Three cases of HIV/AIDS: Felician, Esther, and Maryby Jeremy Sherr
Second caseEsther was diagnosed with AIDS in 2006, but probably had it for 18 years already; we know this since her 18 year old child was infected at birth. When she started on ARVs, in 2006, her CD4 was 56; last year it was 340 and one month ago it was 411.
She is an upright, aware, proud, and regal person. Before ARVs, she had frequent fevers, diarrhea, and blistery, watery skin eruptions. These symptoms improved with ARVs but have started coming back now.
She has no appetite and is losing weight. She used to be 68kg, she is now 56kg. She feels very weak; her legs are weak and tired. It is difficult for her to work. Her lips are peeling. Her sleep is poor; she worries about her kids. She has no money to feed them or send them to school. She cannot work because she is too weak. The children are often hungry. She has pain in her joints, especially her knees and elbows. Her vision is poor. She has headaches in her temples and vertex. Occasionally, she gets the flu. There are fungal problems in her mouth, ulcers on her lips, and her tongue has a black base with a white coating. Her chest feels tight with a cough and she suffers from pains in her chest and sternum. She has a painful stomach ulcer. She frequently gets malaria attacks. She is chilly and has back pain in the lumbar region.
She dreams of being in a mortuary washing dead bodies; of a new baby that she delivers alone; of being chased by a lion and a leopard; of being married but it fails.
Her husband ran away in 2006, after he found out that she was infected; she is angry and sad about this. Her kids are disturbing her. They are infected but she can’t tell them. If she could, she would like to be a lion; then she would get back at her husband. She likes lions because they are strong and fast; if she was like that no one could hurt her. She is angry at her brother who took away their properties. Now, the house is falling down and no one takes care of it. She would like to kill her brother.
She feels that the ARVs helped her symptoms in the beginning but now she is going downhill and there is nothing more they can do.
Repertorisation (RADAR and Repertory of Mental Qualities)
Mental Qualities – Victim
Stomach – appetite- diminished
Dreams – pursued by animals
Dreams – Childbirth, delivering baby herself
Remedy:
Lac leoninum 12c daily
While the case is an easy ‘signature style’ one, it is interesting to see how well it repertorises. The Lac-leo sense of betrayal is prominent.
Follow-ups:Six months later: the remedy helped. Her energy improved and she is feeling stronger. Her sleep is much better and she has no more bad dreams. Her appetite is good and she has gained weight. A month ago, she had her CD4 checked and it was down to 360.
Remedy: continue
Lac leoninum 12c daily
Note: the CD4 often goes down initially, after a first prescription. This is because the test measures quantity and not quality. The CD4 cells are fewer but healthier.
One month later: she didn’t take the remedy and went to the hospital because of pain in the chest: they gave her medicine. She wasn’t sure if she should take the remedy and she lives too far away to come and ask. She then had malaria and was given malaria medicine at the hospital. It made her feel bad and she doesn’t want to take it anymore.
Remedy:
Lac leoninum 30c, twice a week
Five months later: The remedy helped a lot!! The doctors checked her blood and there is no virus!!! They could not understand how this happened. She feels she does not have the ‘Sickness’ anymore. Her CD4 is 560.
She has had no malaria attacks. She is not tired anymore, feels very strong and can work better. The ulcer is gone, her appetite is much better, and she has gained more weight. Her peeling lips, joints, and vision are much better and there is no more mouth fungus.
She had a dream that she was talking to her dead father. He gave her support and advice and said he would help her.
Remedy: continue
Lac leoninum 30C twice a week
