, so may help solve intractable family relationship problems. Our six SPECTRUM issues on the rows of the periodic table offer you a modern, up-to-date materia medica of the elements and we are particularly proud that Jan Scholten considers SPECTRUM OF HOMEOPATHY to be the best homeopathy journal in the world. |

The Infect Spectrum is one of the best booklets I can remember
The Infect Spectrum is one of the best journals I can remember. So many coherent approaches to the remedy, all written by competent authors, so many good facets you won't find anywhere else in a journal. Every article is coherent and informative. I particularly liked the tips from the experienced Ute Bullemer, whom I didn't know before; I will think of Anantherum for the frequent cervical erosion; Erodium is also often good, by the way. Heiner Frei's method is well presented and has long been a welcome addition to our daily routine. I found T. Curtis' description of the trembling aspen, which she describes very well and substantiates with cases that can then also be explained by plant theory, to be excellent work. D. Payrhuber also has very nice cases, especially the two Helleborus cases. Rajan Sankaran's Pulsatilla case also coincides with our best Puls cases, because they are not just as gentle as is always claimed: this characteristic is part of the picture and corresponds to stage 2. I found the fact that the patient indignantly slapped a Riksha driver interesting, because it is true: the Ranunculaceae are all more or less quickly indignant and so irritable that they can also strike, as is known from Staph. Internal or external trembling or quivering is also common to all Ranunculaceae. Franz Swoboda's excellent article made me laugh a lot. It should be added that the quintessence of his "epidemic" is also described in Jan Scholten's Elements: Ant-t helps practically all cases of chronic bronchitis to a greater or lesser extent (he did not claim this about any other remedy, and it is true), but it does not cure. His new observation of the mycoplasma nosode as a counterpart is particularly interesting. Then the cholera article: simply super, the best thing I have read about cholera so far. Especially the good refutation that only the avoidance of bloodletting and the (low) intake of fluids was the only reason for the indisputable superiority of the homeopathic treatments at that time, I found very conclusive. Then the Iquilai study: where can you find something like that today? First class. I even found Kate Birch's birch drink for all vaccination problems interesting, even if it has to be said that you can make things unnecessarily difficult for yourself with too many theoretical considerations. At least you understand why everything has to be packed into a potion. A nice case, after all. The molluscs by Mrs Schuller-Schreib are also worthwhile. In this context also the Calc case by K Adal. Then also the reference to the index at the end: a super booklet. read more ... 69 people find this helpful. Do you find this helpful?

It is not only the victims who need to be healed! It is probably the OTHERS who also need healing: the perpetrators, accomplices, co-earners, hangers-on, liars, prolongers.... of all this madness. And there seems to me to be no better medicine than cadmium! Ulrich Welte describes the excellent remedy picture in his "Silver Series" stage 12. I also find it significant that Ulrich Welte mentions the snake remedies on p.152 DD, yes, the satanic snake....

Homeopathy, an effective medicine
After everything I am hearing at the moment, it was very good for me to read the reports of doctors from different countries who were able to help patients with homeopathy. I was very impressed by the article on CO2. All people worldwide who wear a mask are affected. This increases the CO2 content in the blood, which is harmful to us humans. It triggers symptoms that can easily be attributed to the virus. To all those who have contributed to this issue: Thank you very much! read more ... 46 people find this helpful.

Very exciting and informative reading
As an interested non-medical person (is there a female form of layperson??), I have read the articles very carefully and find them extremely informative. Fortunately, no one in our family has Corona yet, but we have been taking Influenzinum for several years and have been flu-free ever since. I would also see Bryonia as Genius epidemicus in our latitudes, as it shows the most similarities. read more ... 18 people find this helpful. Do you find this helpful?

Long Covid: Hervorragend
I think this booklet is really remarkable and excellent. The articles show that there are various homeopathic ways out of the misery if you are affected by Covid or the vaccination against it. This takes away a lot of fear and gives you the confidence to get through such a crisis well. Many thanks to the authors for their search for appropriate treatment options and for putting their knowledge into words and publishing it. This booklet is also interesting for laypeople and highly recommended. read more ... 15 people find this helpful. Do you find this helpful?

Genius epidemicus
Last week, the new Spektrum booklet "Genius epidemicus - Homeopathy in times of the pandemic" arrived and I dived straight into it. It is so valuable to be able to study these wonderful experiences of colleagues (all over the world) in such a condensed form. Thank you for this opportunity. Your Spektrum team is doing a unique job, which I greatly appreciate! read more ... 13 people find this helpful. Do you find this helpful?

I am thrilled!
I have now read several issues of "Spektrum der Homöopathie" and am enthusiastic about every issue. Reading them has given me an understanding of the topic in question that I didn't have before, and in a short space of time, because the basic and important information is well structured and presented in an interesting way. I also feel that there is a lot of passion behind this magazine, which has a very motivating effect on me. Thank you very much for having it! read more ... 10 people find this helpful.
