He complains of being obese. This has been so from a young age and he was mocked for being obese at school. He was an outsider at school, also being teased about his intellectual father. He was always running home, but couldn't avoid being beaten a few times. He had the feeling that it was his fault, so he didn't talk about it at home. He had also joined the scouts but he stopped it after a while because the other boys didn't want to connect with him. Due to this he became very closed and wished he had not been born. He felt strange, abnormal and thus attacked. Once he hit someone's lip till it bled. It felt like an explosion of pent-up anger. He learned to manage his anger at a martial arts school.He has had two relationships with girls. These ended because he and the girls were too inexperienced and didn't communicate well. It makes him feel sad.
He’s socially not so good, being inside himself most of the time. He tends to stumble and writes awkwardly with big letters. He feels like a loner, doing things differently from others. He radiated a kind of anger, which became better from fighting sport. He has an aversion to being ragged, such as being forced to drink a whole bottle of gin.
He is studying medical information science.
He has quit his apprenticeship of his study. He felt lonely, he didn't get on well with his mentor and his work plan was not approved.Past historyHis motor development was retarded, attributed by the doctors to the fact that he didn't crawl long enough.

The theme of being mocked can fit Bromium already, but it can also indicate Lanthanum. The theme of being teased fits very well with Lanthanum.
He has two sides. One side is his strength and anger. The other side is his weak side, expressed in timidity, being timid with girls, socially not being strong, awkward, stumbling. This weak side is the Lanthanum side, the strong side the bromatum side. Together this gives Lanthanum bromatum.ConfirmationsLanthanides: strange, not normal, loner, different from others, fear injections, fear narcosis.

Gold series: phimosis.
Bromium: aggression, attacked, his fault, outsider at school, desire chocolate, < heat.Follow up6 weeks after Lanthanum bromatum MK he feels better. His physical condition is much better. He doesn't wheeze and perspire any more while running. He lost 8 kilos in 6 weeks through sporting activities and following a diet. With the sports he feels he belongs to the group instead of being an outsider as in the past. His new apprenticeship is going much better than the former one; he gets more guidance and positive feedback. He feels he will succeed.
He sleeps quietly. His dreams have changed completely. In the past he tried and never succeeded, now he succeeds. He had a dream where he got a job in preference someone else, where he was expecting the other person would get it. He feels socially better, although he has to work on that more.
As a reaction he was very irritated the first two days.
After six months his complaints are 80% reduced.CommentsIn the past he has had Calendula, Osmium, Dysprosium bromatum, Lanthanum sulphuricum. Only Osmium ameliorated and his sinus became better, but there was no general amelioration. Four years later he came back with the other problems that were still there.
The selection of Dysprosium bromatum was based on his aggression. But that aspect is covered by the bromatum and in Dysprosium bromatum there’s no timidity as in his case.
Lanthanum sulphuricum was selected because of the relationship problems that were prominent when he came back. But the relationship problem is not the core of his problem; it’s just an expression of a more general state of feeling excluded and a loner.
