Meles meles
Year 2022CaseAuthor: Jan Scholten
Man, 50, headache.
He has headaches once a week for the last 4 to 6 months. It is behind his eyes and in the corner of his eyes. With it he is tired, has eye pain and sinusitis with a clogged nose. It goes together with a kind of bad taste in his nose, like a rotting animal. The first time he had those headaches was many years before when he was in Kuwait as a soldier. Then they were much more severe. There it was hot and he was scared as he was shot at by the Iraqis regularly. He saw a lot of dead bodies. It was his first time in combat. It made him very vigilant and when he came home he was more aggressive and protective. Then he also had sinusitis with a clogged nose.
He liked being in the army, but did like all he has seen, the killing and dead bodies. It made him more accepting and tolerant, less thinking in stereotypes, more open for women and homosexuality. It showed what inequality is, what hatred can do. As a soldier he had to take an experimental anthrax vaccine, stupid thing.
He dreams about wars, dead bodies and snakes. He had a dream of zombies taking over the world, we got a needle in our back against, a kind of vaccination not to become a zombie, zombies are humans who are dying.
At 17 he had a measles vaccination and got very sick with a high fever for 4 days. They had to apply ice on him to bring the fever down. As a child he had ringworm, mumps and scarlet fever.
He likes his work as a teacher.
He loves cooking.
He likes biking, 20 km a day. He loves to be in nature, hiking, riding a horse.
He hardly has stress, except now from his headache.
He has is very connected to his daughter and grandson. It is troubling him that they are moving quite far away. He fears harm can come to them as they start living in nature and they could be harmed by crazy people, gangsters, murderers, bears, cougars, badgers.
He worries about the anxiety of his wife.
His way of talking is short, abrupt, very matter of fact.
He is confident. Sometimes he can be aggressive to his wife.AnalysisThere are many themes of animals like aggression and killing, loving nature and animals. I have the idea that voluntary soldiers are an indication for an animal remedy. The fact that he is very family connected is indicating a mammal.
So far the analysis was quite reasonable. But what mammal is to be prescribed? He talks about cougars, the Puma concolor. He is a bit a loner, but not to the extend of cats. He make longs walks alone, but is very attached to his family. He also talks about badgers, Meles meles. And that felt as fitting him. He has a similar mix of loner and family man. He is very confident at one hand, but can be anxious too and goes his own way, avoiding conflicts. Badgers are very social, living with extended families. They can be aggressive but avoid direct confrontation with people and animals.
He gives the feeling of being very honest and direct. On the other hand he feels very closed and contracted. He feels nice and soft at one hand, but rough and hard on the other hand. It is like a rough shell with a white kernel. For me that feels fitting the badger quite well.Animal: loves nature, animals; attacked; fear being killed; aggressive.
Mammal: very concerned about wife and daughter.
Phase 5: loves cooking.Symptoms that we can find in the proving of Meles meles are:
Alert
Confident and capable.
Aggressive.
Strong urge to get up again and go for walk;Follow upAfter Meles meles his headaches disappeared. After a month or so he developed a pain in his left upper leg for a short time. He had that before. He also developed an eruption on his legs for a month or so. And he became less active, taking more pleasure time.
After half a year he is doing fine. He is more open and relaxed.LiteratureNorland, Misha & Fraser, Peter & The School of Homeopathy; Proving: Badger (Meles Meles) 2009.
