Mangifera indica

Mangifera indica 3-655.46.10A 60-year-old man, he is calm, reserved, and a bit shy but exudes an attitude of confidence. Resigned to his complaints, he was sent by his wife. He is very tall, which he camouflages by slouching; at the door, he even ducks, as if he literally and figuratively makes himself small. He has suffered for a long time from dog, cat, dust mite, and pollen allergies. He uses medication, which sometimes helps. His nose is swollen, sneezing is continuous—he can’t hold a conversation, and his eyes feel swollen. A scratch from a dog also causes swelling of the skin, though a scratch from their dog is fine. The complaints have existed since childhood. During hay fever season, he uses preventive medication, but in a grassy field, it still goes wrong. Indoors, keeping clean is sufficient. Over the past 20 years, it has worsened somewhat. Abroad, he has the same complaints. He also has vitiligo on his hands, face, abdomen, and mostly on his wrists. Seven years ago, it appeared suddenly; he got completely sunburned, whereas before, he tanned very quickly. Sailing is the family's passion; they go often. At 18, he took a sailing lesson and was immediately hooked. Now he burns quickly, always wears a cap, and has to apply a lot of sunscreen. Otherwise, there are no complaints; he is rarely sick with a cold. He works as a consultant, sitting behind a computer, which suits him well: you get to know companies, and you can help them. He started in security services, working late shifts, but didn’t always want to be away from home, so he pursued additional studies. Now he works for himself, previously as an employee, but after being laid off, this suits him better. Energy: he notices he is getting older, and doesn’t go out in the evenings anymore but still forces himself to exercise. Sleep is fine; he needs fewer hours, and there are no dreams. The skin scratch test is negative, and his tongue is clean. One nostril is always blocked. Allergy complaints started in primary school; everything was fine back then.
AnalysisSilver series: Computer work, consultancy (intermediary role).
Silver series: “Interest in companies,” points to the cultural aspect. The allergy primarily affects the mucous membranes. Helping people, and getting to know companies—he is attentive to company culture. He has a filosofical attitude. He is reserved, often “listening” to his thoughts before answering. Vitiligo can be Gold series.
Phase 4: certainty (at work), standing behind things, his hobby: from the start, that was clear, no doubt. Stable, confident in choices, having a fixed place at his previous job, which suits Phase 4, but not wanting to remain there. Phase 6: dismissal, not feeling valued. The complaint is persistent and unchanging, which often corresponds to Phase 4 or Stage 10 (compare to Graphites). Prescription: Mangifera indica MK.Follow-upVery quickly, he had less trouble with the allergy, even around dogs. Previously, even with medication, he was unintelligible. Now he still sneezes and has eye complaints, but he is no longer sick and congested for two days, as was always the case. He didn’t even notice this strong improvement himself; his wife had to point it out. House dust mite complaints have also lessened, though, in the first weeks, he still had daily episodes of sneezing for about 15 minutes, sometimes even outside. Currently, the worst issue is red pimples on the face, chin, and jaw. The skin scratch test is negative, and the tongue now shows a red line from front to back (differential diagnosis: Rhus toxicodendron). After five months, things remain stable. He still has some hay fever; the season has already started. Previously, he reacted to all trees and grasses, but now he can walk outside without pills. In the past month, he has used medication twice after interacting with the dog (after cuddling or brushing) instead of daily. The vitiligo spots on his hands itch, particularly between the thumb and index finger (this previously indicated spreading). The facial pimples persist but are now less severe. The nose still regularly blocks—80% improvement—but it no longer lasts all day. It usually starts at 7 p.m. and remains through the evening; after two hours in the morning, it clears up. His bowels are often gurgling, worse after coffee from vending machines, though this occurs a few hours later. He still applies sunscreen daily (SPF 50), though not when going to the office.
