Equisetum arvense

3-432.14.12
Case by Tomáš Výboch.Man, 85 years old, urinary incontinence.He has a urinary incontinence. Due to that he got a permanent catheter. His skin itches, especially during sleep. He applied some ointment, but it does not really help.
During the consultation he mentions that he follows all the recommendations of the doctors. He drinks two litre of fluids daily. He says: “I am honest, I make a list how many hours a day I am walking. If a person moves, he lives”.
When I ask him if something happened when the problem started, he says: “No, I do not have any problem with my children, nor with my wife (Silica series, Phase 4). My credo is to get along with everyone (Phase 4)”.
He used to work as a manual labourer. He says he is mild tempered and very religious. He regularly goes to church for mass. Several times he said he does not have any arguments with family members (Silica series, Phase 4). In his house, they do not have any arguments, everything can be solved. If the other family members are right about some topic, he will admit it.
Religion is very important for him. He knows that there is an afterlife. By his faith, he tries to be an example for his children (Phase 4). He is not happy that he has three children but only one is married. He says: “In marriage, problems can arise, but one needs to adapt. It just cannot always be the same one who adapts”.
When I asked him what the biggest issue in his life was, he said, that it was maybe his relationships with women. He broke up a few times with them. Then he regretted not behaving properly. He said he had a girl that he dated. Then he had to to go to war and when he came back, he did not marry her, as he had promised. He wanted her to forgive him, so he attended 30 masses. Each mass costs 150 crowns (old currency in Slovakia).
When I asked him why he needed to attend 30 masses he says, that he read it in Catholic newspaper (Iron series). He says, that even now, in the bus, when he came to me, he was praying for his friends.AnalysisPteridophyta, 3-400.00.00: His religion is very old-fashioned. He follows the rules of the church, but there is lack of reflection. When it was mentioned in the newspapers that there is need to serve 30 masses, he follows that without asking why. There is a combination of Iron series without basic Lanthanide quality.
He directly mentioned that he does not really have a problem with his family. It seems that his life is about maintaining harmony in the family. This is a combination of Silica series as well as Phase 4.
Prescription: Equisetum, 3-432.14.00.Follow upAfter one month he feels much better. He goes to the toilet much less.
After 3 months he visits his skin is no longer itching. He says that gallstones (Phase 4) he had in the past are gone.
