Remedy code: 3-655.36.14.
A seven-year-old boy, he is the third child, his mother has been remarried for three years. He has had an itchy rash for years, bumps in the folds of his groin, behind his knees, and in his armpits, and nothing helps. Since he was three weeks old, he has been using inhalers, including Flexotide and Pulmicort, due to thick mucus that could be pulled out with threads. He was often congested and had wheezing breath. In cold weather and when pollen are in the air, he coughs, and it quickly affects his lungs. He receives speech therapy and only started talking after treatment when he was three years old. While this is being told, the boy changes from being quiet and inquisitive to a kicking, rumbling, and restless person. A little later, the mother says that normally he cannot sit still, his body is always busy, and he suffers from compulsive movement. School say he has a fear of failure, but he always acts very tough. He is smart and hears everything. His sentence structure is not good. He has almost no friends, spends a lot of time with older people, and always wants to compete with others; “I'm better than them,” you often hear him say. His motor skills are terrible; he rode with training wheels for a long time and was laughed at for it, which made him very sad. At first, they thought he was deaf as a baby. Now it turns out that sounds are too loud for him. It's always 'don't listen, keep going'. He reacts to everything; 'am I doing it right', 'Oh oh, I did something wrong again'. His mother is very gentle, in her speech and her feelings. She focuses her attention on the child without looking, and she is very receptive, letting her partner do the 'strict' work. The boy seems preoccupied, in his little world, turning and moving on inner impulses. He has difficulty assessing what others mean but is very sensitive to attention. He likes fixed patterns and structure; if you deviate from them, he gets upset. He even wants to keep a bandage on, even if the wound is closed. Compulsive behaviors: washing hands, the plate must be empty down to the last crumb, constantly asking “Am I doing it right,” waiting at the door. He never talks about feelings. Sleep is good, waking up at regular times.
Dreams: nightmares about the previous school, “a kind of Halloween,” once about an army, his team was being shot at. He tells this with faltering speech, and poor articulation, but the sound is good (you know from this that there is no tension in the throat or in the diaphragm and pelvic muscles). He leans forward, and speaks in short sentences, in chunks, putting things into perspective, such as 'it's a bit scary'. He is never afraid, but when practicing on his bike, he finds riding fast scary. He is very good with numbers. He is the first child of his mother's second husband, has two older brothers, and sometimes asks about this, and how it works. “Why do you love him?” “He is very sensitive to your feelings, he sees a lot. You have to tell him everything, look at him very clearly.” The mother used Xeroxat during her pregnancy, she thinks that is the cause of his problems. She suffered that time from compulsive behavior and anxiety; she was bullied in her youth and had suppressed those feelings for years. The boy's mood can change suddenly, but he is never grumpy. Typical of him is: playing the clown, being funny, dancing, “look at this,” moving around. Parroting. He doesn't get angry but withdraws. If you ask him what's wrong, he says “nothing.” He makes excuses for everything when things get too difficult, wriggling out of situations, literally and figuratively. He also has fungus, in the middle of the sole of the feet, the diaphragm region in foot reflexology. His eyes are dry, and he blinks a lot. He eats well. He wants to be a garbage collector when he grows up; he likes to help and is good at cleaning up.
AnalysisHis sensitivity, the way he makes contact and communicates—especially with his mother—is characteristic of the
Malvales (reading facial expressions and posture, empathy, strong nonverbal communication). Problems with the mucous membranes and respiratory tract are characteristic of the
Malvales, and problems with the voice are characteristic of the
Malvales and in particular the Sterculoiceae. Restlessness, turning away literally and figuratively, shutting down, clownish behavior, acting out, and motor development problems are often seen in case studies of
Abroma augusta.

Follow-upReport after two months: no more coughing, no more phlegm, no more Flexotide, which he had been using his entire life. His airways are now clear. The itching has gone, although he occasionally gets a small bump. The athlete's foot has gone. He is still very active. After taking the medication, he became very cuddly and wanted to be held a lot. That has remained, and it just happened suddenly, out of nowhere. It can be very intense, holding you tightly, then suddenly changing into not wanting to be held. The last week he has had enormous fears, which he always had, but now it is exaggerated for spiders, wasps, not daring to go to the toilet, and child molesters. The compulsive behaviors are still there. He rubs his eyes a lot. He sleeps well, but in the past, he used to grind his teeth. He remains 'untouchable'; if you look at him, he turns his eyes away, if you give him a stern look, he hangs over his mother. Over the year, his behavior improves, and becomes calmer. Complaints no longer arise. Respiratory tract: no longer bothered.
