3.7 Lanthanum oxydatum caseWidth 6, Depth 7,
Cure 6, Duration 6
by Sonja Obbink
A woman of 33 years of age has ulcerative colitis. She has been operated on and has a stoma. She still has blood loss with the stool, which is worse when she’s nervous or when she feels a fool for failing at something.
Her parents divorced early. She had a bad relationship with her mother. She always wanted to be free from her mother, even as a baby. She was very fond of her father, but he was never there.
At primary school she was like a white raven. She was one of the best. But she was not popular, was never asked to parties. Her face was tense. She thought of herself as ugly. In high school she felt less stigmatized, became a hippy and later a punk with the feeling of “us and them”. But then she lost contact with her father, who rejected her indecent clothing.
She has had attacks of bulimia. It originated out of her feeling that she had no roots. She felt lonely, locked within herself, passive, introvert and ugly. She played the clown to hide it. In her work, she feels worse when people do not listen, when she gets no attention. She has a fear of taking up too much space, to show herself too much. With girlfriends she fears being an outcast. She fears saying stupid things and being left alone. When she’s hurt, she wants to discuss it with those who hurt her. All these things can make her unsure. She feels it in her abdomen. She’s a timid person. She doesn't know how to get out of her problem and expects the doctor to solve it.

Follow upAfter
Lanthanum oxydatum MK she loses a lot of blood one morning. After that she feels much more relaxed. She can laugh about her nervousness and anxiety about being seen as a fool. She feels that she is good as she is. The colitis is much less, she has less pain, and even with the stoma her bowels are more regular.
A year after the remedy, she has stopped the corticosteroids. She feels very good.
Aloe MK was prescribed before. Her bowels were good for a week, then the blood with her stools returned.
