Case by Maarten van der Meer
A 67-year-old man, he looks stable, is quiet, slightly off in behavior and demeanor, talking he is short and to the point. Twelve years ago he had palpitations and agitation, PTSD, and this got better after
Atropinum. Later he was tested, and he was diagnosed with high sensitivity, the restlessness from all the stimuli did not go away until he took on other work, now he works alone, he is outside a lot, and has little crowds now. That went better, he feels good now. Now he comes for “the downside”. For four years he has stopped smoking, and since then had bowel problems, he is regularly constipated. One time even an admission was necessary, so constipated was he, the stool was often dehydrated, even blood in the stool, and it kept coming back. They tried all kinds of enemas, but that wasn't it, he then called out himself: it's higher, stop it. With herbal stool tea, it went better. He started eating more fruit, which worked for two months, but then he got constipated again. A scan showed he had many diverticles. With sachets of macrogol, he does get rid of everything now, in very small lumps. Clogged, but the strange thing is that now it is never hard, he has no stomach ache, and no appetite, he just feels bloated. If he keeps eating, he eats a lot and likes to eat, it comes out at night through vomiting, and a little bit of the acid. If he doesn't go to the toilet once, it puffs up, the belly is bloated. Then he doesn't want to talk and doesn't go anywhere. On bad days stool comes out like egg cups. Before, he never had bowel problems. He exercises a lot, goes to work out, running, or to the gym. He was good at quitting smoking, and happy about that, he still smoked cigars for a time. Once had kidney stones on one side. In the last weeks, he no longer eats meat.

Follow upAfter taking it, he had two days of “rumbling,” throwing everything out: he would have lots of acids, get out of bed, with a toothbrush down his throat, and “huplakee". Since then he has had stool every morning, after 10 minutes, and no more constipation. He thinks it is because he no longer eats meat. He had that acid more often when he was full. Then the first month he had the acid one more time and “threw everything out. His stool has been fine since then, he doesn't have to push anymore, often stool comes after two minutes. Other than that he feels good, he trains 5x a week, and work is going well. He eats everything, this morning he ate spaghetti, he can eat anything at any time of the day, usually five meals a day. In the years after this, he remains without complaints.
